  • Of course, a tool, yet this tool is not deterministic. The algorithms output differs with every single iteration due to the feedback system “training it”. People using such a tool do always hope or pray to all Gods for the next output will be that one and pay a price for every iteration.
    And not to mention that this sorrowful tool is built on awfully stolen actual art, work, effort of now defaced/unknown artists/human…

    The camera case is not an old debate, almost everyone I conversate on LLMs mentions, since there’s nothing to debate on, I believe.

    A camera only captures what it objectively senses, stores it in damaged/discrete sampled format, with no mind nor life experience. Its output normally has an objectified generic value, and is utterly rarely interesting if no fair human effort was involved in it at all.
    This tool is at least deterministic, and thus incomparable to LLMs.

    An Artist both captures and expresses an image, previously seen, heard, subjectively sensed, or described even, with an infinitely unique mind and life experience, which is invaluably precious. Such a work is what another human may learn from realizing its idea, shapes, shades, colors, attitudes, perspectives, viewpoints etc., in the infinitely magnificent world…





  • Holy smokes… Freaking awesome!
    Of course… Programming is normally a human art…
    Programming is of human for human to automate machines…
    It is as any of people to be left in the infinite history, to learn from and improve accountably, too…

    Thank you very much for the marvel… art you do…

    There’s the following book I recall on the subject that is an essential for every accountable, astute, and respectful developer, artist, I believe.

    …a computer language is not just a way of getting a computer to perform operations but rather that it is a novel formal medium for expressing ideas about methodology. Thus, programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.

    …the essential material to be addressed by a subject at this level is not the syntax of particular programming-language constructs, nor clever algorithms for computing particular functions efficiently, nor even the mathematical analysis of algorithms and the foundations of computing, but rather the techniques used to control the intellectual complexity of large software systems.

    Our traffic with the subject matter of this book involves us with three foci of phenomena: the human mind, collections of computer programs, and the computer.

    Every computer program is a model, hatched in the mind, of a real or mental process. These processes, arising from human experience and thought, are huge in number, intricate in detail, and at any time only partially understood.

    They are modeled to our permanent satisfaction rarely by our computer programs. Thus even though our programs are carefully handcrafted discrete collections of symbols, mosaics of interlocking functions, they continually evolve: we change them as our perception of the model deepens, enlarges, generalizes until the model ultimately attains a metastable place within still another model with which we struggle.

    The source of the exhilaration associated with computer programming is the continual unfolding within the mind and on the computer of mechanisms expressed as programs and the explosion of perception they generate.

    If art interprets our dreams, the computer executes them in the guise of programs!

  • Wonderful day!

    May I ask how did you install these programs?

    For example, AnyDesk. The underlying service might be installed from the official repository DEB package.
    As we may see, in the following package:
    - https://deb.anydesk.com/pool/main/a/anydesk/anydesk_8.0.4_amd64.deb

    There’s a standard “postinst” script inside that installs the service:

    "postinst" preview
    #!/bin/bash
    
    set -e
    
    command_exists()
    {
            command -v "$1" > /dev/null 2>&1
    }
    
    if [ "$1" = configure ]; then
    
            INITSYS=$(ls -al /proc/1/exe | awk -F' ' '{print $NF}' | awk -F'/' '{print $NF}')
    
            if [ "systemd" == "$INITSYS" ]; then
                    if [ -e /etc/systemd/system/anydesk.service ]; then
                            rm /etc/systemd/system/anydesk.service
                    fi
                    cp /usr/share/anydesk/files/systemd/anydesk.service /etc/systemd/system/anydesk.service
                    systemctl daemon-reload
                    deb-systemd-invoke enable anydesk
                    deb-systemd-invoke start anydesk
            elif [ "init" == "$INITSYS" ]; then
                    if [ -e /etc/init.d/anydesk ]; then
                            rm /etc/init.d/anydesk
                    fi
                    chmod +x /usr/share/anydesk/files/init/anydesk
                    ln -s /usr/share/anydesk/files/init/anydesk /etc/init.d/anydesk
                    update-rc.d anydesk defaults
                    invoke-rc.d anydesk start
            fi
    
            command_exists update-menus && update-menus
            command_exists update-desktop-database && update-desktop-database
            command_exists xdg-desktop-menu && xdg-desktop-menu forceupdate
    fi
    

    Since the script is copied into “system” path (not the User’s “/etc/systemd/user/*”), it is executed by “root” by default, unless specifically specified in the service itself (e.g., directive “User=”).

    Just in case, “enabling” in marvelous Systemd is merely a symlink added to the directory the OS probes on boot. You should see the symlink location on service '(dis-)enabling".


  • Because it’s one of the most magnificent and heartfelt appreciated Community with actually empathetic and genuine Human People…
    Those who realize the miraculous life, the authentic purpose, and believe in effort, human, and love…

    Thank you… dear “Fuck AI” Community Members, and everyone interested, heartfelt… for the marvel… Art you do…

    Please do stay safe, may your duties and projects succeed and fanfare, and may You have success, stability, and peace…

    Thank you… of course… absolutely…

    Lifeless, awful, void-empty “AI” or LLM-generated sorrow/noise has no value or authorship, is based on stolen art, human effort of now unknown people…
    Not a single soul will ever be responsible for its unsupervised nor “relatively” nonsense output, I believe…

    What has a purpose/experience, or actually important value is… your time and work, which is always invaluably priceless… always a miracle to cherish and learn from…

    Regarding the second panel, “Make Ugly Things”, well, though some are making it so others may call it “ugly” but practice will always improve it to the point it will be called “perfect”, I believe.

    For example, an artist I noticed recently, huapi67, is known for crafting ineffably magnificent artworks with bare hands and napkins/cloth on plain material canvas…

  • Wonderful day!

    …I hate linux community…

    Source: <lemmy.world/post/50749465>

    It shows, unfortunately. And that means you hate me and many ineffably magnificent people I know… but for what?

    If you haven’t still reported/updated the case yourself, please consider not participating in the Community so much, too, just to:

    - Preserve your mental health;
    - Have more time for improving it yourself;

    …instead of complaining on public on people, developers, artists behind their back, who’ve been reifying it all for years an almost no monetary support, investing their invaluably precious human life time…


    If not, or you still believe in effort, accountability, art, please do consider collecting more likely supportive logs/details and share it in the related issues, if possible.

    Meanwhile, I wish you safety, stability, and peace.




  • To have it fair, there are peaceful online video-games, or Artworks, too, I believe, and I’ve been contributing and participating in one ineffably magnificent miracle… The Elder Scrolls Online… since 2016…
    I have already more than 240,000 screenshots and hundreds of video recorded for all the years, or more…
    Currently, I’m also maintaining a few add-ons at ESOUI (to dim or hide certain GUI elements only).

    Yet, indeed, usually, a single-player Artworks allow you to actually hear more, see more, notice more… to actually listen to the Universe adventured… where no fear exists to be suddenly disconnected or interrupted…


    Once this city pulsed with energy. It was dirty and dangerous, but alive and wonderful. Now it’s something else. The changes came slowly at first. Most didn’t notice, or didn’t care. They chose a comfortable life. Some didn’t.

    ~ Mirror’s Edge

    Order. Purpose. Direction. No more than that. It’s your lot that means to confound with this nonsense talk of freedom. Time was, the Assassins professed a far more sensible goal, that of peace.

    ~ Assassin’s Creed

    It’s true that our organization stretches back to the Order of the Assassins, or Hashishim, but not in the way you might imagine. The order hasn’t so much lasted as been continually revived… It’s the Idea that has lasted. The System. Or the Desire, every thinking person’s desire to give the world some decent organization.

    ~ Deus Ex

    There are no choices, nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask “why me?” and “what if?”. When you look back, see the branches, like a pruned Bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn’t be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.
