  • Payment Processors Are Pushing AI Porn [based on real people] Off Its Biggest Platforms | 404 Media

  • Which would just force the efforts underground, where there's NO curation or moderation. People passing out databases of LoRAs on torrent sites, IRC, or underground bulletin boards. Or they'll just host in a different county that isn't the US.

  • OP is editorializing the headline ("based on real people") to try to push some agenda here. The fact that 404 Media already has vendetta against sites like CivitAI is bad enough. No, a majority of the models are not porn, not based off of celebrities, and no animals were harmed in the making of this film. Sure, you can point to certain examples of celebrities type models, but most of them are just for concepts not a specific person, and celebrities like to put their pictures out there for anybody to train against. And I do mean anybody can train against these. The hardware requirements are not hard, and besides the Patreon-fueled efforts of certain contributers, it's just Joe Average people submitting their own LoRAs for concept training.

    Let me ask you a simple question: Do you like the current situation with the exploitation of women coming from the real porn industry? Or would you prefer an outlet where there are no men or women (or children) exploited at all?

  • The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized the domain names of several gaming-related pirate sites, including NSW2U.com, which has been Nintendo’s nemesis for years.

    Ahhh, there's the real reason. Nintendo put pressure on the FBI, because Nintendo.

    Why? At this point, I would throw all Nintendo hardware in the garbage. Let it stay unbanned than support such a shitty company.

  • The unworkability is a feature, not a bug.

  • Software subscriptions: you own nothing and you'll be happy

    Jump

  • Same company acquired two very similar apps.

    One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year

    So, why are you using a subscription at all, and not a free and open source app?

    You know what Blender is? It's the industry standard. Why is it the industry standard? Because it's free, open-source GPL, it can never be taken away from you, it can never be "acquired", everybody's using it, and everybody is contributing towards improving it. Nobody is bitching about how Blender is extracting millions of dollars from its users and reducing its feature set at the same time. (cough cough Photoshop cough)

    Free and open source software. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. Fuck subscriptions.

  • Everybody who is hated and popular gets death threats. Hell, even the nicest actors get death threats.

    They are easy to write and send, and there's 0.01% of the population that is mentally unstable enough to actually do so. You and I don't get death threats because we aren't popular enough.

  • Pulseaudio was introduced in 2004. How come it took almost 20y for it to be replaced if it was that bad?

    Did you learn nothing from X11 usage? May I remind you that X11 was invented by Xerox in the fucking 80s?!

    Bad software attaches itself to OSs like a cancer.

  • Nobody Cares If Music Is Real Anymore

    Jump

  • People want to charge $15-20 for a CD, and if I did that for every album I listened to on Spotify, I would have spent at least a luxury car's worth of music. I'm not going to ever pay that much again. Concert prices are already bad enough.

    Piracy or streaming, pick one. Because the choices we had before that sucked.

    The real problem is oversaturation, and the general worth of music. Good music is everywhere. People are making it every day and putting it out there, on Spotify, Bandcamp, wherever, and it's all free or very cheap to listen to. Why should I specifically pay attention to Yee or Lil Shitstain or whatever is the college rock band of the week that got insanely popular?

  • You can do some wild shit with pipes:

    • head -10 /var/log/syslog - Look at the first ten lines of one of your log files, with timestamps on the front
    • cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 - Splits the lines by a space delimiter (the -d' ' part), and grabs the first "field" (the one with the timestamp, using -f1)
    • cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 - Splits the timestamp at the "T", and leaves only the date
    • cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 | sort | uniq -c - Gives you a count of each date
    • grep systemd /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 | sort | uniq -c - For only the lines with 'systemd' on it, gives you a count of each date

    The standard GNU toolkit has a ton of utilities like that for doing stuff with text files.

  • Nothing is "an apocalypse" for anything.

    JFC, people, stop pushing these extreme opinions on AI. It is not simultaneously the solution to everything and the end of the world. It's just a goddamn tool.

    Stop hyping new technology... in either direction.

  • Then don't live there.

    I'm sorry, but I can't sympathize with normal people with normal salaries that choose to live in the most expensive cities in the world, and then discover that they can't afford shit, especially when they find themselves out of a job.

    Move out, find towns that are affordable, go work for employers that embrace remote work, get a normal salary, and enjoy a low cost-of-living.

    It is 2025. The job market is global and remote work is now. If you're relying on salary to be magically tied to where you live, then you obviously don't know how capitalism works.

  • Oh, geesh, where have I heard this pattern before with technology? Is it self-driving cars? Remember when the sky was falling because everybody said car transportation was going to change overnight because a bunch of fucking college students figured out how to win a self-driving car race. Where the hell is my fully-autonomous Level 5 self-driving car that was going to replace all of the truck driving jobs? Oh, what's that? Are all of the jobs still here?

    Technology moves the needle. It does not jam it all the way to the other side. Stop spending trillions of dollars on pipe dreams, only to have to force expectations back to reality ten years later.
