How long until we see blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for <$1000?
As with many things of human ideation and creation: If they can't understand distribution, a long time.

#12mindblowing - but still in the uncanny valley. and I guess it's cute that many of the characters live in a world where AI has caused an apocolypse, but is that really the message they want to lead with?
To be fair, a lot of movies in theaters have uncanny valleys. A lot of CGI feels that way to me.

#13Seems like the video model is based on Wan2.2. Lots of activity around Wan lately. It’s nice to see flexible open models make a strong showing against the massively funded closed competitors like OpenAI and Runway.
And Google.

Never. I've seen people instantly go from liking a static image to disliking it upon learning it was AI generated. The same applies to other kinds of media. No matter how "good" it is, knowing that it was created by an unfeeling algorithm ruins it for most people.

I don't know how long it will take for photorealistic movies but I'm looking forward to that Hyperion animated movie I'd make myself because nobody wants or is able to.

Based on that trailer we're a long, long way away. Ignoring the unsettling facial expressions of the human characters, there is zero visual (or audio) cohesion between the scenes. A full movie of such incoherent visuals would be a difficult watch.

#17Heh, I used to work for Nokia's Ovi - basically, gsuite for nokia phones (my group did map search) - the official explanation was "Ovi is Finnish for Door", the internal joke was "Ovi is Hungarian for Kindergarten". I couldn't find any backstory about the name here, though.

Never is a long time. The resistance will erode.

This is defo true until the moment it gets so good people can't tell.

#20Kinda terrifying. And it can run in 32GB of VRAM? Anyone with a 5090 can start spewing out believable fake videos.
The other option is to rent a 5090 in the cloud. Probably less than 0.50 per hour at most providers.
