Have you ever considered that the solution to not having enough power is to generate more power, not curtail progress?
All of these data center should come with their own solar panel arrays and battery packs. Who knows with enough need they might each come with their own small nuclear reactor.
> Prompt: Make it look like the weird shape of my hand hole super zooms and magnifies the ground it's looking at in sharper quality. There's got to be a reason this is phrased so insanely, right?
Even weirder: > Prompt: A skeuomorphism stop motion explainer about how the brain hippocampus works with a compelling voiceover. Don’t add seahorses. No voice cuts at the end. Don’t add text Seahorses???
In my day job I program rigid body behaviour in real time amongst other simulations. I think rigid body contact is hard to learn as it is inherently discontinuous.. something you discover when trying to code a solver. As such I always use this prompt as a test: "A video of a jenga brick tower falling over as a brick is removed. The physics of each brick must be realistic." It gave me a video of where bricks suddenly…

Yes, each data center uses an entire lake of water. The hysterics are pretty sad and baseless.

It's funny how they specifically use the phrase "output that follows real-world physics" to describe the marble rolling video. At the end of the zigzag track, the marble jumps up for no reason. In a couple of other places it speeds up with no apparent energy source. It's still an amazing result, but they could have picked a better example for this claim!
I'm an AI optimist. But AI video is probably the one thing that does depress me. Seeing that we can make anything visually, there's nothing that impresses me visually. I watch a video that two years ago I would've thought was really cool, and now my first thought is, "Yawn, is this AI?". Video, more than anything else, is the place where I really care if something is AI or not. If I could get a TikTok that had no AI…
I think the opposite. It allows more people to be creative. Similar to how the DAW allowed more people to become musicians. You can produce a hit song with just a laptop now. Now you can have people producing videos without needing a crew of people.
Why are you assuming that a majority of people don't already have the means to make videos? Many people have access to a phone, laptop, and stable internet connection. What else do they really need? What's stopping them from using their phones to shoot home movies, making animations with MS Paint, recording themselves talking about a subject they're genuinely interested in, etc.?
>Now you can have people producing videos without needing a crew of people.
This is conflating production values with creativity. Mr. Beast's videos cost millions of dollars to film and produce, yet they're creatively bankrupt.

You get back as much as you put in. Just like with all generative tools the quality of the output depends on the quality of input. Slapping a prompt together will only get you so far, if you want the models to generate something really striking and unique you need to get your hands dirty. Gotta break out ComfyUI and build yourself a specific workflow, once you dig deep and understand how things are put together, why…
Where is this amazing stuff? Social media is a marketplace of ideas supposedly, so why haven't we seen a new wave of creators rise up in popularity?

Seedance 2 is amazing, compared with anything else American tech is producing. It does struggle with consistency like all other models. The other problem is Seedance is heavily censored because of copyright concerns.
> The other problem is Seedance is heavily censored because of copyright concerns. Instead of censoring, wouldn't it make sense to simply not train on copyrighted materials?
I think Hollywood is in for a rough era. The disruption is happening at break neck speeds.
