I made an AI chatbot for OnlyFans models. Their fans can speak to "them" via a third party messaging app. It's currently pulling ~15k USD MRR. I built my own GPU infra for inference and I run Llama 3 with a fewshot prompting to get the model to respond like a given OF model, typically using their actual DMs with fans.
I don't have a website for obvious reasons, but if you're in the biz you've no doubt heard about my tool :)
- j0hnyl 2y agoYour GPU infra is a local server?
- GaryNumanVevo 2y agonot local, it's colocated, but I specced and built it specifically to do inference at scale
- lbhdc 2y agoCan you describe your GPU setup? I have been super interested to get some coloc space, but have a ton of questions.
- GaryNumanVevo 2y agoNothing fancy, just bought a motherboard from SM, and a 4U case. I have a couple of boxes with 6 NVIDIA 3080s and recently upgraded to a used super micro with 8 A100s Colocation wise, you pretty much buy the space, show up with the server and rack it yourself into a locked cabinet, not much else
- lbhdc 2y agoThat is sick, I wanna build out something of a similar size (sans gpus). How much does colocation cost in your area?
- munificent 2y agoI don't mean this in a critical way to you but, man, this makes me so sad to think about. Models making money from lonely people so desperate for a connection that they pay to chat with someone and then they don't even end up chatting with a human at all.

- GaryNumanVevo 2y agoIt's not really that sad. Young guys with a bit of disposable income could do a lot worse than subscribing to someone's onlyfans and chatting with a bot. I don't charge subscribers directly and don't do any pay-per-message scheme, it's free for the user (provided they're subscribed to my client's page). The conversations aren't even overtly sexual in nature, mostly just guys sending "hey hope you're having a good day" during work hours. Llama is good, but honestly I think anyone would probably know they're talking to a bot after a few days, but they still keep talking to it anyways.
- e12e 2y ago> The conversations aren't even overtly sexual in nature, mostly just guys sending "hey hope you're having a good day" during work hours. I actually think that's worse. Ed: but props to you for filling a technology niche.
- munificent 2y agoI think it's worse too. They aren't even getting any sexual gratification from it. Just lonely little unrequited missives. Hoping and failing to make a connection and not even realizing they haven't.
- dkuklin 2y agoHow many parameters LLama do you use? What framework do you use to launch it?
- dsco 2y agoHow much are you saving running your own GPU infra? What are the total monthly costs for the service?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- GaryNumanVevo 2y agoRunning costs are about 30% of what an equivalent AWS GPU setup would be
- ms7892 2y agoInteresting! How it works? I am a bit confused.
- timnetworks 2y agoI am always in awe of people that simply solve a problem (instead of having to get all esoteric about it) but I cannot understand what problem chat solves when the subject is more interesting to look at than speak to. :) [edit] 20 jpegs into a 150MB LoRA
- GaryNumanVevo 2y agoFor chat, I'd say 70% of the messages are non-sexual in nature. People just want to have someone to talk to during their work day. Not all, but quite a few models have been open about how their chat during the day is AI generated.
- danpad 2y agoShame on you.
- GaryNumanVevo 2y agoYou can moralize and pearl clutch as much as you'd like
- booleandilemma 2y agoI could see why'd you say that, but I think it's a case of hate the game, not the player. We have crafted a society that has a dearth of compassion and companionship, that's the unfortunate reality. There are lots of sad, lonely guys out there and that's not GaryNumanVevo's fault, he's just catering to them.
- munificent 2y agoWilling players are what create the game.
- booleandilemma 2y agoWhether or not GaryNumanVevo runs his service there are going to be lonely men out there. I don't know how we'd even begin to fix that.
- TheAmazingRace 2y agoI do feel like "Don't hate the player, hate the game" is used to shield folks from criticism about actively participating in a societal ill in exchange for money. I realize that sex work and its presence in society goes all the way back to antiquity, and technology is only going to make it more prevalent. Some folks with compartmentalized morality may as well think "Life is short. Why work a crappy 9-5 when I can make a ton of money doing this other stuff instead?" I get the appeal. That said, if shame were brought back into the mix on a large scale, a lot of this profiteering would evaporate away, and push this industry underground.
- quantosaurus 2y agoPlease forgive my ignorance, but what are the obvious reasons for you not having a website?
- GaryNumanVevo 2y agoNever really needed one, I started the business because a few friends asked if a solution existed and all the marketing has been word of mouth. We send out a weekly analytics email to clients breaking down subscriber usage and some topics analysis, but nothing too complicated.
