I would expect some kind of small artifacting getting reinforced in the process, if the approved output images aren’t perfect.

That is not how it works. That’s not how it works at all.
That should be easy on windows, but user permissions might also be enough for whatever it does.
I guess it’s just normalized.
That’s a lot of money they have stolen there.
This looks more like classic spambots than AI.
The thought was that it’d be closer to that, than the 12 times larger suggestion.
And yeah, I was definitely only taking hosting costs into account, because every instance is maintained by volunteers. I was also only thinking about large instances that benefit from economies scale and smarter management.
I took a quick glance at that thread, will have a more thorough pass later.
with more than $1-2 per year. ;)
More than my own share for sure, regardless of the result of the other argument.
why don’t you wish that everyone did the same?
I do. But a paywall adds a considerable barrier to entry.
Well, at this point I would like to point out that I religiously avoid paying anything to hostile services, and that I do support the small independent instance I’m on.
Well, I guess it’s priorities. Destroying Big Tech would be pretty nice, but I’m really just here for the community.
Per user? There are instances running on like $10/mo virtual servers with maybe the same amount spent on storage.
I actually kind of enjoy the “scrappy diy effort niche” thing.
I think a dollar or two per year would suffice if all users paid it.
Spambot
If I hqve to watch a black screen, so be it. Better a moment of peace than an ad.
Some users joked that they would rather see a black screen than an ad.
This wasn’t a joke.
I’m guessing these are all just very recent.
No. But it’s also not like I get 20 constantly, it was just the worst I’ve seen. Usually it’s 2 to 5, I think.
I assume they’re just collecting data on how many are users willing to do.
They knew I was committing crimes with my adblocker.
they wanted you to do two or three and that’s absurd
Yea how about 20
Didn’t think of that, good point.
The inbreeding could also affect larger decisions in sneaky ways, like how it wants to compose the image. It would be bad if the generator started to exaggerate and repeat some weird ai tropes.
