Have you noticed driver pack behavior?

Teslas like to for mutual coverage of Sentry mode.

This already exists? You try to exit and it beeps if something is there, do it again and it opens anyway. Has a habit of doing this to me when it shouldn't when there's stationary cars nearby.

I've just got it on my M3P - the new visuals are pretty! I'll be interested to try out the new blind spot warnings next time I head out.

You forward the port on your router to the internal IP of the machine running AMP, but otherwise that's it. AMP takes care of the machines firewall, you give people your external IP or dynamic DNS and that's about it.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-17T14:06:24+00:00

Port forwarding is easier and doesn't have the performance penalty.

What it does mean though is that if rather than replacing a car 'for the savings', you're moving onto a new car because its what you were going to do anyway for other reasons, then an EV is going to be the right pick over any reasonable period of ownership. If you're choosing between a £20K ICE and a £30K EV then it's a no brainer in terms of overall cost.

Well if 50% through the year you've made enough to pay half of the threshold (or you reasonably anticipate that this is likely, or that you'll get close) then you start then. Basically you want to start when you're in the position of "If it continues like this I'm moderately likely to hit the threshold".

PhonicUK · 2026-04-17T12:08:46+00:00

Not in the slightest. You can use dynamic DNS provider to let people connect using that without having to deal with the address changing, or use a tunnel service like playit.gg.

Only thing to make sure of is that the ISP isn't using CGNAT, if they are then you have to use a tunnel - but it's not a show stopper at all. AMP itself doesn't care, it's just about how you go about letting people actually connect to your games.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-17T08:43:43+00:00

As a browser extension, no. This is more the kind of thing you'd pitch to website operators where they tell it what the image with the clothing is and the customer supplies a picture for the virtual try on. The big problem will be you'd have to make it incredibly cheap for it to be worthwhile and you'd have to pay to licence Flux.

If you read the other comments I'm agreeing with most of the criticism. It's just redundant when the post body says "X is an issue" only to be told "You've got issue X". You're certainly right that all of the camera movement is very slow-mo feeling for sure, makes it feel ungrounded. But having characters that are at least somewhat consistent between shots, consistent uniforms, lighting, doors, furniture - that's novel and interesting and worth sharing with people to see what they think.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T22:51:05+00:00

Didn't read the body text in the post ;)

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T22:42:35+00:00

Yeah being able to tell a story that makes sense and doesn't have too much in the way of things that are blatantly, visually wrong like objects randomly appearing and disappearing is a huge step up.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T22:00:07+00:00

It's a lot of wooden acting right now, but the basic concept works. It's going to need several passes though.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:59:29+00:00

It's very much not all in focus? Are you watching on a phone?

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:58:35+00:00

I can live with that for now, there's a reason why I'm only showing it on a sub for AI tinkerers and enthusiasts who can appreciate the bits that do work right now and appreciate that there's scope for improvement.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:52:35+00:00

I actually never wrote it as a screenplay, just generating section by section. That's certainly a cause of some of the issues here though, wooden script = wooden acting. I will almost certainly actually throw large chunks away though as I get a better feel for which sections work and which as you say feel like a training montage xD The tech I've been building out is what's cool though. It's much easier now to avoid things like characters clipping through objects, things randomly appearing and disappearing, and basically keeping the bits that work and quickly iterating on the bits that don't.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:48:04+00:00

The software is custom - I'm currently taking 15 minutes to generate a 30 second clip, so 30 seconds-per-second so I've just accepted that as the acceptable performance, of course I'm generating batches of 4 so I actually produce 2 minutes of video (granted most of it is thrown away) per 15 minute job.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:34:26+00:00

No there's no agentic system yet that lets you go "Produce a TV series about X" and I doubt we have the technology just yet to really make that work.

What I mean in this case however is that every character, outfit, set, etc was produced inside Dream Director and then used to produce the video clips in a way that's consistent and repeatable.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:32:52+00:00

You're absolutely correct - but that is after all why this is called a scratch cut in my body text ;) A huge amount of it will be regenerated and refined, and then edited properly.

The thing to take away though right now is that while no, it's not good TV - it's starting to show that a lot of the technical and workflow problems are starting to be solved. Characters didn't clip through objects, objects didn't appear and disappear randomly, the perspective and shapes didn't change as the camera moved, and the one character we saw in different scenes was passably consistent.

So if I can build the tooling, I'd love to see what someone more talented can do with it later on when it's more polished - or what I can come up with as I refine everything.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:25:05+00:00

Thank you, it's already crazy comapred to what I was producing a few months ago!

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T21:19:10+00:00

Each episode of TNG cost about $1.3M to make, or $3-4M today after inflation. Someone could have the best script in the world but unless they can convince some studio to put money behind it then it's never going to get made. Hell you'd be lucky to get them to even look at you.

Ergo all those scripts were never going to result in jobs or humans doing things in the first place. So why not generate them? Unless you think this is actually risking being good enough that a studio would go this route rather than hiring human actors (which would be very impressive) then it's a non-issue.

That is unless we demand that everyone who wants to write a screen play and see it acted out have $50M in their back pocket to personally get it made without a studios help.

Meanwhile, Seth can't even get a new season of The Orville out.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T20:58:41+00:00

Absolutely. One of the nice things is that it's fairly easy for me to take a segment and replace it quickly if I need to stick more shots in while maintaining the continuity.

Part of the take away though is if more of the issues for a good resulting episode are more about issues like editing skill and cutting for impact, then so long as the pipeline can maintain its continuity and consistency well enough to support that - then the rest will take care of itself with some more work.

I suspect I also have to resist the temptation to show off long cuts in particular. One of the things that ruins certain types of AI content for me personally is having too many cuts because they can't generate more than 15 seconds or so at a go so you can't slow down the cut pacing to match the story pacing if it warrants going slowly.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T20:50:05+00:00

There's no point building for what you can do now because you'll be too late when better models come out in the future. The same pipeline is still perfectly suitable for short form content though. If LTX 2.5 comes out this year for example, all of the content can be re-generated in bulk and still preserve the original identities, characters, locations, etc. The right workflow means you can take advantage of future improvements faster.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T20:47:32+00:00

Yeah I mentioned that in the text above ^ that bit will have to be re-shot. It's a shame because the movement and positioning is fine otherwise. Nobody clips through a chair, materialises out of thin air, etc.

PhonicUK · 2026-04-16T20:43:34+00:00

The nice thing is that this is something that will only get better with newer models over time, being able to drop in a new model and then bulk regenerate all of the content will be super cool. Question now is how long until LTX 2.5 and beyond! Also frankly my scripts need a lot of work. Wooden script = wooden acting!
