#352As an owner of a Video Production studio, this kind of tech is blowing my mind and makes me equally excited and scared. I can see how we could incorporate such tools in our workflows, and at the same time I'm worried it'll be used to spam the internet with thousands and thousands of souless generated videos, making it even harder to look through the noise. A fun related experiment, I thought it was fun to see what ki…
I think some refer to this as the dead internet theory, e.g. AI content creation becomes the majority of media on the internet instead of humans posting (may be wrong in my explanation but think that's the premise). It's scary to think about it but seems plausible—like if someone can make an app with Tiktok-like ubiquity of only AI content. Although to your point I imagine there will be so much nonsensical noise that…

This just gave me a disturbingly vivid vision of exactly what you described. A seemingly likely future where everyone's in their homes scrolling endlessly on a TikTok-like app where there's literally infinite content being generated by the AI all the time, and as people like and dislike certain types of content, the AI just gets better and better at generating new videos...this is honestly kind of terrifying. I have no doubt this will exist one day, and that it'll print money for one company while billions of people are spending all their free time consuming it.

I love this! But after trying it a few times I got this result :). So fascinating. https://thismoviedoesnotexist.org/movie/the-terminator Brings up the age-old question of how much the learning in these models is just memorization. Though in cases like these it’s hard to tell.
Given Hollywood's proclivity to remake everything on a 20-year cycle, it seems completely appropriate to get a 2023 Terminator reboot in a 1920's style.

#355Clearly, attention really is all you need. Are GPU vendors (well, gpu vendor, as far as I can tell) focusing heavily on increasing VRAM? My understanding is that transformers are pretty quick to train, but have significant memory costs. When they say that video is infeasible with memory... does that mean that if we had enough memory (128? 256? gb) we would be able to realistically train such networks with temporal at…
Well, attention and aligned text+image datasets and diffusion processes... (and a fanatical devotion to the pope.)

Every 15 year old kid will be making their own blockbusters
Have you talked to the average 15 year old kid? Hell, have you talked to the average 50 year old? It will be the same as ever, a sea of absolute shit surrounding some true gems, be they from novel creativity or just excellent execution of well worn ground. The role of the trusted curator will rise and brands will gain more power. I am sure I will watch MY 15 year old's attempts, and maybe a few from my extended circl…

Why do you need consumers when you have machines making most of what you want? Then you just need to be able to trade things with other people who have different machines and resources from yourself to get the bits you can't have made by your machines.
Where do the inputs for the machines come from? ex: having a machine that generates CPUs out of sand and works for free would mean cheaper CPUs, but it would also mean a lot more employment in the sand industry, and there might not be a machine for creating sand. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
Large mining robots? Some dump trucks are already autonomous, I'm guessing excavators aren't far.

Well, what's so scary about this exactly? That's exactly what people do today on Tiktok, modulo the part where AI generates the content.

Ha - getting app too busy errors so can’t see your site…
Sorry about this, we're having a hard time handling the heavy traffic coming from Hacker News. Over 4k movies generated in just the last 2hours, this definitely impacts our servers performances, not mentioning our Stable Diffusion and GPT bills! hehe. Currently working to make things smoother!
This is normal, so appreciate growth
