Why was this blog removed?

I almost got into big trouble at school for "hacking a teachers email". I guessed their email address (they were systematically generated) and sent an email. It's true you can get into trouble for this, but we need to all take it upon ourselves to make sure this doesn't happen. If this guy got into trouble I would hope every software engineer would be up in arms defending them.

It’s a big field!

But if you’re in a few discords and a bunch of subreddits, you’re doing it right.

The most interesting stuff happens in GitHub PR’s, but you have to know where to look. Kohya’s misnamed SD3 branch has a ton of good flux hints, for example. It’s also where furkan gets pretty much all his content, before it gets paywalled.

Unfortunately, unless you participate full-time it’s hard to follow along. But if you really dig in and learn to modify your tooling (Comfy, kohya etc), you’ll start to come across some really impressive people who are all self-taught, and very accessible.

It’s totally possible to work your way up to the frontier with a few months of hacking. (And disposable income for GPU time.)

And the overlap between image AI’s and LLM’s is actually pretty great since they’re all transformers under the hood.

Civit, in my experience, is a good source for weights but most of the guides are written by people without much actual experience.

If you haven’t already, use tensorflow or wandb to get an intuitive understanding of your training parameters. It’s very easy to connect your tools to these services. This is by far the most helpful thing I’ve done, and something I really regret not doing sooner.

i was not the original retail customer, it was a phone used by a small business that I had owned, the employees were not good about keeping track of stuff like that, they'd use their own personal deets to sign up for business things all the time.

my point was that there was not "official" procedure to verify, I told him the story, he believed me, and went in the back and reset the password or something. They have the capability if they want to. He was a manager I think, and I didn't get to him through the reservations queue, I just walked up to the counter to find out if this was the place I should go, and after I asked my question he took an interest and solved the problem for me.

That's what happened with Scarlett Johanssen's voice in the OpenAI thing, right? Or at least I think it was a claim at the time.

In gamedev, the only thing that matters, once you have a good product is how to market it. Without exposure your project is dead, no matter the quality of it.

Who will talk/write about it and for how much? Yters have steep pricing, and they usually don't give a F about your project.

That's why Steam and other similar platforms are a trap. And yet, people protect/love them, like it's the 8th wonder of the world.
