Your pricing is absolutely ridiculous. I ran a full image generation site (like Leonardo), so I know what it costs to run models/generate images. I'm shocked people are willing to pay you that much money. Your margins must be like 99%

> Training models on top works great, even averaging 2-3 phrases works great for making a more precise query.

What does this mean?

I thought this too. But you can feel incredibly powerless if all you do is “let the police handle it.” Even in this instance, nothing would have come of it had they not traced the guy. Prosecution of crime happens after a crime is committed. Cops can’t do much if you’re worried someone will harm you or a loved one. Even if stalking is illegal, cops won’t / can’t feasibly spend the resources investigating and punishing stalkers. Even prosecuting sexual assault (ie. after a serious crime has been committed) is extremely difficult.

What actually effective steps can you take if someone is harassing a female in your life? Speaking from personal experience, the lip service of “cops are there to protect you” is inadequate. It didn’t provide any safety, and I can’t see how, structurally, it even could.
