Wow thank you for this meme. The comments in the post above this one were absolute dog shit, and I seriously was on the verge of engaging with them. I didn’t engage. Yayyyy

Wtf is BoingBoing.net lmao

Ugh

No problem <3

Basically a democratic institution where the members are the consumers.

Why would a multilingual crew even exist? Wouldn’t an EU armed force be just like NATO without the US? Regiments and groups specific to countries instead of regiments involving multiple countries.

Why not consumer coop instead?

Don’t Europeans know basic English? Uk, basic enough to exchange coordinates and stuff? I doubt u would need to have a large enough vocabulary for this.

The World wars for example were fought together in a time where English competency wasn’t as high as it is today.

CLOSE??? Trump won, friend. It’s over. It’s lost

It’s the same here, except it’s tankies.

They think North Korea is communist utopia

Oh… :(

Is this real? If yes, then congrats!!!

If it’s what the image says, then I’m sorry…

(Sorry, I’m just confused if you got into college or into a mental institution)

Ok, good luck on your project. We’ll talk when any given peertube project (based on the donation based funding model alone) reaches break even.

I swear I’ve reviewed the finances about this a million times over. Funding models in their current form just don’t work. Content creators getting free hosting from YouTube with huge audiences are struggling to keep themselves afloat. But whatever, good luck on your project I suppose. We really need YouTube’s monopoly to end, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Sure! Remember though, that you are funding this project using your own money. How much does your server cost? How much does the electricity to run your server cost? You would need Gbps speed internet. How much does that cost?

You would be funding this out of your own pocket. Thank you for doing that! Would there be a thousand more people willing to do this? What happens if you lose your job? What happens to the server?

As you can see, this is not a technological issue, but a funding one. If you can generate funding for this somehow, you have a very viable model! IF you can find the funding.

I am saying that funding this would be difficult. I see people just yapping about FOSS, but not funding it when the time comes.

Naah I thought about this before and came to the conclusion that this isn’t that bright of an idea. Here’s why.

Why’s video hosting so expensive in the first place? Because it needs a lot of computational power, storage and bandwidth. All three things that a mobile phone does not have. If you make your client’s mobile phone do this stuff, then you’re going to slow down their phone, make it heat up more, make it degrade faster (because it would be drawing power from the battery) and take up a huge chunk of their bandwidth.

Think of how video calls drain battery really fast. It’s just shifting the costs of hosting from the hosting side to the consumer side while making the entire operation a lot more complicated and a lot more inefficient.

Depends on how you look at it. These models weren’t trained in a vacuum. They were trained on data generated by humans. They are the amalgamation of all human art throughout human history. They are a reflection of us, the way a child is a reflection of their parents.

That being said, I am very excited for art generated by collaboration between humans and these models. I for one would love Castle Swimmer (a webcomic) to be turned into an animation. Currently, no one will fund any such project. With video gen models however, I’m very positive we would get to see this.

The original author’s story is still there. Her characters are there, her dialogues are there. They’re just brought to life visually. I still find a lot of humanity in this.

I’m really skeptical of its success primarily due to the immense costs of hosting video. Peertube exists already, and isn’t nearly as successful as Mastodon/Lemmy primarily due to its hosting costs.

Well, you don’t get that many basements in walkable cities.
