The Guitar Thread
My dad's finally selling his original 1954 Martin D-28.
He developed crippling arthritis in the 90s, had multiple surgeries to keep basic functionality but hasn't played since. He had a band in the 70s, and played with Chubby Checker when he was on tour once.
- The Explorer on the left is purdysausages
- That looks like it has some quality miles on itstoplying
- That’s a beauty. I have a guitar there now for repairsGnash
- Why wouldn't he give it to youcanoe
- jesus canoe, its worth $20k+. its unreasonable for anyone (other than a collector) to own such a guitar unless they bought it back in the day.kingsteven
- You don't have to be a collector to own a guitar dude, man should give his son a bit of history.robthelad
- Beautiful guitar!futurefood
- well apart from it being completely parasocial to enquire or assume inheritance. i_monks dad sounds like he has plenty of history to pass downkingsteven
- “Parasocial” doesn’t mean “having an opinion about a stranger’s family situation.” Presumptuous or intrusive would be closer.canoe
- That said, fair enough. we’re now all confidently debating what a man none of us knows should do with a guitar none of us owns. QBN successfully achieved.canoe
- Tomorrow is truly better.canoe
- parasocial to go there! was giving you the benifit of the doubt you may not know the value, rob not so much lol.kingsteven
- Lol canoe. :)mort_

Artificial Intelligence
Higgsfield is doing a Film Festival competition with 1st prize winner getting $500K
Pixar founder Ed Catmull is in the jury.
https://higgsfield.ai/contests/h…
I was thinking of participating but the requirement of it having to be at least 3 minutes long (preferably 5min) is too much considering how costly generations can become.
- Higgsfield is a scam.utopian
- If it was I wouldn't be using it. And I use it for many commercial productions.NBQ00
- Also if it was scam I doubt the co-founder of Pixar would want to get involved with it.NBQ00
- rich people no doubt about their integritiy, poor people looking for a better life in europe = criminials... its called sucking up to the ruling class.neverscared
- Been using Higgs for a year, it's great. Gonna submit to the AI lords!robthelad
- Higgsfield has good prices for Kling vs other platforms but they have an added layer of censorship that I can't fucking standGuyFawkes
- and jesus H Christ they spam the fuck out of you with their scam promos. before anyone signs up they should run their T&C through an LLM for red flags, cuz...GuyFawkes
- there's A LOTGuyFawkes
- The promos aren't scam but they're just aggressive with the offers. That said their recent "unlimited" Seedance 2.0 4K is amazing. Been generating videos...NBQ00
- ...in the past days in 4K non stop at 0 cost. Just the subscription but still haven't used any credits at all.NBQ00
- @Guy: The censorship is not them but the llm's/ image-video models they host.NBQ00
- the promos and it's a horrible website to navigate through to find the tools you actually need. But it's good :Probthelad

- My daughter was playing out and came in with two large white plushes that some lady gave to her. New neighbour, I think. No idea who they are.Nairn
- Apparently everything we've ever said to her about strangers went out the window when she saw how cute the things on offer were, the simple idiot.Nairn
- haha. Awwwwwww!! Do you wanna come and sit on my knee?Ianbolton
- A group attempted to snatch me when I was 16. Tried to use free religion as bait, thoughtoemaas
- Woah. Sorry to hear that Toemass. Surely all religion is free? Except ScientologyIanbolton

Job Hunt
What got me out of every rough no job times was launching a project myself, spec pitching the projects I wanted to make, looking for sponsors and future partners (even before they were funded, if they ever were) or reps for these projects.
This keeps you active and "distracted" + is a chance for new people to see what you're capable of, what ideas you have etc. Plus it's a way to connect with people who can later give you jobs, without being exactly asking for one.
Hang in there, nothing is permanent.
- Also, if interesting and not too time consuming, pro bono work for people you like is sometimes a good way to reassure yourself about your skills.spl33nidoru
- yea did that too, started something called baypri.aiplash
