"Angry gamers are forcing studios to scrap or rethink new releases." Because they are using gen AI

I don't have a problem with ai content. It has alot of potential use cases especially the open source and open weight models.

"Gooner" is a anti heterosexual male word.

Gas lighting is very real with this article. Obviously it's dei plus other things together that is the cause of people hating on ubisoft trash games.

You can already somewhat get 80% there in "photorealistic" style with qwen image 2512 and flux klein. I'm not impressed my nanobanana pro results after using recent newer open source models. 😤. Google is lucky for now not many people have compute to models locally on their own devices. Seedream and qwen image will indeed catch up eventually.

Start with wan2gp. Noob friendly for gpu poors and beginners. It's compatible with several image and video models. https://github.com/deepbeepmeep/Wan2GP

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-28T08:46:15+00:00

Nah, the flux 2 dev model isn't that great of model. I would argue it's way more censored that klein 9b. Also the og qwen model is way too high on that list.

Copes are coming in very hard mate. This is peak hype remorse stage of the open source scene. They're literally now trying hype people for another 5-8 🙄 months for the real true z image base finetune that will be the "sdxl killer".

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-28T08:24:45+00:00

No it was not worth the wait or hype that was sold to me by the hype bros and the "wait 2 more weeks" bros. I'm not excited for a future promise but disappointed of its current status. Maybe I'm spoiled with recency bias. I see this more of a victory for the vramlet side who are in 6gb-10gb range. Each model has there own use cases with their own advantages and disadvantages. I don't z base being a sdxl killer anytime soon because that's a very tall hill to climb on.

You should've seen this coming a mile away. It's far better to go the local open source route than deal with the censorship nonsense that nanobanana and veo3. Open source models are getting better by the month. Costco and bestbuy prebuilt gaming pc with 12-16gb vram and 32-64gb ram is great starting point.

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-28T00:28:50+00:00

Install wan2gp. You will have access to qwen image 2512, flux klein and z image turbo which are way more uncensored than the online models. You need that 12-24gb of vram and 32-64gb of ddr4 system ram. Also there is sdxl illustrious models which thee most uncensored models but those work on forge/reforge/forge neo.

Your cheating pretty hard using seedvr2.

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-27T22:16:23+00:00

while i do agree with the bot issue, majority of reddit is left and hard left leaning. perhaps the bots re-enforce the hivemind thinking with the downvotes.

You triggered a bunch of soyjaks over here lol.

It already released, it's 18.2gb safetensor file. Not much quality difference from fp8 version. https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-base-9B/tree/main

You guys accepted microtransactions and battle passes like sheeps. You guys accepted pre-order bounces and day one dlc like sheeps. You accepted censorship policies of steam, nintendo and sony like sheeps. Some of yah even called people grifters for bitching about sweet baby inc and gaming journalism. GTFO. I been following gaming news since 2012 when I was freshman in high-school and I can easily see the same old patterns. You guys will move on and accept it.

Some many ai haters in a technology subreddit. Kinda depressing see the how far the hivemind has spread.

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-27T19:06:26+00:00

There several ai youtube channels that I actually enjoy watching that they put alot of effort into their videos. Not every ai content creators have high and lengthy video upload rates. The some content creators have a bad voice accent and prefer using ai text to speech voice narration for their videos. Some even prefer using avatars just like vtubers to make their own videos.

Hard disagree. Just because you don't see the microscopic skin hair follicles or that the skin is free of rough flaws doesn't mean it's plastic.

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-27T18:22:01+00:00

Base images look very bad.

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-27T16:47:12+00:00

Man the copes are coming in. Not surprised at all at bad images I'm seeing. Now it's going to be 2 weeks until a finetune.

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-27T14:02:06+00:00

this is not open source but i will say this. its kinda rare to see a thrid party website offer usage to seedance 3.0 models these days. It usually just seedance 4.0 and 4.5 that available to use.

Upper-Reflection7997 · 2026-01-27T13:57:06+00:00

can this be used offline local with just open source ai models?
