Looking for a self hosting solution or some free alternatives for either chatgpt 4 or ideally sudowrite.

The latter does most of what I want it to do, but the free trial is super limiting and the paid tier is asking too much for not much of a word bump.

The former is only available with a sub but it requires way too much fiddling considering I'd be paying 20$ a month to do what I want but is an option. Sadly, I need gpt4 if I go that route and can't cruise on 3.5 for free.

I'm writing a novel and while I don't care about AI doing the actual writing for me, I do want something to help me organize my ideas or even brainstorm. gpt 3.5 just doesn't have the token bandwidth to do that. Sudowrite does an excellent job with it, but the pricing is stupid at 10$ for 30k words. I went through the 4k free trial just trying to figure out how it works.

I know there's a slew of self hosting chatbots but I haven't seen anyone use them for writing and searching huggingface is a pita.

Google bard could be an option but haven't found a way to jailbreak it and Claude is not available in my country.

Any ideas?

Next step in the saga, Sony buys off EA as a counter attack.

That's a leap if I ever saw one. I could ask the same question and substitute AI with god or aliens and I'd be ridiculed by the tech community and with good reason.

And you don't need to take it much further to fall into the holographic universe principle or the simulation hypothesis and for those there are big discussions to be had in science communities.

To be clear, nothing stops you or me, or anyone for that matter from assuming so, but down that road the only answer I can think of is that nothing matters and might as well lay down and die.

I went with Antennapod and it seems good so far. It couldn't find one of the podcasts I liked by name, but when I searched for category it showed up. The rest were all found. Thank you all.

Podcast app (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Is there an app (Foss preferably) that's good for podcasts? So far I use Spotify but it's ass backwards with playlists. I downloaded podverse but I can't find any of the three podcasts I listen to on Spotify.

I'd hazard a guess that most people down vote you not because you don't want to use steam or that you want to pirate, but rather because it's most likely something wrong with your setup and you can't be arsed to figure out what the problem is. Which might end up being a lot more serious than simply being unable to launch steam.

IMO, figure it out, get your system to work properly and then go pirate if that's what you prefer.

How are those emulation devices? I really want to buy that rg35xx but I think it'd really bother me trying to play say ps1 in such a small screen. And of course ds stuff wouldn't be that good considering the one small screen.

Not knowing what you're looking for, I can't help much. But I found a whole lot of art books on cgpeers and gfxpeers in the past. But registrations are closed now I think.

It's been a decade. And I made general assets like couches, tables, cloth simulations etc. I have no idea which missions used them since. But I can vouch for Springheel's, Bikerdude's, Grayman's and Obsttorte's missions. At least the ones before 2012. Haven't played it since, I should do it soon. But from the ones I know for a fact, Grayman and Dragofer used them often in his missions. And the latter made a pass on my old stuff a couple of years ago to fix/update them. And did an awesome job at it.

It was a great team to work with, especially Springheel, he had a lot of patience with me having to learn the tools they used and spamming him with questions. :)

Can't see the video right now, but considering the old thief games are some of my favorite games ever, I don't think I'd disagree much. Still haven't found a better stealth game, 23 years later. Deus ex can come real close in terms of quality stealth if you play ghost, but while encouraged, it's not the point of the game.

Meanwhile, 162 days and counting for dead space.

Doesn't make me want to buy it, without trying it out first, but saying hours to days for denuvo is..a joke really. Sure there were a couple of games that were cracked in a couple of days, but that's a handful of them in the last 6 years or so. Most take a long, long time.

It's not. Most of the time it's fine, but there have been cases in the past that they added their own DRM in the games.

Mine would be Anarchy Online. Still around, though FC has ran it to the ground and not too obscure, considering it used to be quite big before 2005ish, but almost nobody talks about it in EU and the few times they do is to comment on the dreadful launch.

But I doubt there's a game I've sunk more hours into, playing constantly from release up to 2011 and then on and off until last year. Eventually I figured out it's just nostalgia and it's not worth it anymore, the time, let alone the sub.

I remember when I was considered a contrarian for refusing to have a facebook account back in 2008 or twiter later on or instagram. How times have changed.

Skyblock changes (github.com)

So I wanted to give carpet skyadditions a try after watching a couple videos from Ilmango. However, while I agree with him about not using the Oak tree at the start, I really dislike the orange tint of Acacia. How would I go about changing it to say..spruce?

I know I can join in creative break the Oak down, plant and bonemeal a spruce and rejoin normally, however that messes up my advancements. Any way to reset them completely? Also, i see one of the first advancements is to get an oak log. Do I need a custom datapack to change it to spruce log?

Excuse the bad quality, trying to snap a photo of a crt is a Royal PITA.

Mednafen set for full accuracy with no scaling or anything to the crt. Next steps either a better crt, mister fpga or a modded ps1. Will take a while.
