MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Where do you hire when scaling?
thank you.

In my OP I asked "where" to find these people. Is it Upwork or...?

MarkVenison··on Ask HN: How to find AI models for various niches?
thanks brother, interesting how bloomberg thought about this 1 year before me, my idea was exactly to build something to sell to bloomberg :D
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
thank you brother! I appreciate it. So basically it seems that civit is already using this bundle of tools somehow. Hehe, how ignorant am I.

So basically where would a person run all these tools? like what is the set up? (background: all my experience so far online is running wordpress blogs on shared hosting, so this is a big leap :D

MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
I gotta take this back. I just learned that it's all about having a fucking detailed prompt up to the camera type and lens.
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
Thank you for the help brother!

Although now I am more confused than ever with these 6 words that when I google seem to not even have their own sites but just some github code. This stuff is getting way more complex than what I thought would be (I thought they were simply using some api from a main site and white labeling it as their own brand)

Confusion in my brain how these pieces fit together:

QLora SD 1.5 ControlNet AfterDetailer Automatic1111 ComfyUI

MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
As a side note, I contacted civit.ai and they told me these porn generator sites (pornx , promptchan, seducedai, etc) are not using their API
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
I signed with civit ai but the quality of the output is not close to the sites I am referring to
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
I just signed up for copilot now to try and nsfw didn't work
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
ahahah exactly, or asking for someone who wants to create a similar app :)
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
I was not specifically referring to deepfake or taylor swift stuff, I don't want to mention site names here, but I am talking about AI generated porn, which makes unbelievable realistic looking images. Stuff like this: (this pic is just a girl in bikini but you will get an idea) https://prnt.sc/68VDJeikmpCH
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Which AI model are AI porn generators using?
Could you please expand on this? I thought it was stable diffusion, I contacted stability.ai and they told me they don't support these sites and don't allow nsfw content.
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Online community where high net worth individuals hang out?
Can you share any of these whatsapp groups names?
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Online community where high net worth individuals hang out?
Hmm I thought so, I was wondering if there was something that had an even higher concentration
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?
self-employed here (company owner)
MarkVenison··on Can you make me an app that removes distraction from Reddit, YouTube and TikTok?
Do you know if there's anything similar for TikTok native app? Like something that can block parts within the tiktok app on iphone?

Thanks @komoD! Do you know if there's anything similar for TikTok native app? Like something that can block parts within the tiktok app on iphone?
MarkVenison··on Can you make me an app that removes distraction from Reddit, YouTube and TikTok?
Thank you, anyway I tried uBlock as per suggestion from someone else and it works well.
MarkVenison··on Can you make me an app that removes distraction from Reddit, YouTube and TikTok?
I am gonna try this. Does it work to a granular level without blocking the sites from working?
MarkVenison··on Ask HN: Where to launch MVPs for free for testing?
Don't you think indiehackers readers represent a very narrow demographic, interested in tech stuff, and are probably not interested in many other things?

Thank you for your feedback.

They have Porn, Fantasy and Anorexia in 1 group. I think the 3 topics are very different and I don't see how an anorexic person can support a porn addict.

In any case, everything has been done, and I am of the opinion that you should launch your product and promote it and aim at your customers regardless of competition. You don't need to be unique.

MarkVenison··on [dead]
That's what I thought, and a way to test this MVP. Would anybody pay for this? If it was free I would get zero useful information. My two cents.
MarkVenison··on [dead]
Thank you for your feedback. Do you have any addiction? If you had an addiction you would know that in the moment you have an urge, especially if your loved ones are next to you sleeping, you definitely don't want to call an hotline, make noise, let everyone hear it and feel embarassed with yourself.
MarkVenison··on Show HN: I made a site that lets you punish yourself
I have been thinking about this as a "daily" habit kinda of thing, instead I think you're seeing it as a "monthly" goal kinda of thing. Maybe your view is easier so people don't have to subscribe and unsubscribe every day, but they can do so once per month.

So for example let's say I create a subscription, first month free.

My goal is to not drink alcohol for the whole month.

So let's say I do drink alcohol > I don't cancel the subscription and get automatically charged. If I don't drink it > I cancel it.

But then next month I would have to sign up again if I want to keep using this method let's say.

Will this mass subscribing and canceling on a daily/weekly/monthly basis annoy Stripe? I was reading from someone who did a similar app that 95% of people will say they achieved their goal. So that would be a 95% subscription cancellation rate.

also I don't want to have to deal with saving people's cards on my server for security headache reasons. So if you have a suggestion that takes this into account also, thanks!
MarkVenison··on Show HN: I made a site that lets you punish yourself
Haha
MarkVenison··on Show HN: I made a site that lets you punish yourself
This is exactly what I wanted to do. But I didn't know how. I looked into it with Stripe and they said they would have to authorize a payment every day and if this happens on a big scale it could trigger some bad stuff and lock it from working. Then I thought maybe I can create a community where if you don't post a message proving you did it this will trigger the transaction, but again it was very complicated. This is my first app and I am using off the shelf tools.

But hey, if you know how I could do this, please tell me and I am gonna do it.

About the charity I disagree, if the money goes to charity you will feel good about failing.

MarkVenison··on Show HN: I made a site that lets you punish yourself
I didn't know this.
MarkVenison··on Show HN: I made a site that lets you punish yourself
My first ever app. I was actually expecting more hate. So far this is the most negative comment and it's not even negative :D
MarkVenison··on Show HN: I made a site that lets you punish yourself
Interesting. I think some people are more motivated by the fear of losing something than by the reward.
MarkVenison··on Show HN: I made a site that lets you punish yourself
I noticed as well actually :)
