I’ll keep an eye out, but yeah looks like I shouldn’t get in line quite yet

This is a common argument, but the vast majority of people at home do not carry gravel or sand on a weekly basis. What they need is a rental truck for those items. The cost of 100k is ludicrous. Comparing to a rental truck you would need to be carrying raw material like that on average 2x a week to even break even with the payments.

What I wanted was a nice little ranger style truck - 2 seater, can pick up some lumber, decent sized bed, for in my garage. What they made was a giant crew cab monstrosity that takes up 2 parking spaces and costs 2x what I would have spent.

Car companies keep trying to tell us customers what we want then are surprised when we don’t buy.

Hi Poochie, you look like you have something to say!

And then they made him a weird ladies man that didn’t fit his character all. He was the poochie of parks and rec, and he wasn’t even added later

Same, if I’m spending my time I need more than the predictable super hero plot, I want something with character and heart. It’s hard to find but it is out there.

For theaters there are smaller indie ones that do play big titles. Search out your local area to find what may be around you. Those are the ones worth giving your money to. I just won’t go to AMC or Cinemark anymore on my own because of how low quality it is

Personally I can’t wait until Nvidia releases a new generation and they start shedding gpus. Helloooo secondary market!

2 people where at least one looks like a specific person who was not trained in the original model. As soon as you add something like a Lora into the mix it will try to make everyone like that person.

Honestly even stupider waste of money.

Not only a stupider app, but shouldn’t Sora/OpenAI be paying Disney then?

Ah another billion, that will do it!

Seriously, sora is impressive for what it does, 10 second text to speech models. You cannot make movies with text to speech. You will never get a consistent face, expression, anything. By definition they are unpredictable.

So you train some Loras to try to get a consistent face, but then the model only can make that face. So you can’t have 2 people in the video.

So you get into advanced sectioning of frames and you generate then you replace person A with this face and person B with that face.

And then we haven’t even gotten into backgrounds, consistent sets, or anything.

And they want to make a whole damn movie with it.

At this stage, it’s literally easier to learn real film editing than it is to prompt engineer 1 minute of continuous footage.

1 billion ain’t enough mouse.

Fair. I guess “Why” meaning Why would they need to be in that movie when it takes place 25 years before, well before either were born. Of course the why though is Money

Why?!

Good note, and good callout, we should always call out these things.

But yes if you’re self hosting and you both have a public facing instance and allow open registration, you are a much much braver person than I.

I’m guessing those seasoning crumbs are a pretty standard mixture, one that is easily googled, and can be bought for pennies compared to that bag. Some olive oil, that seasoning, and a bug bowl and you could have weeks of it ready to go

I’ve lived long enough where I definitely see this as the reason.

It starts with one person saying “hey wait, if we do this thing we waste a little less!”. Good intentions and idea. It grows and catches on. Companies see that and see the triple hitter: they can

• reduce overhead costs by not doing the wasteful thing
• go on a PR blitz making it look like they’re doing amazing things, people clapping all the way
• continue charging the same amount.

Happens all the time. Tipping is the best example. You feel bad for the driver or server so you tip a little more. Companies see this and make it easier for you to tip, saying they really value their workers and want to let you tell them. Meanwhile they do nothing for actual pay, screwing you and the employees at the same time.

I’ll try to be generous to your meme but it’s hard. I’ll say I used to be like that, part of the majority who thought going to a movie meant it needed to have action, a superhero, or magic. It gets tiring and repetitive though.

A recent example was train dreams. Me 10 years ago would have called it a snore fest. Now? I have much more respect for movies and it ripped me up inside. So this meme is very subjective on the individual

Now that I can’t believe. At some point it’s better to let the trees keep growing and make a plastic tree. We’re not talking about paper for newspaper or something consumable, were talking about an item we want to keep for a lifetime. I can’t believe that cutting down, setting up, and throwing out 70 real trees over a lifetime is better than one plastic.

I did, and deleted my comment just as I saw your message come in. Yes completely confused the faces

deleted by creator

However, some other things to consider, first where do you think the plastics in the artificial tree come from? That’s right, PETROLEUM

I mean, yeah of course that’s why it was the first thing I called out
