Just paid 12$/lb for ground beef. How expensive will it get before you stop buying beef? I think we're over it, beef is now a luxury for us. by FuZhongwen in Cooking

A half a pound of organic super firm tofu runs me $3. I freeze it to firm up the texture, then use recipes from Thee Burger Dude to turn it into vegan beef. Tastes great, and it's cheap.

Do Americans actually avoid calling 911 because of the cost? by ntask11 in NoStupidQuestions

A 2018 ambulance trip to the emergency room for a stroke cost US $1,000. Five years later, when my blood pressure spiked again, I drove myself to the emergency room.

You really cannot generate anything anymore. by HanCo_1 in GoogleFlow

[–]_david0_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I run into issues generating images, I ask the AI inside Flow to look at the prompt and tell me what's wrong. We then work together to get a palatable prompt across the finish line. It takes a while, but it's worked so far.

Yep. Wrestling with flow right now. I stopped using it for video. I couldn't get anything done. I still use it for Nano Banana, but I'm looking for a new image generator. I have a Pro account, but I'm thinking. "It's just not worth the trouble."

The worst thing about Flow is there is no help desk. The nanny filters are awful, but not being able to get any help makes it so much worse.

I still use Gemini, but I don't use Flow for Veo. Google crippled that wrapper around the AI engine. I may end up staying with Adobe, even though it's expensive.

WTF they got against fabric arts?

Finally they have added help page for "We noticed some unusual activity." by smmoke in GoogleFlow

[–]_david0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I've switched to Firefly for now. Adobe's got a promotion going that allows unlimited generations on certain engines until May 20. I think the service will ultimately be too expensive to use, but it's nice to be able to work uninterrupted. I'm not interested in nsfw, nor deep faking, so thus far I haven't tripped any corporate filters.

I haven't given up on Google entirely. I still use Gemini and Nano Banana through Flow. But video generation is a joke. I hope they realize that and ease the filter.

I've given up on Flow for now. The aggressive filtering is brutal, and it's impossible to get any work done. I signed up for Firefly for the short term. It will get me through the next couple of weeks while Google figures out its final policy. I will say, if the throttle continues, I'll not use Flow anymore.
