No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Is there any computer program with AI capabilities (the generative ones seen in ChatGPT; onlineText-to-Picture generators, etc.) that is actually standalone? i.e. able to run in a fully offline environment.

As far as I understand, the most popular AI technology rn consists of a bunch of matrix algebra, convolutions and parallel processing of many low-precision floating-point numbers, which works because statistics and absurdly huge datasets. So if any such program existed, how would it even have a reasonable storage size if it needs the dataset?

There is tons of "standalone" software that you can run on your own PC

  • For Text generation, the easiest way is to get GPT4All package which allows you to run text generation model in CPU on your own PC

  • For image generation, you can try to get Easy difusion package which is an easy to use stable diffusion package, then if you like-it, time to try the "comfyUI"

You can check [email protected] and [email protected] for some more information

I’ve wanted to try these out for shits and giggles - what would I expect with a 3090, is it going to take a long time to make some shitposts?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

3090s are ideal because the most important factor is vram, and those are at the top of the plateau for vram until you get into absurdly expensive server hardware. Expect around 3 seconds for generating a 512x512 image or 4 words per second generating text at around GPT 3.5 quality.

With SD 1.5 my old GTX 970was doing fine (30 second per image) I upgraded to a Radeon 7060 and with SDXL get like 4 images in these 30 seconds (but sometimes crash my Pac when loading a model)

I did a bunch of image generation on my 3080 and it felt extremely fast. Enough that I was able to set it up as a shared node in one of those image generation nets and it outperformed most other people in the net.

You mean like AI Horde?
