There's a difference between feel-good marketing and privacy. Venice it the former. It's important to verify. Dont forget also that the founder of venice tried a hostile take over of satoshi's invetion. So be careful who you trust!

I agree on the feel-good marketing and time will tell if they will be able to implement verifiable proof of privacy.

Not sure which hostile take over you are referring to, maybe the block size wars, if so not sure how this is relevant here.

I do not trust anyone with sensitive private data on other peoples servers.

However i rather generate images or basic AI prompts on a service like Venice AI then other mainstream services that straight up tell that your data is theirs.

You can run your own GPU or rent it e.g. from http://runpod.io/

Flux do decent image generation.

Uncensored image models, I'm not sure which are currently the best, but sounds like a good idea.

Thanks for the link, to rent own GPU is overkill for my AI needs.

I do however plan to use my own hardware once the tools become more user friendly, its too much hacking involved to download and configure each model to achieve good results.

I expect that very soon self hosting AI will become as easy as self hosting other web services, till then services like Venice AI is enough for my needs.
