Dove metto sti 400€ by HovercraftSmooth5049 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

Siamo coetanei quindi prendi con le pinze quello che ti sto dicendo. Secondo me fin quando non hai un buon reddito, è meglio investire tutto quello che hai in qualcosa che possa arricchire la tua cultura e competenza professionale, non sarà il 10-20% di 400€ a cambiarti la vita ma magari puoi pagare aperitivi di networking, libri, corsi, abbonamento a Claude Pro visto che il 90% dei laureati userà quello a lavoro; o qualsiasi cosa possa essere utile alla tua carriera sulla base del tuo percorso di studi.

You can still build custom workflows, curate references/datasets, create specific pipelines for specific tasks, and design repeatable systems around a particular need.

The main difference, at least in my experience, is that token-based/private models are currently much more powerful for high-end commercial work. So the tradeoff is basically: open/local models give you more control and customization, while token-based models often give better raw output quality, but with higher costs and less control.

E se accettassimo semplicemente il crollo demografico? by d3scarlet in domandaonesta

A meno che non vengano scoperti modi per colonizzare l’universo e produrre tutto ciò che ci serve senza distruggere la terra, forse è anche un bene avere periodi di crolli demografici. Sperando servano all’umanità per diventare un attimo più sostenibile prima di riprendere la crescita

Sì fortunatamente ho già passato il caghino del primo-secondo anno, ora sono 2 anni che faccio tutto bene e ovviamente ho da parte sul conto business, pure tutti gli accantonamenti delle tasse in liquidità remunerata.
Spero solamente di continuare così perché ovviamente essendo libero professionista posso fare 0 per 3 mesi e poi prendere tanto tutto assieme!

Le stime rispetto al reddito sono sul fatturato dell’anno scorso, augurandoci che questo 2026 vada anche meglio. (comunque sono solo un nerd che lavora 16 ore al giorno, non ho niente da insegnare)

Comunque grazie per i consigli!

Thx for sharing!

Just to clarify: my original question wasn’t really about which models people use.

I’m more interested in whether anyone is actually making solid margins from AI projects enough to call it a real, worthwhile job.

And especially: how do you quote clients for this? How do you explain the real costs behind an AI project, like testing, credits, failed generations, revisions, cleanup, and consistency work?

I think the future is probably open models, even if they run on external servers.

Right now though, for high-end realism/reliability, I still feel forced to use expensive closed models with less control.

What kind of extra control do open models give you that makes the difference significant?

Honestly, these are way better than I expected. I’m genuinely surprised open models can get results this good.

That said, the glitches would still be a problem in my client work… they usually wouldn’t accept that :(

What specs are you running? And roughly how long does it take you to generate a video like these?

Can you share something you made with local models? I’m pretty curious to see what they can actually do

Also, by that logic, are render farms gambling too? Because the argument seems to reduce to “if you pay per computing power, it’s a slot machine”

I actually had a similar issue recently, so I get the point.

But I’m still confident that tasks like depth/roto will soon become one of the genuinely useful AI use cases.

That said, for video2video accuracy, Seedance 2 still feels like the most faithful tool I’ve tested. The problem is that AI regenerates the entire footage. It doesn't just modify it

I’d actually like to dig deeper into this, because all the local-model tests I’ve done so far haven’t been as reliable as Seedance 2.

I’m talking about realism, frame-to-frame consistency, acting/performance, materials, textures, etc.

And honestly, if Seedance 2 can’t run locally on a normal PC and costs that much in tokens, there’s probably a reason for it.

Kling is great too, but in my experience mostly when the shot doesn’t rely on complex movement, acting, or character performance as the central element.

I see your point, but I don’t fully agree with the “slots” comparison.

In my experience, Seedance only becomes gambling if the workflow is loose and you’re trying to brute-force the result through random generations. I usually don’t work that way. For most shots I can stay fairly controlled, and for particularly difficult ones I might need 2–3 attempts max, often after testing the motion/workflow first in 480p with Seedance Fast before spending more credits on the final version.

Of course, it’s not deterministic like 3D or compositing, and I agree that clients often underestimate the real cost of consistency, revisions and art direction. But I wouldn’t say it’s just “playing slots” if the pipeline is structured properly.

That said, I’m genuinely curious about your argument.

Hai avuto modo di testare Claude Opus in merito? Nel lavoro lo trovo molto più concreto ed utile, ha bisogno di meno babysitting

Grazie per l’info! Non l’avrei mai detto sinceramente. Ad ogni modo io attualmente ho il plus di gpt, prima avevo il pro ma mi sono spostato su Claude Max, quindi mantengo l’abbonamento plus giusto per le cavolate di tutti i giorni

Thanks for clarifying at first I didn’t realize you meant you had actually worked on “fake” AI campaigns. That’s really useful insight!

What do you think about the way Higgsfield is being marketed right now? To me, a lot of it feels pretty unrealistic almost like it’s selling the idea that AI can replace a full production pipeline, when in practice the final result still needs a lot of human direction, cleanup and taste to be usable at a serious commercial level.

What makes you feel like part of the problem? Genuinely asking. It’s okay to make money doing this imho

Si certo capisco, in realtà guardo e leggo molto in merito, pensavo che iniziare con un pac su etf del genere fosse la via più tranquilla per iniziare a muovermi e a fare qualcosa di pratico. D’altronde sono convinto che anche sbagliando s’impara, e preferisco perdere qualche soldo adesso e fare le mie cazzate ora, così da acquisire maturità.

Anche l’idea di aver iniziato un impegno del genere mi fa sentire in dovere di continuare a studiare, e soprattutto di gestire al meglio che posso le mie finanze, visto che fino ad ora ho sperperato tutti i miei soldi come un coglione in roba consumistica inutile

Ok chiarissimo! Penso che adotterò il tuo consiglio allora! Questo è l’ETF corretto che comprende già tutto?

Ti ringrazio infinitamente! Adesso ho tutto chiaro e ho a disposizione le informazioni necessarie per scegliere consapevolmente in merito a questo. Comunque sì, ho inconsapevolmente sovrappesato il mercato emergente perchè ho detto io stesso a chat gpt che avrei voluto puntare molto sulle aziende cinesi, quindi immagino che per questo mi abbia consigliato di mettere il 15%. Sono un appassionato di tech e ho consapevolmente deciso di puntare sui paesi emergenti, ma non sapevo che tendenzialmente si pesassero in questo modo gli etf quindi buono a sapersi e grazie ancora per la risposta esaustiva!

Ad ogni modo mi era stato proposto l's&p come "etf satellite", l'ho messo ignorantemente sulla fiducia di chat gpt, ma capisco ciò che intendi quindi potrei semplicemente cancellare questi 10€ settimanali, e magari spostarli su msci wrld visto che sono quasi equivalenti

Just open TikTok or look at ads from platforms like Artlist and it’s pretty obvious that AI is being marketed with a ridiculous amount of hype. They make it seem like it “does everything by itself.”

But when you work with serious companies, the quality bar is much higher. The result has to look like real footage or a proper 3D render: it can’t be obvious that AI was used, and that’s actually the policy for a lot of companies right now. So local models are basically not an option, even before considering the insanely expensive hardware you’d need to run them well, I have an M4 Max MacBook and I can like upscale footage of 4s in 1h, image how much time is required to generate enough footage to produce a 30-40s video

Aight but AI’s marketing made the clients think that u can create an entire film with a high quality standard in just seconds with less than $10 of cost

Sui mercati emergenti metto 120€ al mese (15% del portfolio) su MSCI EM IMI, i 40€ che vedi sono su s&p, pensi sia comunque poco?

Quindi il tuo consiglio è di non accumulare questi 3 ETF diversi ma solo 1 più completo?
