It’s not the modding that’s the issue. It’s the fact that they were selling it.

A monopoly is defined as being the only seller

Not according to the FTC. Legal monopolies do exist and can form without anticompetitive tactics.

And this is one of those communities.

It could totally be a hardware issue. I’ve seen something similar happen because the temperature cycles caused the RAM to wiggle out of the slot a bit, but it wasn’t far enough to cause issues until the stick heated up and got pushed a little further out.

I don’t think it’s likely to be a hardware issue unless it’s a faulty drive, but I can’t rule out other components until I can see some errors.

I feel like it’s unlikely to be a hardware issue unless the drive Proxmox is on is dying. SMART is fine, but it’s on an SSD that’s nearly 15 years old, so it very well might be the cause. I need to migrate it to one of my nvme disks eventually.

But, I can boot into the Windows physical disk just fine (instead of booting into Proxmox and running it as a VM). Same with a live ISO on USB.

The fact that it’s perfectly stable after I do get it to boot is why I’m chasing down a software issue first. I also don’t want to think about the cost of having to replace hardware yet. But I’m definitely not ruling it out completely.

I’m going to take the advice of another commenter and turn off quiet in grub so I can get a better look at what’s actually going on under the hood.

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I made so many changes following different guides on GPU passthrough on an LXC with a virtual display (never worked) that I’m tempted to rebuild Proxmox from scratch.

People you fire, are free to compete.

That’s why non-compete clauses are popular.

Same here. Plus I like to play casual games, so my gaming rig is in the living room for my wife.

They’ll almost certainly settle in small claims. It costs more to get the attorneys involved than the max scc judgement.

The biggest barrier to filing in small claims is the time investment. Depending on location it’s only like $100.

So your entire argument is semantics.

Gen AI does more than just replicating existing works. You’re not going to get the same result with the same prompt; each result will be unique.

And I’d argue that the person writing the prompt is the one providing the inspiration to get the software to express what’s in their head.

How exactly is a generated image not novel? You’re not going to get the same image twice with the same prompt. Everything it generates will be original. It’s not like they’re just providing you with an existing image.

And still the argument I’m hearing is that it’s fine for humans to use artistic works without consent or credit just because it’s a human doing it.

Just because the underlying processes are different doesn’t mean the two are functionally different.

I also think it’s funny because I’m betting the Venn diagram of people who think AI using publicly available artwork to train on is bad and people who think piracy is good is almost a single circle.

I never claimed that Gen AI has consciousness, or that what they produce has emotions behind it, so I’m not sure why you’re focusing on that.

I’m specifically talking about the argument that AI is bad because trains on copyrighted material without consent from the artist, which is functionally no different than humans doing the exact same thing.

This isn’t me defending AI, this is me saying this one specific argument against it is stupid. Because even if artificial consciousness was a thing, it would still have to be trained on the same data.

And?

Alrighty, so generative AI works by giving it training data and it transforms that data and then generates something based on a prompt and how that prompt is related to the training data it has.

That’s not functionally different from how commissioned human artists work. They train on publicly available works, their brain transforms and stores that data and uses it to generate a work based on a prompt. They even often directly use a reference work to generate their own without permission from the original artist.

Like I said, there are tons of valid criticisms against Gen AI, but this criticism just boils down to “AI bad because it’s not a human exploiting other’s work.”

And all of this is ignoring the fact that ethically trained Gen AI models exist.

Right, because computers don’t use silicone.

But Gen AI is modeled after the way the brain works, so maybe you need to learn how it works before arguing against an accurate comparison.

Do human artists usually get consent before training on content freely available on the Internet?

There are plenty of reasons to hate on AI, but this reason is just being pissed that a silicon brain did it instead of a carbon one.

I’m betting GPUs will also be increasing in price (over the increase caused by AI data centers) due to RAM as well.

I have my router powering my pi, so rebooting the router will reboot the DNS server.

And also exactly how copyright licensing has always worked.

I don’t think that’s their main purpose. Parsing resumes is a major challenge because basically every one of them has different formatting.

Having you enter the information is for candidate screening by HR, and the resume is for the hiring manager to use in the interview.
