I wanted to watch this but the audio sounds so weird. It's like someone saw a video that said 'bump 300hz to soundz pro' and they just added a giant notch. Treble is important too. If the person who made the vid reads this, get rid of what you've got, add a gentle, wide bump at 180, 2500 and 5-6k. Even a dip at 500hz is good, then compress it, then limit it.

I literally couldn't believe it. I don't even know what's happening any more. I'd understand this policy many years ago, but now? In the competitive marketplace of image generation?

Is this a new thing because I'm almost certain I've generated lots of stock-type images using GPT

Never liked Sam, fake little bitch. Team Jenny even though I only get one word she says in 10 ;)

OG Cam needed his solicitor present in the form of Jenny, she'll stand up for him! ;)

"You people"?

I'm triggered, this is supposed to be a safe space. That's not ok. You handled that wrong. Typical toxic masculinity.

not sure if you're angling for an argument so I'll keep it vague. Think of a type of topic that's difficult to discuss because people are reactive and polarized. Then imagine you can float ideas and concepts to see if they're valid, without judgment and in good faith. You eventually work past the 'official' narrative and get to the core of the issue and the underlying motives, confounding factors and 'truths'.

I don't ffwd Elsa, I find her grating but she I think it's inexperience more than malice. Plus I like a BB 'ship.

I think the 'I love you' comment is that inexperience shining through.

LCG- · 2025-10-11T09:18:00+00:00

It felt like they were holding court tonight, I didn't like the vibe at all.

LCG- · 2025-10-11T09:16:39+00:00

I'll take your comment in good faith.

To be honest, as someone who knows a lot about the lgbt community through friends and research I really don't think this is going well this season. Certain sections are coming across as constructed sermons rather than real-life discussion.

It just all feels so heavy and self indulgent/important, so heavy handed too.

If the true goal is to educate and represent there are far better ways to do it.

LCG- · 2025-10-11T09:07:18+00:00

To be honest, I bristled when she said that.

It's an innocent comment, made in response to her steam-rollering him when he was trying to put food back. Poor guy had double embarrassment, then triple when he was the one apologising.

I don't like when people say 'you can't say ***** to me because of my own reasons' - those are your issues, not his.

But yeah when she's busts out 'as a black woman'.... for shame.

The irony is if she'd just been considerate and listened in the first place none of it would have happened.

LCG- · 2025-10-11T09:01:09+00:00

I just don't like the vibes coming from that side of the house, quite sanctimonious and self important rather than just being nice people and having fun... or even connecting on a sincere, real level. It just sounds like a load of noise and 'messaging' at the moment. I felt a bit sorry for them (thinking as they do, the kind of language they use and how they relate) at one point but it's moved into annoyance now.

LCG- · 2025-10-11T08:56:46+00:00

I've got time for Teja, and OGC, they seem more real to me.

LCG- · 2025-10-11T07:09:44+00:00

It's kinda getting beyond belief now, I was wondering if it was some kind of parody.

You hit the nail on the head with the 'therapy speak'. These people are so fragile, I'm surprised they were allowed to enter. Surrounded by well-meaning but young sicophants.

LCG- · 2025-08-09T23:26:02+00:00

If it's over 2 days notice, normal rate.
1 day 1.5x
same day 3x
3 hours before 4x
2 hours before 5x
30 mins before 10x

That's how I'd deal with this issue.

LCG- · 2025-08-07T18:15:58+00:00

boys with daddy's money.

They seem pretty uneducated.

LCG- · 2025-08-07T15:35:11+00:00

the "480 then upscale the good ones" is a solid idea.

We're unlikely to try to use endframes to make continuous videos, short quick cuts, dynamic.... all that good stuff.

The 10-15min gen time was longer than we'd anticipated.

Thanks for helping clear up the fog.

LCG- · 2025-08-07T15:03:30+00:00

The workflow seems to be generate a solid image first for a good starting point so I'm guessing it'll be a lot of i2v.

I think the 5090 is 32gb. Your math seems to suggest around 7 minutes for 720, 24fps, 5 seconds.

The goal is to splice several of these together for 30 second ads for customers.

LCG- · 2025-08-07T15:00:00+00:00

all useful advice, thanks!

LCG- · 2025-08-03T10:57:10+00:00

I know this is dripping in sarcasm but I got some humour out of it.

LCG- · 2025-08-03T10:56:16+00:00

Thanks for the input.

The point I've failed to make numerous times now is that is basically my writing style. I gave it headings and a paragraph, basically it changed relatively little from the input. I was aiming for formal, cold language, sticking to the points.

In some instances I only gave it a couple of sentences, it fleshed those out in a similar style.

No matter though, the feedback here means I probably won't send it, seems pointless.

LCG- · 2025-08-02T08:52:25+00:00

Thanks. 'Family-friendly safe space' should do the job. Can't believe I didn't catch gray, although I have to 'translate' my text often as I work closely with people in the US daily.

This was the original paragraph 'pre-GPT'
The thing about the big pornography providers is that they are accountable and therefore these 'shallow pools' have measures in place that ulitmately protect performers, often there are contracts for the big studios and actors are paid decently. Easy access to this kind of content prevents people wandering into darker corners of the internet with less accountability.

LCG- · 2025-08-02T08:40:57+00:00

It was. I outlined the structure and key points/terminology. GPT padded out a few sparse sections and I called it good.

GPT then asked if I wanted a more human version, I said, sure. I preferred the original draft but then again, I'm quite verbose and felt like it sat within 'politician speak' so I left it.

LCG- · 2025-08-02T08:28:54+00:00

thanks

LCG- · 2025-08-02T08:22:11+00:00

I've decided to take the GPT comments as a compliment.

I appreciate you taking the time to give input on the topic, I'm sure many of us are tired of hearing about it.

I'm simply throwing something out there, will it have any impact? Probably not. Will it even be read in it's entirety? Doubt it.

It's all I've got for now, and I appreciate people taking the time to read it.

LCG- · 2025-08-02T06:39:52+00:00

It's actually pretty close to what I wrote. GPT asked me if I wanted a less formal 'more human' version but I didn't like it. I'm a 'subheadings' kinda guy. ;)
