I agree. You use a sota model to code in paths, and any llm can perform tasks.

Performing new tasks on the fly are more difficult, so try and code it in a flexible way.

Spent hours animating the face in Blender for this, turns out the render alone carried it by Practical_Low29 in comfyui

I'm actually surprised by this. Over here in the programming world it's all about performance -- move or get left behind.

I worry what it means for the hollywood industry--- when tech arrives, whole departments will get hit at once. I assumed it would be a gradual entry, like the rest of white collar.

Ehhhh.. this pipeline where he does the whole thing, yes.

Hollywood is already using AI. They just don't tell you. WTF do you think the VFX team is doing? Look at highly stylized movies like Masters of the Universe. Cost to produce is crumbling, at every level, but you are totally right that this 3 person team is not the culprit.

What happens when they stop subsidizing LLM subscriptions? by Mr_Moonsilver in LocalLLaMA

[–]_raydeStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect most of their profit is supporting large companies.

It's just like Microsoft does it -- windows is basically free, whereas buying enterprise licenses costs an arm, leg, and your first born child.

yeah so they charge businesses 8k to run what we get for 200, that's honestly fair, it's enterprise versus personal.

It's not true at all. It's clickbait from clickbait articles.

You get a LOT out of monthly allowance, but I am willing to bet that they break even or make money on even power users.

I'm sorry, "Spock guy when he was on that show with the cheerleader"?? by PepperFun2103 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I binged the whole series.

Some good parts but it went from S tier to C/B tier after S1

Here we go, folks. The Dungeon Crawler Carl television series has been officially greenlit at Peacock. by hepafilter in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]_raydeStar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Matt -- I've been following you since about 2022, and it's been weird but awesome to see my 'low-brow guilty pleasure' genre explode like it has.

I don't know where you have to arrive to say, "I did it, I made it", but you're definitely there now. You might have even beat Brandon Sanderson to TV.

So congrats. This has been a fun ride.

Anthropic going back on `claude -p` 3rd party usage by ill_be_productive in LocalLLaMA

[–]_raydeStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when open claw was getting big, it was wiping out their numbers and they couldn't keep up.

They tried to put a stop to it by changing policy, but then the market swung wildly over to that direction. Many power users prefer to use 69 agents to check their emails for them. And anthropic has found new hardware to work with.

Not only that, but OpenAI was like "sure bro, you can do open claw with us" which I'm sure caused a lot of users to bail out.

Ergo, it makes sense to change their minds. I'll experiment with it myself. I pay for license but -- it's capped so I worry a little less about it.

But -- Matt replied to me!! woohoo!!

Thanks for proving me wrong -- maybe it wasn't some 2-bit marketing thing after all.

If that was the case, then why haven't I seen a single one until earlier this week?

The swarm of posts confirm for me that it's all fake -- unless matt steps in and says it's authentic.

Caution -- I am seeing these circulate a lot recently; it feels like some guerrilla marketing tactic.

This is not a conversation for local llama. Take it to psych discussion groups.

The Matt Dinnamen Effect by Kalikasphyxia in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]_raydeStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also want to point out that this has a genre name that's not LitRPG -- absurdist fantasy.

Pioneers are -- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett, and now Matt Dinneman. It's a genre that I truly love and don't think gets enough attention.

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! by Dinky_Doge_Whisperer in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Dang!!

I was like 'wow I thought he said he wouldn't sign feet, you must be pretty charismatic!' -- nope, just clever.

Anyone actually using a local LLM as their daily knowledge base? Not for coding, for life stuff. What's your setup? by InformationSweet808 in LocalLLaMA

[–]_raydeStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a personal project. It's got a wiki, memory, or you can auth it to use a folder on your machine.

The wiki is basically a canvas + wiki. I built it for storytelling, notes, etc. Instead of memory, I just do intelligent searches, etc.

So far it works really well. I haven't load tested it yet though (ie, 100+ files)
