Reply to An ICU coma patient costs $600 a day, how much will it cost to live in the digital world and keep the body alive here? by just-a-dreamer-
A ICU coma patient's care isn't trivial, but the kind or price you're taking about isn't cost-based, it's the kind of prices that we pay due to big insurance. A competitive business could provide much better prices even at today's technology level and I expect by the time this conversation is relevant good automation could do much of the of the work.

Reply to [D] Imagic Stable Diffusion training in 11 GB VRAM with diffusers and colab link. by 0x00groot
Wow. The pace is exciting. Is that the Barack from the original tweet or was it run through this implementation?
Here's the README for anyone interested: https://github.com/ShivamShrirao/diffusers/blob/main/examples/imagic/README.md
Is the .ipynb file a Jupyter Notebook that could be run locally on a card with 12GB VRAM (forgive me if this is a stupid question using Colab and Jupyter is new to me)?

Interesting link.
> This implmentation requires a GPU with ~30GB of VRAM, I'd recommend an A100 from Lambda GPU Cloud which will take a little over 5 minutes to process a single image.
> Make sure you have downloaded the appropiate checkpoint for Stable Diffusion from huggingface and set up your environment correctly. (There are instructions for both in many other Stable Diffusion repos so please Google it if you're not sure.) Note there's plenty of room for optimisation on memory usage and training parameters (this is just a quick guess based on the paper, which doesn't have many details). So please experiment and let me know how it goes!

I think it's more likely we'd see people modifying themselves to be more "competitive".

Reply to comment by TexasMeatCrayon in TIFU by not checking how much drinks cost at a hostess bar by guutarajouzu
The US or maybe European model you're likely thinking of here probably doesn't apply. A hostess isn't a waitress or a bartender (at least not strictly) her purpose is to get customers to buy her drinks. So getting her number isn't surprising because that's how she'll maintain regular customers.
As a friend once explained it to me, her job is to turn you upside down and shake all the coins out of your pockets, only after a few drinks it can quickly become hundreds of dollars followed by some sober remorse.
