To add to your excellent comment:
It does not ask if it can copy the art nor does it attribute its generated art with: "this art was inspired by ..."
I can understand why creators unhappy with this situation.
I mean new ocean front property is somehow more if you don't remove the lost property. /s
The "basic" strategy for RoW is, imho, to upgrade it so much that you find your endgame equipment with it. Thus means upgdraded Tier-5 weapon and upgraded plate armor. To clarify: you find these items already upgraded. You also should hoard some scroll of transmutations because you then transmute the RoW when you no longer need it. The upgrades of the RoW scales similar as with weapons or armor. This means as wutg weapons that +1 reduces the strength requirement and then +3 again, as +6. This means the upgrades that are interesting for an RoW are +1, +3, +6, +10, +15, +22. Each if these levels may yield upgraded weapons or armor. As far as I remember (and it may have changed) a +1 RoW can drop +1 equipment, a +3 RoW can drop +2, a +6 can drop +3.
Let's assume you upgrade to +10. this should eventually drop +4 weapon and +4 plate armor and then still having +5 SoUs left to either upgrade tge weapon, the plate armor, another ring (+4 rings could drop as well). Just to finalize tbe example: We use the 5 SoUs to upgrade the weapon, then our final equipment is: +9 weapon, +4 plate (maybe the smith can upgrads to +5) and a +10 ring, that was the RoW before transmuted. This is a good enough equipment in my opinion.
So, tl;dr: +6 or +10 is what I would do. +15 for the fun of it.
A final reminder: The equipment still needs to drop, which is random. So you may just die before anything useful drops. And you need a lot of Scrolls of Curse Removal, since you usually fund a lot of stuff.
Yes, I sometimes drop items I want to sell in the next shop deliberately down a chasm. If you push enemies down a chasm (e.g. wand if blast) then you kill them as well and their dropped items can be found on the next level as well. There may be sone limitations I never experienced. However, if you kill an enemy by pushing it down a chasm you receive less XP.
You have your end weapon already, I would go with scaled armor. Unless you don't like the gauntlets.
I actually hope for a spaceship full of billionaires on the way to Mars. What possibly could go wrong?
It's her cardinal sin. /s
In all honesty, I fear that this is somehow her strongest weakness, because I fear the prejudices too many voters may have. I also hope that her campaign won't focus on the fact that she is femal, black and asian. Because these attributes does not qualify her for the job, nor - more importantly - disqualifies her for it. I hope that the majority of the voters in the key states see this as I do it and vote for her.
I mean it's roundabout 50 years that we let market forces solve this problem. How many years until we see that it actually works? Do we have this years left? What happens if it, mammon forbid, it actually can't solve climate change.
This is good news indeed.
But I see the same problems as with email, chat etc. You can selfhost almost everything. But too few people are doing it. You can use Linux as your Desktop and at least 4% are doing it. Still too few if you ask me.
And if most of the people keep using the commercial and closed source options over the self hosted one, then I see this concentration of power. Additionally, there is the risk of regulatory capture, where big companies may try to at least hinder self hosting due to (what I consider) made up risks.
However, its good that there are currently such good open source option. I hope they will grow and become the defacto standard.
You are still reliant on the models trained by these companies. This training is very expensive. And yes there are ioen source models exist (thank god) but there are also closed source models that are very successfully advertised.
And self hosting requires money and skill. This means there is a lot of people who lack both and may then use closed source models.
