Because if we don’t build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will

Because it’s incredible technology that can revolutionise the film/media industry.

I mean, I’m as big a ML fans as you’ll find on Lemmy, but this is a slop machine to build some Altman hype.

A controllable, integrated version as a tool, with augmentations like VACE or SDXLs controlnet would be neat. Thats also great because it’s not so easy for 1 click zero effort automated spam, which is by far Sora’s largest market as is.

…And guess what. We have that, it’s neat already, it’s open weights, it’s improving, and it’s not so controversial/abused because there’s an actual tiny barrier of entry to using it, like Davinci Resolve vs instagram filters.

FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au on 09 Oct 01:59 collapse

The less barriers to entry the better for something like this. Imagine all the people who have always wanted to make movies/tv shows but haven’t had the ability to who could use these tools to make pilots/trailer to sell to studios, or even create full series/movies to self-publish.

Trying to put barriers and “controls” in front of it purely because you don’t like that it can be used to make “slop” is dumb.

Am I the only one who can’t stand the editing / presentation here? He gave me a migraine in less than 60 seconds.

BaroqueInMind@piefed.social on 08 Oct 22:38 next collapse

He’s cutting out the annoying filler words “um” “uh” etc and useless quiet/dead air. So yes you are the only one.

perishthethought@piefed.social on 08 Oct 23:37 next collapse

Ok, lol, thanks for confirming

Cybersteel@lemmy.world on 09 Oct 01:20 collapse

Filler words makes a piece feel more human. Ironically cutting out human tics in favour of a more sterlised presentation yet criticising AI, how ironic.

MHLoppy@fedia.io on 08 Oct 22:53 next collapse

It's a bit excessive for my taste as well. Traditionally if you felt the need to cut this much just to make the sentence come out the way you want, you'd just do another take instead of making this many cuts in post. Over-cutting of spacing also makes the pacing a bit too "word-vomit" rather than "polished" imo.

I imagine this is more normalized in stereotypically "zoomer" presentation of video content, but it might also just be this guy (or their editor's) style.

Yah, same here – thanks!

It feels quite annoying to me.

I don’t think there is a good reason. It’s an interesting ability for a model. I can see the appeal why people are interested in much the same way I can understand why people climb mountains. Wouldn’t wanna do it myself but I can see why you like it kind of way. For me this falls into the category of “the general public doesn’t need to have access to this.” I get mad when I hear people talk about it in terms of what is and isn’t allowed in it. “And then I tried to put a light saber in it and that was okay but I couldn’t make me into Super Mario.” You just created enough heat in a server farm that will kill a polar bear, that needs to be cooled with future drinking water we need to desalinate, and you have huffed some more air in the hyped up bubble economy surrounding so-called AI. All so you can see where the model draws the copyright line? And if you think that I was modest in my hyperbole, you’ll probably agree with me when I say in a similar spirit that we as a species deserve to eradicate ourselves off this planet.

The so-called AI peddlers have the same problem as news peddlers online. It’s fucking hard to turn users into paying subscribers. And they need to turn a profit at some point. It’s the merciless mechanics of capitalism that dumps all these models on an unprepared general public at dumping prices. A drive to increase shareholder value above any other consideration. It’s time to change that.

And I’m not opposed to this model existing. Research it, fine tune it, offer it for the actual cost you’re running in the background plus a bit of a profit margin. And when it costs $207.40 per month to make these brief videos, I’d be okay with that. It would price out enough users not to undo any of the insufficient climate saving measures we as a species have already implemented.

I didn’t know that! Thank you for that tidbit. Also wanna take the time to say I feel I derived more satisfaction learning of the source than I lost from the bummer.

The general public won’t have access to it. They are locking it down more and more.

Governments, corps, the elite will have access though. That seems worse than open access to me.

I have never once asked why something should exist. It’s the human will to make new cool things, and in 5y this model will train on your refrigerator, so you aren’t stopping it. These videos complain about the problems of exponentially increasing technology rather than look towards solutions, like anti capitalist organizing. Like, ok, this destroys copyright and IP: guess what copyright and IP is DUMB CAPITALIST NONSENSE. Let’s overthrow it. These people are complaining about companies selling access to these models under cost: that’s because this can never make a profit! If you don’t need labor, cost goes to 0. This will spur unemployment and harm, which will spur worker participation and class warfare.

And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.

To me all the complaining is the sweet voice of class consciousness.

Embrace this shit because the fascists 100% are. Use it, learn its limitations. Make sure you keep people informed about it.
