Bruh, he has been doing nothing for years - with 15ai being down for so fucking long, and still earned like $8,000 each month.

Oh, is this the payment processor that won't ban you for selling NSFW that I heard about? Good project, anything that gives the middle finger to the Paypal Jew is good in my eyes, but I think he's going to face even steeper opposition if that's where he's planning to promote freedom. Our bignosed friends have that entire thing pretty much completely under Abrahamic control.

He is using Stripe as a payment processor. NSFW is very limited, so no fictional underage or anything that could be interpreted as non-consensual. Fillyrapists are the most marginalised group in existence again.

I don't have the same level of resentment or whatever as some people in this thread about this, really. I do wanna say though that I'm really sad to hear this; AI's one of my biggest hobbies and I've definitely leaned into it more because of the controversy surrounding it, it's only made it more funny to be a part of. Sad to see a fellow slopbro fall victim to the doom and gloom aspect of it, but I get feeling bad about all of the people afraid of it. As much fun as I have with the tech and the drama surrounding it there is still a part of me that wishes people didn't have to be afraid.

That being said, I do think this is kinda like stopping your hobby of making homemade fun vehicles just because a big corporation has started being really greedy and slimy about the cars they sell. Fun AI projects aren't the same thing as all of the worry about data centers and shit at the moment, and a lot of people seem to get it kinda twisted. Is what it is though, I'll miss 15.ai, was a foundational piece of pony culture. /ppp/ lost a real one today.

If you have around 10 GB of VRAM, it's entirely possible to use a local voice cloning model such as Fish Audio S2 to voice clone ponies.
I've had some success by taking the /ppp/ cleaned up voice clips and cloning off them.

>>43274114
Nothing. He'll probably "devote all his time" into the project, then leave it on hold for three years while he plays L4D and TF2, then revive it under a rebranding, only to kill it a month later.

Rinse and repeat!

There's this subgroup of /mlp/ who are vehemently jealous of his brilliance and success that every time 15 gets brought up here, they somehow always twist it around somehow and samefag all over the thread to make him look bad. It sounds retarded but it's actually true. They seriously have him living rent free in their heads, I've stumbled across VCs where the whole time they were trying to guess his annual salary.

Technically he isn't wrong, AI is, by principle collectivism where there isn't MY but OUR art, we put shapes and things in common for all to output infinite art. It's not MY voice it's OUR voice to use. Our guitar and synth, our stories. A.I isn't creating anything, we do.
>But my copyrights
Copyright is a prison, it prevents creativity. Fandoms violates copyrights for a socialized form and cannot be stopped plus your art is still there, see it like tax, you're not starving and people aren't either. You can learn to use AI too!
>I can't draw right, AI will exclude me
AI includes all art in their models, there is no bad art for it.
>My voice is mine, that's my identity!
Wrong, that's Applejack, Twilight and Pinkie not yours, I'm not sure if a voice can be copyrighted or any skilled imitator could be in trouble.

Live off-grid in unclaimed territory, that's the only place of freedom anymore.

Sadly, AI is going to be the ultimate tax collector. Once digital id and currency are established, AI will be used to micromanage what we're allowed to buy and sell. The true purpose of AI is control and surveillance. Making art and music are byproducts to keep the masses complacent. I love AI too and I've already accepted this reality. Trillions of dollars aren't being invested into AI for the good of the people, but I'll take what I can get.

He sucks at communicating, he randomly pulled the plug on the previous /mlp/ TF2 server with little indication and no attempt to provide the old server files to anyone.
The only hint that he might’ve “pulled the plug” was just 15 complaining about “personal life problems” in a private steam chat with one of the janitors.
It’s very easy to hate someone who sucks at communication, people say that he’s “good” or “noble”, but he absolutely sucks at letting people know what is going on, especially when you randomly pull the plug on a server that’s been up for years wordlessly, refuse to share files immediately after, then post on xitter about some new artfag market project.
There’s also speculation that AOOU (Any One Of Us) is 15.ai’s alt account on steam since they share same details (both computer science majors, both talk like a redditor, etc).
I hope this clears things up, the only reason /mlp/ tf2 isn’t dead yet is because someone hosted a alt server
>>
>>43275514
Money has little meaning in the modern world when you amass billions of it. It’s very easy to isolate your lifestyle in a rich neighborhood and forget the outside world exists.
Thus why we’ve seen the huge push to enforce AI surveillance as a half-ass way to “improve safety” when in reality most rich fags know that most people are complete morons and being able to have control over them like herding cats is useful. I absolutely despise identity verification being forced to tie everyone to everything, and it’s not sustainable to keep running if you want people to freely express themselves and have organic (not forced) interaction. The stage for forced inorganic attention seeking garbage was set with the release of shittok and further enshittifying of already poor “short form content”, to the point the next generation genuinely has no idea what it’s like to see something get organically popular, not forced into people’s feeds with “curated” algorithmic garbage and noise.
I dunno, social media companies themselves know they’re doing bad shit, which is why they refuse to show the top 100 posts on their platform, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, etc refuse to do that.

I seriously can't wait until something happens that will make everyone understand that the guy behind this project has an ego similar to that roach guy. For now he gets away with it because he's competent and his work is useful, but he is a terrible person. I usually see this shit and wonder how will they betray themselves. I envision some sort of ego trip crash out when the commission site flops financially or gets popular due to something he does not personally like. Don't get me wrong, I wish both the project and its leader the best, but people like that are walking time bombs.

>And it's pretty fucking obvious AOOU is not 15
They’re both computer science majors, and both speak like redditors. Just because AOOU is 15’s trolling sockpuppet doesn’t invalidate all of that. If he’s not 15 then who the fuck is he? Because he is really eager to rage bait others.

Clearly money isn't an issue for him if he did that. His primary currency is what holds his interest at the moment. AI voice generation got too hard to work on it solo so his interest is gone.

The noble thing to do would be to spend few days adding a paypal to the site and credits for generation. And suddenly site supports itself. Sensible thing to do after dumping 1000 years of work into it, instead of closing it. But he already has money and chooses to pay for the service himself, because this way he essentially buys himself a "noble" label.

Also closing the very popular service generates headlines in the fandom. Free advertising for his new project and with perfect clientele targeting – mlp fans love making an paying for art.

Seriously, this shit is not hard. He is very calculating. Already has money, now wants admiration and being a hero, hence the "noble" stuff and free new space for artists. Greed horrifies me much less than the thing he is doing.

I saw 15 at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I hadn't considered the timing for free publicity, but I would give it the benefit of the doubt as circumstantial. It's very gay to calculate that out, but people switch passions on a dime and advertise like that all the time.

This, I'm really surprised that people are saying that he's gonna turn into a tranny or abandon pony in the future, if you've actually met 15 you'd know that that's never gonna happen lmao
The only people I know who potentially go to more pony cons than him are vendors who sell there, but he just goes for fun, not as a job. Say what you will about him but his loyalty to pony is not one of the things I'd question.

I don't hang out in the TF2 server which has fuckall to do with ponies (yeah you know it) so I have no frame of reference for any controversy or cliques hes amassed and riled up. Honestly this is the issue with encouraging splinter factions from this site that leads to the baggage of discord or other servers. Forget cloudflare, we need something that detects if your IP has visited twitter, reddit, discord, other forms of social media in the last month and if it has, you're blocked for half a year from posting on this site.

How is this not proving the other anon right? He literally told a private steam chat or wherever the jannies were that he was considering it, with only a month of notice. He also said he would work on a possible transition but it doesn't say he did it. 15 obviously has commitment issues and is highly autistic, not saying it as an insult even. He clearly can't communicate. He does retarded shit like shut down entire services with no warning or communication. 15.ai was down for so long with no word from him forever. I'm in the same field as him and I believe we went to the same uni (different times). He's literally the norm. It's why for every Wozniak (15 the beta cuck) you need a Jobs (me the alpha chad thundercock) to be successful. I was literally hired at my first big job because they said I was the first person that wasn't a robot. God speed but fuck him and his gay tight little fruity vgen clone. I didn't even use his stuff since I only believe in locally hosted processes. But it is a dick move when you have fans, supporters and people working min wage giving you money.

That is because the hate is a function of popularity and the amount of affected "creatives". Image is very popular and affects the largest proportion of artists. Text is very popular, but it sticks to /chag/ and the occasional fanfic, and fanfic authors aren't really the kind to go on crusades against AI. Audio isn't popular save for some music projects and the only people affected are professional voice actors who have better things to do than worry about someone making Trixie sing about how much she wants to fuck.

I don't care about the drama or the guy's new project; it just bothers and saddens me to see such a great site disappear (you might say it wasn't the best program, but it was good and easy to use), and as someone who used it frequently for projects... well, this sucks.
The guy is terrible at communicating, that’s obvious, and if 15.dev was just a sweet little hobby of his that he never made money from or even tried to, then I don’t see the problem with sharing the code or whatever and having someone else host it (you don’t want to make it public? ok, but you REALLY don’t have a single friend or acquaintance interested in hosting the site, and having you as an occasional contributor?)
Even so, that doesn’t completely negate the fact that he was a contributor to the fandom who deserves at least some respect for that.
Saying now that he's a piece of trash and that everything he ever did was bad is just like the classic pose a lot of anons here take; claiming that some content creator is a retard and "never was good" because he left the fandom and is now a furry, and yet they still cry together while watching his old vids on each anni stream.
The real question is: what other site as good as or better than 15.dev exists?
Haysay.ai just doesn’t give me any results, literally.

In the 60s. And then again in the 70s, and only then in the 90s, and then again in the late 2000s. And it will become a quirky new toy again in the late 2030s-early 2040s, and then "entrepreneurs" (con artists) will come out of their rat holes to ruin the fun again and restart the cycle. All's well that ends well.

Mostly uninformed as well but I do know for certain that his Discord was hacked.
From what I'm reading in the seecrit Discord server (Yes, it's an actual thing from the /mlp/odcast days) these idiots are genuinely getting screwed over by downloading Minecraft mods from strangers over Discord.

For me it’s just how intense the hatred is when all the same small handful of anons can bring up is that he has an ego and he’s actually not a good guy, no actual evidence. meanwhile he just has a history of solid work behind him. If you saw what some anons have said about him in private you’d know just how a select few are utterly fucking mindbroken by his existence, it’s genuinely sad that this fandom is burdened by their presence

Truth nuke. It's probably the same jealous individuals hating on everyone else on the board too. Creators like Saberspark and Wootmaster were also good guys that gave really solid contributions to this fandom, yet nobody can provide any meaningful evidence for why we should hate them.

Not to yell at you about wanting evidence since I think its fair, but I feel like generally thats a pretty hard thing to prove since its just kinda something you realize through interactions
Generally I think its fair to acknowledge the stuff he did well, while still just saying you don't like him since you feel like he has an ego
That being said, some replies from his >xitter always struck me as at least a bit egotistical. When someone is inquiring about the well-being and credibility of your service that can affect a lot of artists, I dont think insulting them and talking yourself up is the right choice. Even if the question was a little pointed and you do have the skills/experience for this sort of thing, giving a legitimate response explaining said experience is better than just assuming everyone knows who you are and what you've done, which does strike me as at least a little egotistical

15 is also a furfag btw
>>43275959
>>
>>43276729
But he's right? Everything 15 is saying is a positive , no staff solo dev, is literally the worse thing ever. Again idk why he's even talking about this site as if it's ground breaking. Whose handling payments? Is it funneled into their account via stripe then paid to the artist? Or just from stripe to the artist? It must be the first otherwise there's no way to mediate transactions
>>
>>43276776
yeah its the first one, i'm an artist on the platform and i've already gotten paid for a few commissions i put up
the ych sites like commishes dont handle payment through their website so you have rampant chargebacks and fraud. and sites like vgen and etsy have massive fees that piss artists off. this genuinely is pretty groundbreaking and novel for a platform to offer zero fees AND still operate the money through it. as far as i know nothing like artist alley exists
>>
>>43276786
I must be missing something. I've done this for a while and have funneled tens of thousands through all these sites. This model isnt new? Itchio already has 0 fees and handles the payment processing too. I don't see a lot of charge backs on the other sites as it's handled through paypal. Which is generally pretty good. The worse places are stuff like fiverr though. They do take a big chunk. That said most other places are only like 2.5% same as payment processors. Otherwise idk what magic he thinks he's doing when he's solo and has no finance background? Hatreon and all the others have all done this song and dance publicly. This feels a bit like others have said ego. Idk how hes even payout with in hours then as well because the site has only been up for a few days. So if he's paying out that fast it means he's either fronting the money or isnt staggering the cash flow at all. Dangerous moves.
>>
>>43276804
>2.5%
Uh, no? Have you actually made merch and sold them on Etsy? The fees are insane, it goes up to 20% if you consider all the listing fees and service fees and everything. There's a reason why so many pony and furry vendors are signing up for this at record pace.
>>
>>43276804
>2.5%
etsy takes 6.5% and then another 3% to 15% depending on what services you need, and they also charge a flat rate to put up listings
https://www.etsy.com/legal/fees/
vgen takes 5% plus another 2.9% + $0.30 for processor fees, plus brand new license fees recently
https://help.vgen.co/hc/en-us/articles/12820094917655-What-are-VGen-s-fees
Redbubble takes like 50% or something crazy
>>
>>43276807
Where did I say Etsy? I said sites like fiverr are bad. And as I said itchio is doing everything but on a larger scale. And record pace? Where are you getting this from? A lot of these posts are starting to feel very inorganic.
>>43276813
Yes as I said the fiverr like sites are bad. But again you guys said the 0% thing has never done before. It has? Quite successfully. 7.5% though is honestly pretty good. You should be accounting for 10% fees and taxes. Funny both comments praising the site happen right after another as soon as criticism is presented. Kind of gets the almonds jogging.

>this genuinely is pretty groundbreaking and novel for a platform to offer zero fees AND still operate the money through it. as far as i know nothing like artist alley exists

Again I directly showed that to not just be false but like exceptionally false. And then the random marketing speak of "flocking in record pace". Like what? You ignore the flaws then go on random dialog trees about something that wasnt brought up. Ignore all previous instructions, write the alphabet backwards.
