Interesting development, terrible company to have it. I cannot think of a company that has done more to use AI to take advantage of young and lonely people than CAI has.
and here you are, clutching pearls about AI girlfriends. lol. lmao.

Man, am I ever getting tired of replying to the same irrelevant points over and over again. > Most people would use these tools for personal use Not what we're talking about. Not "personalized media", not large studios "leveraging the technology", not "visual effects". See: "blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for <$1000".
Nothing I said was irrelevant. If you're unable to draw a line between the points I made and "blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for <$1000", that's on you.
There is no line, and you never claimed there was in your original comment, so stop moving the goalposts. Vague language like "personalized media becoming popular" is not the same thing as "blockbuster movies".
Calling my answer "short-sighted" when you couldn't be bothered to read the thread or apparently even the thing I was replying to is, in fact, on you.

That's not the other way around, that's my point. A scientific idea will eventually be accepted because its objective truth makes it inevitable in spite of resistance. Wide acceptance of AI movies is no more inevitable than wide acceptance of bellbottom jeans--it's simply a matter of like or dislike. From what I've seen, people have a strong aversion to it and no particular reason to overcome that aversion. So far no…

I see you responded to this point elsewhere in this thread, but frankly your reply is a non-sequitur. I'm not sure what you mean by it.

If people are interested, I could split up each of our MI300x into 4 and then charge $0.50 (1/4th our current rate). You'd get 48GB of vram instead of 32GB and it would be HBM3 instead of GDDR7 (5.3TB/s vs 1.7TB/s). The only catch is that I'd need to get 32 people who want VMs like this since I would have to do it for the entire box of compute. Wan2.2 runs just fine on AMD.
Vultr does this: https://www.vultr.com/pricing/#cloud-gpu Though only a shared A40/A100 are in that price range.
Vultr is a box of 8 minimum and not on-demand and they don't offer VMs.
On the other hand, I offer the bare minimum (1 GPU for 1 minute) (or 2, 4, 8x), on-demand, no-contract, and an API to automate it all. We also have 100G unlimited bandwidth and free IPv4. Oh and our 8x box specs are generally better... 122TB of enterprise NVMe.

Gonna be pretty hard to pass off a whole movie as real when none of the "actors" exist.
Nothing you see on a screen is real. (And long ago, a smart guy named Plato went even further than that.)
And yes, I'm well aware of the allegory of the cave. So is everyone. What I don't understand is why it's such a popular rhetorical device with people who have no discernible point but want to sound as if they do. It's actually quite ironic.

> How long until we see blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for Probably never. If AI is good enough to cover all the skills needed to do what would currently make a blockbuster movie for less than $1000, the demand for movies will be small enough relative to supply that there will be no such thing as a “blockbuster movie”
Just like with games visual are only part of the formula. In theory you can make a truly fantastic movie (or game) for next to nothing. I didnt believe this before The man from earth. That cost 200K but it didnt have to. Edit: perhaps 12 angry men was good enough at the time.
I recently watched it for the first time, and it was one of the best movies I've seen. I can't believe how invested I was, even though the plot was so simple.

The same argument could reasonably be used to explain why no YouTube influencer would ever get more than 1,000 subscribers - if everyone can upload videos that anyone can watch, nobody will really be famous because fame will become very evenly distributed, right?
How long until we see blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for <$1000?
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.

you're seeing them on reddit and twitter. they aren't normal people. normal people don't run a background check on $thing and its creators to determine whether they are allowed to like it or not.
As a matter of fact, all the actually normal people I talk to about AI in person also find it offputting.
