      because as we all know, everything in the soviet union was red with a hammer and sickle on it. there was no civilian culture or pop culture or kids media. everything was military and government-oriented, and above all, russian.

      if the lord of the rings had been made in the soviet union, it wouldn’t have been a story about how human endeavour could conquer hate and bring about world peace and justice, no nothing like that, it would be regular lord of the rings except “vodka! it comes in pints?” “i never thought i’d die fighting side by side with a kazakh” “what about side by side with a COMЯДDЭ” and then at dawn gandalf wearing an inexplicable red fur hat rides in on a white T-34 holding an AK that shoots light beams as the soviet anthem plays

    I wish it didn’t require a $3k video card to do efficiently otherwise I’d so play around with text to video, image to video, and make my own fun slop. Oh also the killing the planet part and drinking up all out potable water is a major turn off too, but that’s a me problem, most techbros don’t give a flying fuck about a livable environment.

      I think it’s absolutely worth setting up local image gen/text models if you’re interested in the tech. My computer is more than 8 years old and generates images fine, it just takes longer to do it. Local video gen is probably still a ways off being viable though.

      Making slop is a fun activity.

      I am running AI models on a 4GB RTX 2050.

      Why is it that people won’t even download a free and open motherfucking source program and model and test it out?
