    @lain @WandererUber Since you just admitted that you do have the patience for point-and-click, a really obscure but pretty-good-for-a-videogame-story-one is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1360390/Cats_and_the_Other_Lives/

    It tries to be (and succeeds to a surprising degree) a Robert Altman style ensemble drama, but the player character is the house cat, so you experience the story entirely by just being in the room with the human cast by accident, just doing cat things.

    @lain @WandererUber I loved the demo, it's been sitting near the top of my wishlist for a while now

    @lain @WandererUber I just made peace with the fact that really the best you can hope for in a video game story is that it doesn't clash too heavily with the gameplay and succeeds in establishing a vibe.

    The absolute peak achievements in video game stories (outside of interactive fiction) are on the level of middling Hollywood scripts or YA fiction, or graphic novels. I'm okay with that, if the gameplay makes up for it, or if the story is a mystery and the gameplay (or part of the gameplay) is to figure it all out by exploring interesting locations - and I'm not able to accurately guess where it's all going well before the credits roll (but it isn't random nonsense either).

    @lain @WandererUber @pettanko The appeal of a Kan Gao game is to see if it manages to successfully tearjerk you despite all the RPG-maker nonsense and playtime padding

    > These local models are still proprietary and you have no control over them.

    Simply not true. Many many models out there (and not just academic, irrelevant models, I mean models that people actually use) are licensed freely (Apache 2.0 or MIT are popular licenses) and that includes the parameters, i.e. all those numbers in the gigabytes-large .safetensors file that you download and then stuff into your GPU's VRAM. The software used for inferencing and (additional) training with these models is also freely licensed.

    What's true is that, more often (but not always!) the training data used to produce those parameters is proprietary and/or undisclosed. The computing power required to train a model *completely from scratch* is also prohibitively time-consuming and/or expensive for any single user with consumer hardware.

    So it's easy to assume that the big blob file used for inferencing is completely opaque and immutable, regardless of licensing, and effectively people are still using a black box, but that's not true - just like an executable binary program isn't really a black box. It's on your computer, you can look at the binary, you can patch it, you can disassemble it, you can run it in a debugger, you can run it in a sandbox, you can inject your own code into it, etc.

    You can do a lot of similar things with models on your computer, like training Low-Rank Adaptations for these models using small datasets on consumer hardware to adapt and modify the output of the model, or modify the parameters directly to modify the output of a model. People routinely do both of these things to teach models new tricks (example: Generate images of things that the base model does not know about) or to make the model do things the original creator trained it not to do (example: Do ERP or use politically incorrect language).

      Anyway. This is just an opportunity for me to say that one perk of running a server full of bots that are followed by 10.7k+ people from 1.3k servers is that if you're eg. not cool with my trans homies, you can say goodbye to live views from the South Pole and such. With me, you always have a choice!

    @silverpill @p JFC, a few weeks ago I was joking "Countdown to first public server on the Fediverse with Persona-provided age verification", and now I'm finding out some jokers tried to get endorsement for servers running every user-uploaded image by §$#!§-ing PhotoDNA two years ago already. I'm reeling, honestly.

    @djsumdog It's the (pretty funny) court drama of a club of roughly a dozen women who are keeping Australian courts and the Australian Human Rights Commission busy with their goal of wanting to hold "lesbian-only" events.

    @lain Literally every dodgy pixel in that image was added by a "traditional" tool (paint.NET algorithmic filters, webp lossy compression).

    Haven't posted a home-made generated image in a while.

    This miniature of a tribal salamander warrior does not actually exist.

    Made on "pre-AI-Boom" hardware (nVidia RTX 2070, 8GB VRAM), with some (lazy-ass) manual post-processing (denoising, color-grading) in paint.NET.

    Got my deep discounted Christmas sweets at the shopping run early this morning, as planned. That's afternoon tea sorted until February, probably.
