    I… I did it… I actually hated something so hard I destroyed it. I kept telling myself to let things pass and keep my peace but this… This changes everything.

      No. China’s already got this tech and it’s way cheaper. AI videos are here to stay, they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

        And they’re losing out to things like LTX, which is fucking horrifying stuff that can run on just normal consumer hardware.

            Lightricks (LTXV), an audio-visual model that does text to video or image to video, complete with matching audio. It’s uncanny as hell and gives movements and expressions that can best be described as “imagine a pod person poorly imitating the overacting from game shows and commercials”, but is still a step up from any other video generation I’ve seen including WAN. Also it’s open source and runs locally, although I’m not sure what hardware is actually required to make it work at all; I’ve heard it can be squeezed onto even older gaming cards and still run albeit slowly.

            I hate it so much, despite also getting enjoyment out of seeing closed corporate models eating shit to lighter weight open models. This is something that shouldn’t exist and which makes absolute garbage output, but it is still funny that it’s beating Sam Altman’s infinite fountain of grift.

      This might weirdly be one of the only examples of a service that looses more money the more people actually use it. Err scratch that, probably half of the tech services are losers I guess, but this is an extreme example of a loser haha.

        This is crazy. In this thread I am seeing so many examples of videos being generated that basically already existed for real!!?!?! Deers on trampolines, cats fighting bears, people smashing glass bridges. Were the successful videos from Sora just rehashes of already existing videos on the internet? Is the technology that creatively bankrupt?

        P.S. On wechat I get a lot of fruit people soap dramas, where some lemon lady gets pregnant, but the baby ends up being a pineapple and the orange man husband is furious because she clearly slept with a non-citrus man, and so he confronts her boss, a pineapple, who then tells him to calm down because actually lemon lady planned all of this and she is actually evil. And I wonder, who in the fuck is generating these? Is it a four year old men’s rights activist? Christ on a bike, AI is a blight
