same i have the whole series on CD

There's a term to describe this: creative destruction, literally.

We are at the cusp of a full scale commoditization stage of generative AI that will impact all aspects of the creative/software fields.

If you want to know what this creative destruction will look like, look no further than previous centers of innovation like Detroit, the emptying naval shipyards of Busan, the zombie game studios around Osaka as a sign of things to come.

TLDR: AI is going to destroy a lot of white collar, high creativity, high intellect jobs that isn't protected by a union or occupational collective associations which were all created to counter against creative destructions from taking people's livelihoods away.

Unfortunately, 10 years ago when I tried to create a union organization for software engineers/designers and creative workers, it was sabotaged by fellow software engineers who seem highly susceptible to psyops much more than any other group.

We might see a repeat of what happened in Japan after mid 90s, when much of the country's stable and ample jobs disappeared thanks to internet, globalized financiering backed by authoritarian labour market.

Instead this time its not a communist country working together with bankers rather its a small group of technology companies pushing out bankers and creating a sort of a dystopian AI dominated labour field where humans no longer dumpster dive for wages but any remaining labour industry that AI cannot infiltrate aka ppl literally switching careers to stay employed because their old jobs were outsourced to AI.

I didn't even talk about the impact on wages (spoiler: it will enrich the 0.1% while shunning the 99.9% to temporary gigs and unstable employment not unlike regions which have experienced similar creative destruction back in the 90s and early 2000s).

It's hard to see a future without some sort of universal basic income and increased taxation on billionaires who will no longer be able to hide their assets offshore without facing serious headwinds not unlike how Chinese billionaires fear the CCP.

I'm not so sure how much that is relevant to Meta Movie Gen. I've tried all the tools: Luma, Runway, Kling

Luma is by far the worst and relatively compared to Runway and Kling by far produces the worst quality and unstable video. Runway has that distinctive "photo in the foreground with animated background" signature that turns many off.

Kling and Runway share that same "picture stability" issue that is rampant requiring several prompts before getting something usable (note I don't even include Luma because its output just isn't competitive imho).

This Meta Movie Gen seems to make heavy usage of SAM2 model which gets me super excited as I've always thought that would bring about that spatiotemporal golden chalice we always wanted, evident by the prompt based editing and tracking of objects in the scene (incredible achievement btw).

Until I have the tool ready to try I will withhold any prejudgements but from my own personal experiences with generative video, this Meta movie gen is quite possibly SOTA.

I simply have not seen this level of stability and confidence in output. Resolutional quality aside (which already Kling and Runway are at top of the game), the sheer amount of training data that Meta must have at disposal must be far more than what Kling (scrapes almost the entirety of Western content, copyrights be damned) and Runway can ever hope to acquire, plus the top notch talented researchers and deep learning experts they house and feed, makes me very optimistic that Meta and/or Google will achieve SOTA across the board.

Microsoft on the other hand has been puttering along by going all in on OpenAI (above, below and beside) which has been largely disappointing in terms of deliverability and performance and trying to stifle competition and protect its feeble economic moat via the recently failed regulatory capture attempt.

TLDR: this is quite possibly SOTA and Meta/Google have far more training data then anybody in the existing space. Luma is trash.

$157B marketcap means they need to 20x their current revenue of roughly 400 million dollars by next year...

But the revenue has flatlined and you can't raise your existing users cost by 20x...

It truly is a mystery as to how anybody throwing other peoples money hopes to get it back from OpenAI

is there anything that runs on WASM for scraping? the issue is that you need to enable flags and turn off other security features to scrape on your web browser and this is why its not popular but with WASM that might change

Never heard of Ace but in grade 3 iq of 137 in south africa

im not satisfied honestly

still feel like im in my 20s

its honestly overhanded

unless you work in sensitive positions

nobody gives a f about you

this is exactly why i dont want to meet hn'ers

what game has she made

this is why i became skeptical of openai's claims

if they shared the COT the grift wont work

its just RL
