Hi everyone
I'm so so sorry to do this, but I've been unable to find any work and my finances have become a very heavy burden that I am struggling greatly with and it's having knock on effects with my physical health. Anything helps, even if it's just a repost:

If an artist tells you they trained their own GenAI, they're lying to you. It takes billions of pairs and hundreds of thousands of dollars in compute time to generate even the dumbest model.
What they're doing is taking an existing model -- trained on stolen work -- and training it on their work.

crunch in games is reckless, it’s running a car without oil or care, watching sparks fly and smoke billow and going “that’s what maximum efficiency sounds like, when parts fail I’ll replace them knowing I squeezed 110% from them”
except the parts are people so the driver is evil as well as stupid

This part is REALLY insidious, there is not a functioning commercially viable LLM out there that is not trained on Laion, a data set that scraped the entirety of reddit, artstation and a thousand other places. "Ethically trained LLMs" are a total fiction/scam
