Alternatively, are there any publications engaging with the future potential of AI in a communist society, or in the lead up to a communist society? A lot of forum discussion used to pertain to the cybersyn project in Chile. But I feel like the LLM/ML/AI discussion is currently on a reactionary back foot.

If you’ve used it, I’m curious as to what potentials do you see from it? Where is it being used effectively where are you encountering it where you go, damn that sucks.

Where it sucks: Every single chatbot and phone tree when calling a support line ends without speaking to a flesh-and-blood agent. It makes me want to throw my phone into the woods.

Where it rules: Fulfilling bullshit work requests like OKRs with AI-generated drivel. Translation work. It tutored me through a Grad-level Statistics class that was all Asynchronous.

    I should try ComfyUI; to be blunt, I went with Automatic1111 because there was a decent walkthrough on how to set it up on a Radeon card

    IIRC setting up comfyui for AMD is the same as with A1111, it just only works on linux because it doesn’t have directml support. I just cloned the conda environment I used for A1111, IIRC I uninstalled the pytorch libraries from it, then let comfyui install the versions it wanted. I don’t think there was anything more involved than that, just setting up a launch script with the right environment settings to try to mitigate the frequent hard system crashes I get with ROCm which may or may not have been solved by switching from ROCm 5.7 to 6.0, changing a certain kernel value, adding the right environment settings, and underclocking my 6800 even more than it already was - I haven’t crashed since then but I haven’t stress tested it either.
