What is a new thing, a new something that you have recently gotten into, or that you have been a long time participant in, that you find very entertaining and fun and time consuming and distracting?

What things would we need to purchase to get into that thing?

How did you get into that thing?

    Haters gonna hate, but buying hardware capable of running my own offline AI has been my best money per hour investment ever. However, I got into it after reading all of Asimov’s robots stuff, after an avid interest in compute hardware, and after having followed a few AI safety/general researchers. I got into it for customised learning, but that quickly expanded into many other explorations. Particularly I have advanced techniques for exploring AI thinking structures that are a lot of fun to play with. I play with images, video, 3d modeling, writing, agents, chat, roleplaying, and training.

      I love doing AI prompt engineering, so I get it big time. In my case, though, I just do anime-style imaging with SDXL, IL, and SD 1.5 models. I use a website for my RP desires (not one with age verification, different topic for a different time), however, but I’m decent at prompt engineering, though.

          That’s clearly something you researched deeply, and I can’t blame you for that. That’s way over my head in some parts, likely because I don’t understand it as much.

          Wait, so are you saying there are living entities that are named after the Greek Gods in your AI model? What’s the Queen of Hearts?

              I’m not really sure what you’re saying if I’m being honest mate! That image the model generated, what did you type to generate it? “Woman face chromatic lighting?” But without any vowels? I’m not sure I understand why not having vowels is significant here, isn’t that just typo correction?
