It even fits on a 3060 with turboquant / Q4 at decent speed (40T/s) for ~200$ (:

On effort being a requirement: part of art is around playing with limits of a medium and finding a way in it, it takes a lot of trials, attempts, and errors for an artist to make their way. It's not a requirement per se, but something needed for someone to intent something different. Not worried about creative ways where artists explore AI, new things will come out of it and it's going to be interesting. Not worried either about post-modernists who already dropped requirements long time ago and tape bananas to walls, they'll find their way. But the category artists who make their way through the effort put in a medium, not only the narrative around the medium will be affected.

On jobs: craftsmanship is slightly different than art: industries are built with people who can craft, there is today an artistic part in it but it's not the essence of the job: the ads industry can work with lower quality ads provided they can spam 10x. There is however an overlap between art/craftmanship: a lot of people working in these industries can today be in a balance where they live with a salary and dedicate time to explore their mediums. We know what will happen when the craftmanship part is replaced by AI, being an artist will require to have the balance in the first place.

It feels like a regression: it leads to a reduction of ideas/explorations, a saturation of the affected mediums, a loss of intent. Eager to see what new things come out of it though.

I find 1) to be a good property assuming you have some safeguards or rollback procedure, at a cultural/code ownership level it moves the efforts of shared-code changes on the person doing them rather than on the ones depending on shared code, which reduces communications, frustration points and increase responsibility.

For instance in multi-repo environments I've often seen this pattern: own some code, bump an internal dependency to a new version, see it break, ask the person maintaining it what's us, realize this case wasn't taken into account, few back and forth before finding an agreement.

On the other hand in mono-repo environments, it's usually more difficult to introduce a wide changes as you face all consequences immediately, but difficulty is mainly a technical/engineering difficulty rather than a social one, and the outcome is better than the series of compromises made left and right after a big multi-repo change.

That's why I find the WTFPL a bit misleading, I tend to prefer the official french version of it (LPRAB -> http://sam.zoy.org/lprab/) ; the main point of this one is the "j’en ai RIEN À BRANLER." part, i.e, "I don't care at all".

It leaves little room to potential ambiguities regarding whether or not you should expect the author to care about concerns like, looking like a kid.

Unfortunately no, I did this code while trying to reproduce the bell sound, I thought it'd be easier to reproduce it by extracting the active frequencies of the original sample, but I could merely obtain the timbre of the instrument. I guess it needs more work (it doesn't take into account the envelope of the bell) and more tweaks.

Yes, but considering that newer CPUs do not have increasing frequencies, I guess you are more or less doomed to scale horizontally, and not vertically anymore.
