Spent my morning taking old computer parts out of storage and cleaning them up in preparation for building a PC. Waiting on some new parts delivering today!

The pc isn’t for me. Building it for someone in my family. The specs are

9700X 8 core cpu
32GB RAM
1TB SSD
RTX 4080
1000W PSU
1440p 144hz monitor

I’m giving him everything except the CPU, motherboard, RAM and SSD. Those are brand new parts. It’s gonna be his first PC

How is your exercise program developing

I lost mine over Christmas and have to start again

It's fascinating to me how these absolute madmen come up with even more suggestive performances time and time again. Absolutely in love with this new group, song is a banger and the girls are 10/10.

Spoiler

Sometimes it takes me a while to know which girls to look out for in a group, not this time. Had my eyes set on 3 on them within like 10 minutes lmao. 2025 is gonna be good, and I genuinely mean that. To put things in perspective: A group like that only debuts every 7, maybe 10 years.

I've started going since last week but it's all very lackluster. To be completely honoust I'm currently not sure what to think about "hitting the gym" especially relative to I used to feel about it.

Don't know if you've read my earlier post but I've got inflammation in my shoulder and just not having FUN.

No motivation at all. So I have to insert discipline to do the exercises that'll hopefully make my returning cronic pain dissipate.

Maybe in time (in which severe negative self image and insecurity plays a part) the fun comes back.

I've found a lot of joy and fulfillment in martial arts in the last 8 months though.

So, idealistic, I'd join a gym for martial arts (still deciding) and do my gym exercises for said reasons above.

Just a matter of pushing through my anxiety and fear and go for it


How about yourself Art? Thanks for asking brother, appreciate that <3

pc parts not coming until later this afternoon. i'll leave building the PC until tomorrow. got another week or so to build it so no rush.

I need to get back into a gym rhythm, but my ADHD brain just finds it too tough and demotivating, especially when my routine is constantly changing up from traveling and stuff.

I haven’t been home in two weeks, and I’m about to spend another two weeks in NorCal in mid March. So my default just ends up being that I don’t go to the gym. Even though I’m still paying for that membership

interesting, I'm not following the subject, so I didn't know there was a new shiny thing to test. I had SD running locally a couple months or whatever ago and while I certainly saw its allure, I grew bored of it quickly, after downloading some trained models or whatever from some questionable sites. Maybe I'll give this a shot as well, it's always interesting to see where the tech currently is at, so thanks for bringing it up.

yeah last time i messed about with AI it was stable diffusion. seems like it's dated now. comfyui is quite confusing to use. it will take time to learn. i thought i could just drop the model into the folder and that was it but i needed to download some other files to get it working. i still have a lot of catching up and learning to do.

this is what i got. doesn't look like her. might need a lora? or something else i don't know.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

this is what the UI looks like. i have no idea what any of it means except the model and prompt

you spent how much on gpus and she's wearing clothes. you got ripped off man.

don't worry. i'm investigating this.

the whole ai/deepfake stuff is so uber creepy. I know photoshop has been around for a while and prior to that people have just been cutting up pictures and doctoring them together that way, and with 3d modelling we're kinda reverse engineering that process anyway. But still, AI makes it so obscenly easy and quick to access. And obviously, the tech will only improve.

And there just isn't a good solution for how to deal with this. This is really one thing pandora's box should've stayed closed on, generative AI for image creation. But obviously that was never going to happen. I have a feeling this will be, in many ways, simply a net negative.

Pointless. If it's not real, that would take all the fun out of it.

There are actually some "ai kpop" idols. It's basically like vtubers I think. The one I know of is actually a boy group, and afaik they are decently successfull. It's funny sometimes because we don't see this as much in mainstream gaming, but women are absolutely as degenerate as we are. The stuff I read in regards to boy groups from women posted on reddit/twitter puts even me absolutely to shame.

yeah sadly that kinda stuff is starting to become a grim reality in the kpop space. There's people on TikTok using stuff like ElevenLabs to fake voices of idols and create like fake talk show content for 50k likes, and obviously there's lots of fake images going around as well. The industry actually embracing that out of their retarded greed doesn't exactly send a resounding message either.

So I'm not exactly thrilled about how that has been going.

btw, ElevenLabs is fascinating, that shit truly blew my mind. More than LLMs or any of that stuff. When there was that free period last year (or the year prior?) and 4chan went wild with it it was both amazingly hilarious as well as truly shocking.

i haven't used elevenlabs but i did use another thing. something tortoise... i tried to recreate my own voice but it didn't work too well. might download it again and see if it's any better.

but yeah it's scary what AI can do. i'm just messing about with it for fun. might use it to create some artwork for my card game (if i can ever be bothered to work on it) since i can't draw for shit lol.
