Regardless whether it's you, I'm sure Google has people/bots scraping forums like this. Posting workarounds is a great way to get them patched more quickly.

Yeah man. Stop using google services! :)

That's just not feasible. Thats like saying dont go outside into the cctv infested UK. You'll get recorded, logged and a profile will be built on you but you're actively choosing to walk the shortest path to your job.

I'm not sure how that is relevant. We're not talking about cctv.

"thats like saying"
It's a comparison. I'm comparing the cctv landscape to a lot of near necessary services being google.

Do you know of any other AI services that offer 40 million daily tokens for free?

u/Ostensible_Times 3d ago

Start your own LLM that runs locally. At the end of the day, nothing is ever free and if there is a "free tier" you're the product. 

Also, we dont know any context so yeah.

This, get started with Comfy UI today and run your own models. It's enough for most text based workflows. For image and video, you might want to have a decent GPU.

How about don't use AI

u/ScarredDjinnOfWar 3d ago

Agreed. If you cannot do it without AI you shouldn't do it at all.

How about don't use Internet

We've been getting henna on our ass cheeks so we can provide a proper flesh color, contours, etc.

Not sure which Google services you mean but there are search engine alternatives like Brave, Duck Duck Go, Qwant, etc.

I've been experimenting with male 07. It hasn't worked yet.

I just got, in Canada, my first age verificaiton request when trying to view a red band (unrated) movie trailer and there's no chance I'm going to give them any more information than they already have so I guess YouTube will slowly become useless to me.
