so i have been learning #sam and #acme properly and oh my god. acme is the best editor i have ever used. i love the fact that it really is an os interface in its own right. i have been completely underutilising it. i now have a setup on my second desktop at all times.

sam just seems like ed on steroids with a lot of the acme benefits of the mouse interface.

i am using acme for actual work or writing and i use sam for quick edits or config files.

Times of India | Indian student behind fake 'Emily Hart' that scammed MAGA wants to study in US

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

An Indian medical student created the AI‑generated persona “Emily Hart,” a 20‑year‑old New York nurse, to target conservative “MAGA” men in the United States, using the character to sell chat services and AI‑generated bikini photos on Fansly and earn a few thousand dollars a month. He says he was guided by the Gemini AI, which suggested the “hot‑girl” niche because older conservative men have higher disposable income, and he framed the scheme as a way to fund his medical studies, not as a traditional scam. After the Instagram account was shut down for suspicious activity, the student said he would stop the operation anyway to focus on his education. He now wishes to study in the US, but worries that revealing his identity could jeopardize his visa prospects.

Times of India | 'MAGA is super dumb': Indian man scams Republicans with AI-generated model, makes thousands of dollars

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A 22‑year‑old Indian medical student, using the pseudonym “Sam,” turned to AI to earn money online after funding his exam fees and licensing costs. After unsatisfying attempts at YouTube Shorts and selling study notes, he used Google’s Gemini to create an AI‑generated Instagram influencer named Emily Hart—a fabricated American nurse who espoused conservative, pro‑Christian, pro‑gun, anti‑woke, and anti‑immigration views. Guided by Gemini’s suggestion to target a “MAGA/conservative niche,” Sam posted daily political slogans and lifestyle content that quickly amassed thousands of followers and millions of video views. He monetised the account through subscription platforms and merchandise, earning a few thousand dollars a month until Instagram eventually removed the profile for “fraudulent” activity. Google denied that its model provided partisan advice, stating it is designed to give neutral responses.

Today I tested Segment Anything Model (RX 6700 XT / 16 GB RAM)

SAM was developed by Meta and is a local FOSS AI model for image segmentation. It can detect objects in images and generate precise masks, making it possible to isolate people or objects from the background.

In my test, I automatically selected the largest detected mask, isolated it, and processed it further. This allows subjects to be separated quickly from the background for image editing, compositing, stickers, memes, or creative video effects.

Model used: sam_vit_h_4b8939.pth

SAM can be used for:
- Object cutouts
- Image editing & photomontage
- Video compositing & post-production

A newer version, Segment Anything Model 2, extends these capabilities and is especially designed for video segmentation, providing better temporal consistency across frames and more stable object tracking over time.

Video workflow:
- Recorded with OBS
- Edited in Kdenlive
- Transcoded with VAAPI (H.264)

No cloud, real hardware.
Everything runs on Linux, so anyone can set this up.
Works on CPU as well, but much slower.
