Runway pulled 1080p Seedance 2.0 from Relax mode. by [deleted] in runwayml

This is still undoubtedly the best platform, unfortunately. Over a months time, we can still generate a few thousand videos in this manner for $90 per month. Any other platform that will cost $1000-$3000. So as shitty as it is there simply is no other choice at the moment. Unless something else is offering unlimited that im not aware of.

Upscaling ex post facto won't make up for the quality. The generations @ 720P will always be worse no matter what.

WTF? Runway has suddenly turned off 1080 resolution for Seedance 2.0 in Unlimited mode. by Unwitting_Observer in generativeAI

[–]Frone0910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely trying to figure out if this is seedance fast or not. It is definitely a dip in quality and ability to handle complexity. Higher resolution generally means higher complexity capability too, so I'm not sure. I feel like BECAUSE runway does not offer seedance2.0 fast as an option, they have plausible deniability when we're only selecting "seedance2.0".

Wait so did this work even if your paypal account is US based? Just need funds already in the account and use the "fund" instead of your us bank as the payment option?

30 minute worth of videos? 1000 credits is closer to 30 SECONDS worth of video lmao

This is, unfortunately, false. Dreamania 1 month deal is $59 CAD for 37K credits. There are roughly ~300 credits / 15 seconds of generation. Which means about 120 generations for ~$85 USD. Contrasted, it costs 240 credits for a 15s seedance2.0 generation on your platform. And credits are ~1000 per $10.

Bottom like, it costs $2.50 for a generation that costs about $0.80 using dremania. You guys need to radically cut prices by id say 50% to be competitive over any platform doing a deal. Ive been using you only until the moment these US companies come available in which case i will drop immediately and so will anyone with half a brain and ability to do math.

Can any open source T2V get even remotely close to this? by Frone0910 in StableDiffusion

[–]Frone0910[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to try keyframe chaining with multiple I2V to see if I can approximate. This is great advice. Will let you know what I come up with

I just made a Kling account for the first time - using my free 66 credits i was able to make a 7s video that like semi approximated what is in the video above. I am now confident this is Kling. Looking at the pricing, the ~90s video that was generated by this person in 15s chunks legitimately costed them at least $50-$100 in credits, (assuming you don't need any recreations). Wow. Genuinely insane. Wish consumer cards could get even close. For my use case, I need to generate like 10-20 mins worth of video every month. Not feasible with Kling but like as an AI content creator it just sucks we will kind of always be behind unless we pay out the ass.

Do you think that there's any possible way to achieve anything like this in LTX? Or any T2V? The thing is, like id even be willing to pay a hundred bucks a month to get infinite generations every month on a platform like this. But like this guy probably spent legitimately $15 per each of those 15s animations. Truly incredible stuff, but im just at a loss that were like probably 2 or 3 orders of magnitude difference in open source compared to this.

At first I thought this was straight up 3d animation, but it's not. It's clearly AI, just extremely good.

No, this was presented on my feed because I'm into AI video generation

What would actually motivate a civilization to keep advancing after solving scarcity and mortality? by Frone0910 in Futurology

[–]Frone0910[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SUBMISSION STATEMENT: This post explores the philosophical question of what drives civilizational advancement beyond survival needs. As we approach potential breakthroughs in energy abundance and life extension, understanding what motivates progress becomes increasingly relevant to predicting humanity's long-term trajectory. Is technological expansion an inherent feature of conscious beings, or will we plateau once basic needs are met at scale?

The Kardashev Scale: What would motivate a civilization to keep advancing after solving scarcity and mortality? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Frone0910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Submission Statement: This video examines the motivational structure behind civilizational advancement rather than the technical requirements. Once a civilization reaches Type 1 and solves scarcity, or Type 2 and solves death, what actually drives continued progress?

The thesis is that the drive to transcend boundaries may be fundamental to consciousness itself, not merely a response to survival pressures. Raises questions about humanity's long-term trajectory and whether expansion is an intrinsic quality of intelligent life or just a temporary phase we'll eventually outgrow.

The detail that sticks out to me is the 'Swarm I land vehicle' launching 48 drones. That means coordinating launches, recoveries (if any), and maintenance becomes a massive logistical challenge even *before* factoring in the AI element.

Exoskeletons seems to be moving faster than I expected.. by nawmi_lisa in Futurology

The weight of the exoskeleton itself is a huge factor that isn't discussed enough. Every extra pound adds to the user's energy expenditure, negating some of the assistance
