That line is actually a quote from “Red” Emma Goldman.

My point is, even a racist bridge has uses as a bridge. The solution is not to tear down the bridge, it’s to address the systematic racism. Likewise with GenAI tech, we are not involved in making it, nor do we promote that the way it was created was correct. We just say that people using it are not necessarily reinforcing the problem, anymore than a random pedestrian crossing that bridge would be reinforcing racism.

Yes, the way the tech was created and is being used, is problematic; an imperfect creation of a deeply flawed system. I’m not disputing that. I’m disputing that any and all uses of an imperfect creation are by necessity “fascist”

I feel the author routinelly conflates technology with technological implementations to make their point. For example, they conflate surveillance, with camera equipment and they conflate bridges, with city planning. What me and others are pointing out, is that we’re not hostile to GenAI as the technology (like cameras, bridges) but we’re absolutely against the popular (i.e. corporate) GenAI implementations.

I feel there’s no harm whatsoever to use GenAI to personal gratification. Games, Porn, Shortcuts on boring but known tasks etc. But there’s absolutely harm to using corporate AI to do so, and there’s absolutely harm in using it for purposes outside of it (facts, propaganda, agents etc)

And yes, any technology built in capitalist systems, will be inevitably corrupted from its inception from those systems. This is not exclusive to GenAI as a technology however.

We don’t consider that.

Anarchist/Environmentalists get debanked: I sleep.

Epstein-club child-rapist billionaires get the slightest inconvenience: Real Shit.

I’m the exact opposite. I love services recommending new artists and songs I would have never stumbled into on my own

Hear hear! I love me the brainz projects. Their player is a bit buggy still but so so good to avoid being locked in

It’s free, but you need to be contributing models and stuff to get a lot of usage, although the monthly free amount is plenty for basic usage

The bambulabs generator, particularly with the hunuan 3.0 model is really good. I’m using it for custom boardgame minis.

WTF is a “goon-coder” lol :D

I haven’t had good experiences with HN myself, even when I was simply trying to post about the AI Horde.

No worries, just wanted to point out we’re always happy to collaborate with other cool FOSS projects.

Very impressive. The only mistake on the third one is that the kudos are actually transferrable (i.e. “tradable”), but we forbid exchanges for monetary rewards.

Disclaimer: I’m the lead developer for the AI Horde. I also like you’ve achieved here and would be interesting if we can promote this usage via the AI Horde in some way. If you can think of some integration or collaboration we could do, hit me up!

PS: While the OpenAI API is technically working, we still prefer people to use our own API as it’s much more powerful (allowing people to use multiple models, filter workers, tweak more vars) and so on. If you would support our native API, I’d be happy to add a link to your software in our frontpage in the integrations area for LLMs.

In a nutshell: Local-LLMs, crowdsourced at scale.

Any chance you can also make it compatible with AI Horde?

Lol at all the companies who got rugpulled again because they trusted Zuck’s promises. Get rekt bozos.

Trust me, Luxembourgers are worse. Germans have decent public transport in their metropolitan areas. Luxembourg otoh is more like US suburbia.

Don’t assume everyone replying in a way you don’t agree with lives in the US. I am speaking from experience living in the Luxembourg/Germany area…

Even Germans take vacation to visit relatives and vacation homes. A range like that easily doubles a 200Km drive’s travel time.

It’s good if you don’t long-distance travel by car, or if you use it as a secondary car for work commutes. Then it’s perfect.

And terrible range. Advertises 300Km per charge. You’re lucky if you get 200

Ye it’s a complete fraud. Glad I switched projectors tbh

Ah thanks for the tip. I was able to find lamps and cradles together for 100 Eur but I never thought to look for just the lamp anymore. I was stopped buying lamps when I realized I could buy a new projector for the same price as my optoma lamp after like 8 years of having it. Unfortunately those projectors don’t seem to be made to allow for lamp switching.

Out of the curiosity I checked for my old optoma hd28dse lamp as you suggested and it’s around 60 without the cradle.
