The input to your JPEG compressor is an image that someone/something created, and the goal of your compressor is to replicate its input as closely as possible. It doesn't create new data, it merely encodes pre-existent data. The i

I have an unreleased game that contains thousands of procedurally generated 3d models, textures and sounds. I've worked for years on those algorithms; they are my brushes and my paint. So when (if) I release that game, anyone can just

I've coded dozens of procedural asset/"art" generators. It's really surprising to me that, apparently, the output of my creative work (i.e. the novel algorithms) is not protected by copyright.

I've had a lot of fun running generative AI, and continue to do so. It's a lot more fun than paying attention to, or talking to shitty trolls like you.

Oh look, someone has managed to mention Kagi casually on an unrelated post at HN; that doesn't happen very often.

It's gotta be an exceptionally awesome video to beat written text though. I'll take mediocre text over good video any day.

It's basically the same thing. You use a texture atlas because switching textures is expensive. We do have a better alternative now called array texture, but texture atlases are still a thing today on limited hardware for performance r

Damn it, I thought I was a miserable prick. It's statistically likely that I'm older than you; just not as bitter yet. I am optimistic and cheerful considering the mind-blowing advancements in generative AI. Given my good fortune

Well, I hope no one will listen to you and your Luddite friends because generative AI is amazing and one of the best things humans have created in my lifetime. Take all the available data and make amazing and fun things with it! That's

OP asked a specific question though. FWIW, learning from copyrighted data should not be a copyright violation. This applies equally to both humans and machines. I see no reason to differentiate.

Dear ImGui is for development/debug tools, not an UI for the end-user. It's great for small projects as long as you don't care about accessibility, or proper keyboard support, or adherence to standard UI conventions, or suppo

I have a similar setup: I'm running a Discord bot for family and friends that can do image generation. It's a 6-core AMD EPYC VPS with no GPU. By using a SD 1.5 Latent Consistency Model (LCM) it generates an image in 3 steps or fe

Yeah, the mainstream stuff that you get to use while subjected to heavy surveillance and censorship is about the same. There's a whole universe underneath that, with no restrictions and basically unlimited creativity, if you have the r

SD 1.5, on the the other hand, with the right checkpoints generates flawless human bodies. Older tech, much better results. Can finetuning fix this?
