Because if we don’t build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will
And that Torment Nexus will kill everyone who didn’t put their best into making that Torment Nexus a reality.
That’s Roku’s Basilisk
What about Roku’s Torment Nexus?
Because capitalism can’t wait to completely get rid of this pesky workers.

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.
Just going to drop this wiki link, so people know the precident set with this case is one of the driving causes for our current misery.
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.
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.
And that’s why Sora sucks, because it’s censored, closed weights, totally opaque, largely toolless, and peddled like spam.
Sora is the very beginning, just the first step.
Well the first step was into a fucking cow pie, so that doesn’t bode well for the next one
Huh? The first step is basically immediate generation of video that looks real.
What on earth are you talking about?
First step is to make slop feeds full of bullshit.
Am I the only one who can’t stand the editing / presentation here? He gave me a migraine in less than 60 seconds.
He’s cutting out the annoying filler words “um” “uh” etc and useless quiet/dead air. So yes you are the only one.
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.
