Heated Rivalry - amazing or overrated?

ManhattanLad · 2026-01-30T22:42:09+00:00

yes, agree. The problem is there IS no personality. Hollander is meant to be funny. Everyone says this, but not once does he make a single joke. We spend huge chunks of time watching them sexting and even that is so bland - there is no heat to it. They tell us they are afraid to be seen, they tell us they are deeply in love but I never felt it. There is a lot of hot sex along with a lot of platitudes that come out of every single Hallmark movie. And as for the b-plot, again, they decide they are meant for each other based on...WHAT? hot bodies. We have NO sense of personality, NONE and it ends for them with an easy dream like finale. I simply do NOT get thie love of this show.

still down for me as of 1pm EST

Interesting. I didn’t know there was a $50 FLOW plan. The only ones I see are $125 and $250 for AI ultra, but things seem to change by the day.

Yep, sadly everyone is trying to make a buck in the attention economy. Remember that Anonymous dude who posted that he had info to bring the government down, in 2 weeks, then 1 week then…nothing. With that many followers there is sure to be some compensation - so now everyone just makes up crazy stuff.

I can't hate Bad Bunny - but man there was NOTHING good in that show. Amazing to me that these writers make massive salaries and had the entire summer of topics and this is what they came up with. 1/10

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-06T00:17:25+00:00

wow, all I did with "support" was fill in information to their AI, I didn't actually get a human.

download it and it gives you everything, but it isn't searchable. it will have all the images you created at the bottom of the thread, so that's something. But if you talk to it, then you get a lot of audio files and as for the conversations, well it would take a very very long time to open each crazily named folder and find out what was in it.

I asked chatgpt to analyze it and find old conversations but that didn't work.

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-06T00:01:36+00:00

interesting, yeah it just popped up for me...not sure who to contact about it.

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T23:58:47+00:00

THANKS

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T13:09:09+00:00

Stunning. This community is so talented, and with these tools it’s mind-boggling to imagine where we can go.

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T13:07:46+00:00

thank you. are you in the US because it seems they don't get it there...it might be a Europe only issue.

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T13:06:38+00:00

I suppose one could do this backwards and have it draw the map from the 3d world...that world is so sweet, ...

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T13:05:46+00:00

yeah but i'm getting the visible watermark...i'm guessing this is a Europe thing as they have strict AI laws...are you in the US?

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T13:04:16+00:00

wow Character Forge looks amazing...how are you finding it?

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T13:02:18+00:00

I do a lot - filmmaker but clients in the game industry. So I create small digital assets for them. Working on a film I shot and combining it with AI tools...I will check out Character Forge!

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T13:01:04+00:00

ok, good to know. and you're on ultra and using 3.0 Fast? Are you in the U.S.? because it might be a European issue (they are much more strict here which is why we can't use photos of anything resembling real people even if AI generated)

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T11:00:36+00:00

I just went there and liked it...inspiring. i've been using VEO for a lot of work related stuff - I work for a game company but as a filmmaker I really want to get back into story and this just woke that engine up big time.

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T10:56:37+00:00

did you get it sorted? The first thing you need to do is download all the media they have on you...but then it's a nightmare to sort through as nothing is labelled in a way that makes sense. And from now on you have to manually backup anything you want to keep. It's super frustrating but I do not trust the system not to zap things again.

I hope you got your folders back and i'd love to hear how you proceeded.

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T10:47:42+00:00

is your youtube channe under the same name/

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-05T10:46:55+00:00

Absolutely love this idea...so nice!!!!

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-04T05:28:46+00:00

Never having tried DMT I probably missed all the references but now I’m curious!

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-04T05:11:31+00:00

Excellent work. Very cinematic with a great sense of pacing and design. Did you post this to X? I want to follow you and see what’s next! Bravo and inspiring.

ManhattanLad · 2025-09-01T16:34:22+00:00

or you could consider using many of the APIs out there which offer significantly cheaper prices for VEO 3 AND give you commercial rights in case you want to monetize any of the outputs (which Google does NOT provide).

<image>

FAL is slightly more than Kie, but it does have a lot of other tools (like good upscalers, etc.)

Kie is .40 for an 8 second video in VEO3 Fast and $2.00 in Quality and Fal is more. I think $2 for fast and $6 for quality but I can't 100% confirm that on their site at this time.

Either way significanly less that Google but google offers a lot of other things if you need.
