Same deal for laundry, dishes, farming-- there's so much stuff where human labor has been almost entirely eliminated, and people still bitch about the tiny remaining fraction. Ugh, you have to put the dishes in the box that effortlessly cleans them, and then take them out? That's bullshit. Where's my robot maid!
The most aggravating part is - it's just LLMs. Diffusion is also "generative AI" and keeps getting better. A blathering device for text is, eh, marginally useful? Text has not been difficult to crank out. I would know. But pulling video from thin air is witchcraft, and it's useful witchcraft. Worrying that studios will replace their CGI teams with A Guy is valid but probably shortsighted. The tech that turns whatever you have into whatever you describe lets any small team make anything they want, without a studio.
Video models obviate capital. You don't need an army of animators. You don't need sets, or actors, or whatever a key grip does. Having any of those things will improve your results - but they are now optional. We can look forward to true-to-life versions of all the weird shit that would otherwise be webcomics, fanfiction, blog posts, or what-ifs. Any Tumblr post that has people going 'oh man, I wish they'd do this!' can now simply be done, because they is us.
Anyway, it'll be neat to find out what high-powered chatbots are actually good for, once all the rich frauds stop insisting it's an oracle.
Right? Overwatch has the fat dwarf engineer, the chubby ice girl, the scrungly paraplegic pyromaniac, six distinct lesbians, and a gorilla. Wild variety of costume design and body type. It is almost impressive how every single character in Concord is... askew. They look like cheap cosplays of themselves.
It's genuinely that simple. Don't expect 3x ROI on whatever you budget, and then pour eight hojillion dollars into a seven-year gamble. If all you have to work with is fifteen salaries for a year, I guaranfuckingtee you that's enough to make a game, with drastically lower stakes for success or failure.
But of course these vultures actually mean, crunch crunch crunch, push out a real-money siphon, gamble on cloning last year's hits. What do the kids like these days? Horse girls? Sure, let's built a house opposite that moving ship.
Universal Monk is a right-wing spammer who feigns indifference when confronted. Just an infuriating time-vampire to deal with. The sort of prick who says 'just block me if you don't like it' and then keeps evading that by doing the exact same thing on any instance that will take him.
This cult of rich idiots is half of why anti-AI sentiments have become identarian kneejerk opposition. It is fucking impossible to have a sensible conversation about this technology, in any direction.
That's a little silly, because it's short-range enough to simply power via radio. Are there not NFC pressure sensors? One on Hackaday, at least.
