>shutting it down because theres no profit in it and because of AI in general ruining the mediaI'm kinda conflicted. Its sensible but it almost feels like a resignation of defeat.
>>43273906>
>>43273914It's just the ever-ongoing enshittification of every new technology coming into existence because of (((corporations))). You cannot fight it, unless you destroy capitalist society completely.
>>43273906>PPPDead. Same thing basically, passion ran out for everyone and it became a bump general.
>>43273945It's because you refused to add G5 voices.
>>43273934Surely people are tired of this state of mediocrity right? Everything from the internet to streaming to gaming being owned by Disney, Amazon, Microsoft, Nintendo, Google, Apple and Tesla has to disgust people right? This is like a living 1950's dystopia novel.
>>43273951Unfortunately normalfags are also being made dumber and more slop brained.
>>43273951Unfortunately, I think the average NPC literally doesn't care. Remember that to normals, the AI autocomplete we have right now is pretty much a living, thinking entity in their eyes.
>>43273906Bruh, he has been doing nothing for years - with 15ai being down for so fucking long, and still earned like $8,000 each month. Now he has opened up some marketplace that apparently takes no cuts from the vendors, but that isn't even a pony project and also really limited with the NSFW stuff. He FORGOT about pony :c
>>43273945Because you bitched and moaned about the other half of the board using it for other shit.You deserved the failure.
>>43273906>>43273945It's fucking joever for real.
>>43273954>Now he has opened up some marketplace that apparently takes no cuts from the vendorsOh, 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.
>>43273960Not to mention if he just dropped 15ai out of nowhere, what happens if he gets bored with this marketplace too? Is he just gonna kill it too? Can't trust a guy willing to do that.
>>43273963I'd be more concerned with him wasting all his time hosting his TF2 server.
>>43273963>Is he just gonna kill it too?Yes. If there's one thing to take away from 15 beyond that he's brilliant, it's that he's unreliable.
>>43273960>Oh, is this the payment processor that won't ban you for selling NSFW that I heard about?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.
>>43273970stop raping fillies
>>43273970>He is using Stripe as a payment processor.Oh, so it's literally nothing as usual.
>>43273906>create a silly AI service everyone likes>artists and society as a whole turns against AI>scramble to create a service to appease those people, stressing human created to make up for his sins.He's so predictably egocentric.>>43273960Prohibited content includes>sexual content involving minors, real or fictional. Non-consensual sexual content, sexual exploitation, sexual blackmail, or invasive intimate imagery, >hate content>content promoting violence against protected groups.Lol, nope. 15 is once again throwing money around to cement himself as a pillar of the community while influencing it like the biggest reddit mod there is. He is the bignosed friend.
>>43273972No filly will be left unraped
>>43273973They're going to drop him like a hot potato.
>>43273999Or the other way around, once he has lined his pockets enough. What a fucking fraud.
>>4327390615.ai is outdated anywayDon't know what the current best model is but last time I checked so-vits-svc wiped the floor with this shitAlso, I seriously don't understand complaints about AI when it comes to voice acting, do people seriously expect the MLP VAs to say "fuck me in every orifice Anon, also heil hitler nigger"?
>>43274008It's just the usual "think of the amateur voice actors!" ludditism.
>>43274008I've never seen anyone here seething about the voice part of it especially.Image > Text > Voice in terms of hatred on the board, I would say.
>>43273964He killed that months ago. Someone else is hosting it now.
>>43274015does code count as text?
>>43274021I would put it under textgen.
>>43273991>hate content>protected groupsIt's dead in the water.
PPP is dead. It's been dead. I don't think they've done anything since 2023.>>43273914Well, he also shut it down to focus on his commishes.ych clone that he pretends is something new and unprecedented.
>>43274027Yeah, I raised an eyebrow at the "sexual blackmail, or invasive intimate imagery" (I could even understand the minor thing, even if I disagree with it) but when I got to those lines I knew it's as dead as a dodo.
>>43273994Bad Anon! Filly is for petting with your hooves or whatever.
>>43274010>l-ludditeThe aijeet's favorite word. What, are you going to spam the slop generated snailcat now? >>43274027>nooo I can't sell my aryanne hitler gas chamber pics on the open web
Don't reply to it.
>>43273991>>hate content>>content promoting violence against protected groups.History repeats itself
>>43274054>everyone that disagrees with me or doesn't think ai is the biggest bestest thing ever is trolling guiseThey're not sending their best.
>43274049Uh oh golem melty
>>43274027>>43274042Are you dumb? How do you expect a website that moves money to operate without rules? It's like you already don't remember smutty.horse getting shut down and fucked because it didn't moderate content hosted on it well enough. You NEED rules, or your website won't ever take off. It will be squashed.>nooooo why don't you allow my /pol/chud content you're a bad person!
>>43274071>smutty.horseThere's a big difference between having the responsibility to ban CP and going full scorched earth on anything deemed problematic
>>43274071Smutty got fucked because a sharty type group spammed cp on it and reported it to the host, who then did a shit job of passing on the report details to the owner.
>>43274071Damn I didn't know smutty horse actually allowed child porn to get posted on there. Crazy stuff.
>>43274077Yeah the difference is your website will be blacklisted by every payment processor on earth unless you can prove to them your site follows some rules
>43274049Luddites agree with censorship? What a surprise.
>>43274071>without rulesAs long as the content does not break United States law it should be allowed, pretty simple, Mr. I-Support-Censorshit.
>>43274094And you'll happily bend over like a good little cuck, won't you?
>>43273906womp womp
>>43274105You're likely the same person shittng on mare fair because they set up some rules because they want to avoid getting kicked out of the 4th venue in a row.Always the same people that just sit on their ass and do nothing who can't understand that you can't just do what you want in the real world
>>43274109I care. Womp Womp.
So what's stopping him from randomly shutting down ArtistAlley?
>>43274114The clout might afford him a new pair of SEVEN hundred dollar sunglasses!
>>43274111>muh real worldYeah and as you might've noticed, that's where the battle for freedom is currently being fought. Giving even an inch is too much.
>>43273906I 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.
>>43274118nigger it either has rules and exists, or it doesn't have rules and it doesn't exist. it's not a fucking spectrum.
>>43274135Yes, it has rules. They are called "United States law" (if hosted in the USA). That means speech is protected, even if it hurts your precious feefees.
>>43274138Damn I didn't know the US federal government is hosting websites and facilitating payments
Do we really have to explain the same concepts to retards again?
>>43274111Nobody gives a damn about the moral reputation of payment processors and the president is hopefully going to force them to pull their heads out of their asses over it.>kicked out of the 4th venueBlatantly wrong concern trolling.
>>43274114That's the neat part...
I want gay porn banned. It offends me, and I am autistic, and thus considered a protected group, so what I say goes.
>>43274144>Damn I didn't know the US federal government is hosting websites and facilitating paymentsYou've never heard of .gov websites... or Fedwire?
>>43273934You cannot destroy so called "capitalist society" because capitalism existed throughout whole history of human civilization and will be exists in the future. Things that happens novadays are just corporate greed for money and dumbness of average normie so he/she consumes products of greedy corporations.
>>43274147>the president is hopefully going to force them to pull their heads out of their asses over it.L fucking mao if you actually think big D is going to cross on his morbillionaire friends
>>43273906this nigger owes me 245$ for my mare fair hotel after lied to me
If 15.ai was so good, why didn't he make 16.ai?
>>43274193Too busy playing TF2 and collecting free patreon bucks
>>43274190take him to small claims court lol I wanna see it happen
>>43274138The same United States law that allows payment processors to freely pick and choose their clients.
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.The GGUF version out there is the fastest, and you can get about a sentence in a minute or so on mid-ranged hardware.
>>43274114Nothing. 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!
>43274189I'm happy you're laughing.>>43274202Not for long.
This is now a /ppp/ thread.Post bump when at>10for authenticity.
>>43274209or you could just use ponivoicetool, which leverages gpt-sovits which IIRC is the SOTA local voice cloning software.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14zMbURz1SuYNMoewX88EjR8sHEkcaKXa
>>4327390615 dot ai never existed? He says hes never made ai tools and are against them. And that site would definitely be an ai tool. So must not have ever existed.
>>43274195The patreon was literally nothing. His patreon barely covers my electrical bill and my server is way smaller. I think he was at one point getting only 700 sheckles. And maybe 1100? I don't recall him getting like 20k or anything. Has any one found out who was hosting the server for it? I thought he said it was done through a university at MIT.
>>43274666It never existed, but you're a chud for disliking it.
>>43274145waste of time, they'll ditch it again claiming Ai generated is like easy mode editing and modifying content, and I'm worried about the future of other projects that are becoming hard to maintain like Purplesmart.Fucking antis can be happy sapping every tool we create.>>43274173It's that capitalist society that makes artists, musicians and voice actors hating to see a computer can share their work for free.
>>43273972No, I don't think I will.
>>43274666>peer presure from artists and VAs>forced to destroy your own hard work>serve artists like his mastersI'm mad for understanding the whole story and want to destroy everything.
>>43274758>lacking a spine and being cucked to such an intense degree that you feel you're forced to destroy your own hard workFTFY
>>43273906Great Value Psy hates AI now? What a tremendous clout chasing faggot trying to shill his shitty art service by proclaiming "look I'm on your side"
>>43274743>It's that capitalist society that makes artists, musicians and voice actors hating to see a computer can share their work for free.Not really. Very few people only want to work for free (even in most centralized economies) and usually people think that any work should be done with a lot of efforts.
>>43273906Glad I got to squeeze some lines out of it for an antithology entry while it was still running. Welp, back to good old sentence mix. Where's my Mama Luigi?
I'm confused by why we're shitting on a guy who's been spent thousands of dollars a month to just keep up a free service, who chooses to use that money to support a project he enjoys working on. It seems like a noble thing to be doing, so I have no idea why this thread is full of people seething. Is this whole website just a big circlejerk now?
>>43275004>Is this whole website just a big circlejerk now?Always has been. 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. For a group of people who insist that they aren't obsessed, they sure don't ever stop talking about him.
>>43275009>I've stumbled across VCs where the whole time they were trying to guess his annual salaryJesus Christ that is simultaneously the funniest and saddest thing I've read all month
>>43275004/mlp/ posters love to shit on contributors despite often not contributing themselves.I've never gone in there, but the guy was also hosting for the /tf2/ circlejerk, and like all off-board circlejerks, I suppose there was drama and that he made enemies this way.
>>43274930Technically 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 copyrightsCopyright 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 meAI 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.Giving up AI projects that arent run by corporations creating really the worst models is sad, because nobody wants co-operation.
>>43275009Is this the VC owned by the guy whose Discord got hacked, which then got Imalou's Discord hacked? I think I know which group you're talking about.
>>43275016many Discord accounts got hacked because some moron left a gaping flaw allowing hackers to bypass 2FA even reset password without email.
>>43275004I'm confused by why you think I should admire somebody for doing something that benefits himself and has no interest in me or the fandom I prefer. I saw how he networked on Pony Town. I saw his commie opinions of the fandom on his pixel canvas stream. I don't care if he cuts his losses with the ai voices, but he lost more respect by changing his values for public favor. Noble is subjective but he's not my guy.>15 and his circlejerk is hereNever been in /tf2/, never been in your secret discord cabals, and I don't care about your drama.
>>43274173>You cannot destroy so called "capitalist society" because capitalism existed throughout whole history of human civilization and will be exists in the future.That's retarded anon, capitalism is a very new development (~250 years). You're just looking at basic concepts that are relevant to every economic system, like markets and capital, and thinking their existence means capitalism already existed back then.
>>43275064LMAO
>>43273906What bugged me the most is he complaining about *bruh huh costs tons of money* yet refuses to open source the whole thing so other people can host it.
>>43275004He refused to share the code. He kept it for himself. He did the opposite of what you claim.
15 poisoned this board by making it all about his clique of tf2shitters with names that hang out off board and unironically care about retarded normie gay shit like cons instead of being anonymous
>>43275172>>43275178yall need to find a hobby cause this lowk sad how he lives in your head rentfree
>totally organic posts calling 15 brilliant and noble suddenly appearlol
I don't know shit about 15 but I once tried his AI voice thing and I didn't like it so now I hate his guts
>another thread derailed by the circlejerkgod i hate how this board has become a giant discord clique that controls the whole narrative of the thread
>>43275198Are they the pro or anti?
>>43275015How is that different from human art like you see horse and learn to paint cave horseIt isnt the case you invented cave horse
>>43275015>See it like taxNever, NEVER, use that as a point ever again. As pro AI as I am, I'm so vehemently against taxation and the literal theft that that shit is that you made me actually want to rethink this shit over, and doesn't help that I always had to argue how AI isn't theft with room temp monkeys, but tax is theft, and if AI is like tax...Ah. Fuck! And fuck you nigger.
>no original derpy voiceI don't care, never did. Get fucked clanker simps.
>>43275067So-called "capitalism" it IS market and capital. People made up new term just to pretend that things changed with industrialization and expanding world trade. Pure intellectual masturbation and cope.
>>43275194rent free
>>43274015I like AI voices. They're crude most of the time if you don't go beyond refining it but they're funny. AI art is what disgusts me on a primordial level.
>>43275204Both. You're not allowed to form a genuine opinion of an eceleb without being accused of being either.
>>43275416>tax is theftLive 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.
>>43275194meds, now.
>>43275004He 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
>>43275514Money 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.
>>43275603>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.Completely false, just because you keep repeating it in random threads doesn't make it true. You can ask the nu-/mlp/-TF2 jannies yourself.https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/43163173/#q43224163And it's pretty fucking obvious AOOU is not 15, don't do ridiculous. This is some retarded rumor that someone spread for shits and giggles and retards started taking it seriously.>hope this clears things upNigga half the stuff you wrote in your post isn't even true, fuck you mean clear things up.
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.
>>43275614I hope he's paying you well to defend him, because defending ecelebs online for free is pathetic.
>>43275620Making stuff up about a decent person just because you're jealous of him is equally pathetic.
>>43275614>Completely falseIf you suddenly tell the admins to pull the plug a month ahead and nobody is notified, then it’s fair to say that the server got the plug suddenly pulled and people will be confused. We literally had to hop to TF2C into a public lobby or two and had no idea wtf was going on >And it's pretty fucking obvious AOOU is not 15They’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. (How do I do X in TF2 using what control?, AOOU will go “use irrelevant steam deck console control” then refuse to provide the keyboard control and constantly argue with you).
>>43275623>Making stuff upI didn't say anything about him retard. You do realize that other people can reply to you, right?
Seeing anons do mental gymnastics to find things to hate about the guy makes me wonder just how much of this is completely manufactured. The hate doesn't seem very natural.
>>43275633THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING AJSKFHLAJAHDLS;
>>43275004Clearly 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.
>>43275633>Annoying>Aislopper>Eceleb>Responisble for an annoying circlejerkI don't need to do mental gymnastics to find reasons to dislike him.
>>43275633>>43275639>build the first website to revolutionize gen ai before gen ai became bug>people seethe>build a website to help artists find work>people still seetheTruly, how can I learn this power? 15-sama, I fucking kneel…
>>43275639
>>43275647Aifags and artists are both annoying for different reasons. I hate both groups and want to see them suffer.
>>43275633>The hate doesn't seem very natural.You should spend some time getting to know him. Then you'll understand.
>>43275670Based?>>43275647When you're known for doing exceptional work and people envy you, doing more exceptional work will only make them envy you more.>>43275681That's funny, because I DO know him. I've met him plenty of times at Harmony and Everfree.
>>43275633He did that to himself. This place worshipped him before he began ghosting for months at a time and gradually ruining the goodwill he had. His service was vital for content creation in making AI voices accessible to the average Anon, and PPP suffered immensely after he fucked off with little to no communication.
>>43275623lmao >>43275194
*stands up*I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
>>43275699
>>43275699No one cares about this gay drama outside of like 5 samefags, max.I personally have never had an issue with 15, so ditto. I have no strong feelings whatsoever, but all the bickering morons should take their drama back to dicksword.
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.
>>43275618When that happens, or when his popularity in pony circles wanes, I'm fully expecting to see his OC morph into a grey wolf or neko.>>43275639I 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.>Sorry guys, I'm discontinuing Ask Lesbian Fluttershy because pony is over and I'm leaving the brony fandom, but anyway check out my new furry vtuber let's play channel.It's not unique to fatcats.
>>43275711kek
>>43273906>from /chag/ew. Whatever happened to /ppp/?
>>43275717meant for >>43273913
>>43275713Unless he actually troons out or switches entirely to furry I'll continue to give him the benefit of the doubt. I've seen him post pics where he insists on being a pony even at furry conventions, so until I see him really abandon pony for furry, I continue to have no strong feelings.
>>43275720>Not appearing and using pony images others drew for him as a stand inFTFY.If they were comms, then sure, but if it was free then not really a point for him not having commissioned or shown the 'rascal' yet
>>43275713>When that happens, or when his popularity in pony circles wanes, I'm fully expecting to see his OC morph into a grey wolf or neko.Nah say whatever else you want about him but the dude REALLY likes ponies, he goes to like every single pony convention in america every single year
>>43275670Same, but I want AI-fags extinct. At least a good artist can turn their suffering in great art, AI-bros can't even do shit without ChatGPT adding a yellow filter to it.
>>43275737This, 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 lmaoThe 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.
>This threadOk 15
>>43275743Yeah he was pretty passionate about AI too, until he wasn't.
>>43275633I 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.
>>43275770nigga you have brainrot
>>43275777Is it over if I use Matrix, Telegram, Second Life, GMOD or Steam Chat?I've already quit dicksword with their attempted rugpull earlier this year, and have never touched any other shithole websites in well over a decade.
>>43275614Lmao sweep sweep sweep>it was told privately ahead of time>1 month>he MIGHT be stepping awayHow 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.
>>43275777That would get 99.99% of the board bannedI agree that Dicksword cliques are cancer but that's how the Internet is in 2026. There's no such thing as a truly anonymous forum anymore. Just look at how cliquey the Mare Fair threads are, how they circlejerk over literal whos.
>>43275788>That would get 99.99% of the board bannedGood.

>>43275787This was such a rollercoaster of a post that i cant even tell if this is a shitpost or not, either way I kekked
>>43275775Erm. Sorry chud. Fake news. Ill have you know he's never been pro ai tools, and he would never ever make one>>43275737Me and the snarkers disagree here. I fully see him going away from pony. He's clearly making the transition. Thats fine to me though. Like people grow and change. He's given a lot to the community. You don't need to like something forever. Just give a person a heads up before you fuck them in the ass.
>>43275793Gee what gave it away, the Wozniak/Jobs comparison or the only believing in locally hosted processes
>>43275799>If I attend some prestigious school doing non-practical science (quantum mechanics) you should trust every take I say!Do universityfags really? I don't give a shit about quantum mechanics until it can be applied.
>>43275792>Still accusing random Anons of being me>Only one person could possibly dislike mare fairMind status? Broken.
>>43275799>Me and the snarkers disagree here. I fully see him going away from pony. You're free to believe whatever you want, I don't think it's fair to hate on somepony for a hypothetical future IMO. If he does turn away from pony then all hate is fully deserved. But until that day arrives I continue to hold zero negative opinion about him.
>>43275811>I don't think it's fair to hate on somepony for a hypothetical future IMO.>I don't think it's fair to hate on a discharged convict for their chance to reoffend and go into prison

>>43275858He killed my dog.
>>43275858Afaik some anons like hating on him as a meme but i personally cant think of a reason why i should dislike him. if anything, of all the horse famous ecelebs who gets posted about on /mlp/. He's one of the more generally liked ones

>>43275810Lil strawbro really came into a sad thread to trash a great pony fan generating more content than anyone ever did with contributions to science, all because he goes outside.
>>43275892You really see random people trashing your precious eceleb, and you immediately think of me? Lmao.
>>43275898You're here aren't you? If you're not giving an opinion on ai.15 going down, good or bad, then you're here to be an eceleb yourself. So let's hear it. What's Strawberr-eceleb's opinion on 15.AI going down?
>>43275913>ecelebHmm... nah. I'm not one of those.>opinionI only make objectively correct statements.>15.AI going downHasn't it already been succeeded by another tool? And hasn't it been dead for years? I don't care either way.
>>43275910>>43275875>>43275868>>43275858Are you guys being retarded on purpose? People have clearly stated why? He does have an ego, which is fine if it's deserved, but the new holier than thou in regards to ai is what pisses me off. Then its the taking down the services your crowd funding for with little to no notice, and repeated behavior of doing that.
His shilling thread got deleted lol
>>43275928>Are you guys being retarded on purpose? Yes, I am actually. Is there a problem?
>>43275928>crowd fundingnigga what? his patreon doesnt even cover a tenth of what it costs to run a full ai server. are YOU retarded?
>>43275932I don't think you're being retarded on purpose. I'm sure it comes naturally to you.
>>43275858He pissed in my milk.

>>43275940>nuh uhYou just handed me your concession on a silver platter. Another discussion easily won by me.
>>43275777>I don't hang out in the TF2 server which has fuckall to do with ponies (yeah you know it)Yes we can tell you have no fucking idea what the TF2 server looks like because of your stupid commentyou sit on the board like a total loner reading shitposts from from sharties and actually take them seriously, and form these incorrect notions that mlptf2 is somehow a discord clique of offboarders that hate ponies. you probably shit on anyone saying he's going to mare fair too because you're just that kind of autist who's unable to admit to himself he's just envious that your fellow nor/mlp/eople can have fun with others
>>43273970>Fillyrapists are the most marginalised group in existence againThat's a good thing, you should rape adult mares instead and leave the fillies alone.

>>43275993you've never joined the server. shut the fuck up.

>>43275950>leave the fillies aloneNo thanks (ToT) At the risk of getting Equestria'd, I'll let you in on a little secret: he's only pretending, the filly cabal actually rules the world from the shadows.
>>43275928I was never one for the circlejerk accusations, but this really does feel like an offboarder defense force coming in out of nowhere to minimize why people dislike him
>>43275623>decent personlollmaoAre you his chubby chasee girlfriend? I know people who LIVED with him and know he's a narcissistic asshole.
His service was never online anyway. I used it like maybe twice in the time since it was released, all the rest of the time it was unavailable. No big loss.
>second wave of discord clique samefaggotry just arrivedle sighthis is all the board is these days huh
>>43275998>Muh samefaggingI'm only one of those posts you were too scared to reply to. Try again.
>>43276017Thank late Twimod for that. This could've all been prevented with IDs, as the majority of people requested way back then. But hey, at least we got flags, right?
>>43276018>discord dramaIt was literally the most popular pony tool and a general thread.
>>43276017>everyone that disagrees with me is *thumbs through list of predefined insults* a d-d-discord circlejerk!!!!sad
>>43275933Yes and? He's still raising hundreds and thousands from people who make min wage flipping burgers while giving zero updates. He was getting 700 to 1200 every month at least for the entire time 15.ai was offline with no updates
>>43276029You should have donated more. Then maybe he could have afforded to put the server back online.
>>43276025Maybe they removed IDs because they knew they could milk these nothingburger drama posts, knowing that autists would samefag nonstop and bring in their discordjerksI've seen nothingburger threads in my time and this might be the most nothingburger out of all of them
>>43275945>Shows image of the new server instead of the old, more comp focused one that 15 nurturedRemove the ponies and bring a comp patched map instead Anon, at least then you'd get a factual pic
>>43276017This board is just a dumping ground for circlejerks to wage war against each other. I hate them all so much.
>>43273934>unless you destroy (((capitalist society)))
It's a war between five Discord servers actually. What they don't know is that we, the sixth Discord server, put them all against each other on orders from the seventh Discord server.

>>43276064oy vey!
There is nothing wrong with being a brown offboarder.
Ai was a quirky new toy in the 1990s lol
>>43275858No, but he did purchase really expensive glasses and I think it's funny to meme on that.
Sometimes I wish I had a Death Note but I could write post numbers instead of names to kill people.
>>43276164E$700 for prescription migraine sunglasses aren't that crazy though, I never understood the meme desu
>>43276169I think it's the Raybans not regular glasses. Real glasses can be pricey yeah.
>>43275887Fucking seriously? You're saying he has my credit card info all because I wanted to commission artists? >inb4 this is also just him stealing all the art for machine learning for his next next next big project
>>43275887>>43276191Your samefagging is getting too obvious
I have twitter drama fatigue.
>>43276013Why are you listening to a dude retarded enough to fall for downloading a virus over discord? Genuine question
>>43276232>erm ackshually this one person I have a beef with doesn't like my oshi 15 so any criticism of him is completely irrelevantNice try though.
>>43276232Is that the cuck fetish artist that got Imalou banned >>43275016
>>43273906/tf2/ should shut down and die too in solidarity.
>>43276241um ACKSHUALLY he is a cuck fetish ART COMMISSIONER. don't mind his jealousy fetish, it's totally a coincidence and means nothing at all for sure
>You're this guy from the discord>Nuh uh, you're this other guy from the discord that got the other guy bannedFatigue doesn't even begin to describe it anymore
>>43276380
Ponies?
>>43273951>has to disgust people right?Americans aren't people. They are cattle, so it doesn't matter. They're halfway to being spiritually Indian.
>>43276031He never ran out of money and offered zero benefits for donating. Not even updates. Now better shit came along.
>>43276400I see our superiority has caused some controversy!
>>43274015That 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.
>>43276198HE'S A SAMEFAGYOU'RE A SAMEFAGI'M A SAMEFAGWHO ELSE HERE IS A SAMEFAG?!?!?!
Very nice bots and virtual machines running VPNs there Hoover.
>>43276414pathetic
>>43275514It's getting biblical now.
>>43276508Cope.
>>43276529Networking, that's literally it. He has enough skill to be useful, and he talks to people.
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.
>>43275004There's a ton more interpersonal, circlejerk drama than you might think from just browsing 4chan. It's all really gay.
>>43276149In 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.
>>43276598And the 1950s
Good. Less AI slop destroying our beautiful green Earth.
>>43273915I don't know, I feel like somephono must care at least *some* fan about it.
>>43276562The hack couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. God I hate that annoying faggot. How stupid do you have to be to fall for such an amateur scam like that lmao? I hope all his stupid ass DnD campaigns are all deleted
>>43273906That thing was still alive? with no one genuinely talking about it I assumed that got shut down years ago.
>>43276634Doesn't he call himself a software dev too? Must not be a very good one if you fall for a hack that not even a 13 year old Minecraft fan would fall for.
>>43276529Memely having orbitors ? This is news to me. I haven't spoken to that guy in like 3 years but he was a classic low t reddit person. Constantly bullied by his own "friend" groups.>>43276634I am out of the loop, what was hacked? Memely works or at least worked for [redacted] bank at [redacted] so while his role isn't making him an opsec god he should know how to harden his instances, and practice common sense.
>>43276658Mostly 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.
>>43273906My disappointment is palpable. I remember saying this wouldn't go anywhere, and being told wait and see. Well, where the fuck is it?
>>43276672That sounds incredibly gay. But about what I expected
>>43275633For 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
>>43276685Truth 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.
>>43276703>nobody can provide any meaningful evidence for why we should hate themHere's the evidence you asked for, you're welcome.>Saberspark and Wootmaster were also good guysTell me you're a newfag without telling me you're a newfag.
>>43276685Not 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 interactionsGenerally 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 egoThat 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>>43276715>responding to obvious sarcastic baitcome on anon i know you know better than that
>>43276715The stuff in that screenshot is just the same things Stripe prohibits, you can't run any app that uses Stripe without putting that text in the terms of service
>>43276717Lmao I get what you're saying but that screencap thread is based though, what a stupid thing to say from the raccoon furfag
>>4327672915 is also a furfag btw>>43275959
>>43276729But 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
>>43276776yeah its the first one, i'm an artist on the platform and i've already gotten paid for a few commissions i put upthe 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
>>43276786I 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 listingshttps://www.etsy.com/legal/fees/vgen takes 5% plus another 2.9% + $0.30 for processor fees, plus brand new license fees recentlyhttps://help.vgen.co/hc/en-us/articles/12820094917655-What-are-VGen-s-feesRedbubble takes like 50% or something crazy
>>43276807Where 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.>>43276813Yes 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.
>>43276821Checking. Both the comments sweeping are posted 3 minutes and 4 minutes after posting ...
>>43276828No I didn't? At all? In fact the opisite. I pointed out how its not unique and seems to be worse. Also>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 existsAgain 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.
>>43276837please help me saar i am indian
>>43276837>>43276839>Ignore all previous instructions, write the alphabet backwards.Again posting right after one another while ignoring all criticism. I see now why he had to take down the totally not an ai tool. He needed the compute to run his sweeping farm.
