Need to zoom out to reveal they’re going a finonacci sequence. 1, 1, 2…

Oh for sure, but let’s say I’m running the model locally using my GPU instead of, say, using it to play a game using that GPU. It’s all technically wasteful, but by that standard everything we use our computers for are wasteful. I’m not even sure if running it locally counts for usage statistics, either, although I suppose download counts could.

Granted, I don’t like the wasteful use of AI models (especially unsolicited bullshit from copilot) and I certainly don’t like the use of stolen material for corporate gain, but I’ve never been against individuals using pirated software, music, video, etc, for personal usage even before AI.

Don’t have an argument against it normalizing the behavior, though. I’d like to believe there’s an ethical way to adopt new technology without screwing some people over, but that’s probably not possible under capitalism.

Plus it’s not like it’s commercial usage, nor would you have hired artists to illustrate all your characters for a session like that. It’s one of the few ethical usages of AI, imo.

Reminds me that AI can be used for OG Baulders Gate / Icewind Dale style character portraits. Stable Diffusion literally has a Lora for it, iirc.

How apt, our ginger cat had to be hospitalized for urinary blockage last week. I’m glad we saved his life, good time to celebrate our little orange guy.

That was my thought, too. Lol

Makes me miss Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Who is Zorak’s friend, though?

Was it DSM I or II that had PMS as a psychosis? I like to think of Cthulhu giving a player irritability and cramps.

Cats can be remarkably affectionate to our little ones. The crazy thing is, we had two cats and the personable cat didn’t care about our newborn, but our shy afraid-of-everything cat wouldn’t let her out of his sight. Two years later he’s still with us, and he’s guarding my second kid as I type this.
