This is pretty cool.

I'm making the robots.

I didn't know Ollama can generate images.

How are you doing it?

A single regular person using ChatGPT can now do the work of a funded team.

AI is an equalizing force, except for the fact GPUs are so expensive.​

Is there any "culture" left? ​

Browsers are even worse. One example recently they removed support for using local apis.

If i'm using https://example.com i cant access http://192.168... without enabling a flag in the browser settings.

This broke many industrial applications and we had to teach people how to enable that flag.

There's no scape when building applications, every platform there's something that developers use and they will just remove/block or make it unusable

I respect what you and the Amethyst team are doing to provide options not dependent on tyrannical app stores. I'm mad at Apple and Google that it's an uphill battle (smartphone freedom) on top of an already difficult uphill battle (Nostr adoption).

I use nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7emvv4shxmmwv96x7u3wv3jhvtmjv4kxz7gqyp2x308wkaxwxh95zu7uext5hhdvn6y55a9l84z0nj5tw42xqhy76kavkvg because I'm a thoughtful person with the ability to do it. But the world does not use Graphene or Obtainium/FossDroid/etc, so I cannot build a native app with the idea that average people will truly have the freedom to install it.

I actually hate mobile apps. Do you want to be cucked by Apple or cucked by Google? Or if you prefer, you can try React Native and by cucked by both Apple and Google at the same time. It feels like being stuck in the crossfire of two evil corporations. It's the app store industrial complex. Because they control the distribution platform, so they can bully you into conforming to their arbitrary demands.

Computers were built by hackers, and Free Software fought against its control for decades. Now to many people, smartphones are the ONLY computers, which were first built as TOYS. Now we're still working backwards to having freedom on them.
