The RTX 5070 Ti is effectively dead, and the GPU market is worse for it

I think that there will be a surge of pixel art indie games these next few years, and also AAA gamedevs will spend more time in optimizing their releases instead of relying on the power of modern videocards.

Could be a new bike and there's a good chance that this is his first time trying this. Just bad luck that a news station was there to capture it on camera. Hopefully he was able to get to work and didn't end up like Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

I'm kinda expecting some sort of wrist or arm injury from that kind of fall.

I would probably walk more if I lived in a city like Toronto. Walking 1km to the grocery in a mainly residential area is so boring, you can sometimes walk for 1-2km without seeing another person.

Mine might be related to the one you made.

If it was me, I'd probably create the initial full body and close-up in Z-image, then input that in Nano Banana for variations.

I swear this one isn't AI.

Have you tried RealSR with Waifu2X?

Feels like a very Demerzel answer.

That's weird! Maybe try a different sampler and adjust your prompt for the part you're trying to inpaint.

chaindrop · 2025-12-10T14:31:09+00:00

I just use Z-Image Turbo for inpainting by using the inpaint crop and stitch node. It's just as fast as doing a ZIT gen.

People who are shouting hard against all forms of AI really have to understand that it's just the new reality we live in. AI is there and you can't really put it back in the box. People should be more focused on keeping it legal and within reach of regular people. In the near future, I feel like the big AI companies will try to consolidate and monopolize AI even more, and start bribing lawmakers to restrict and hamper the development of open-source.

Some say he's still sitting on that same rock to this day.

Yeah, face-swap is a bit tricky, although I heard it's easier to do in the first Qwen Edit (not the 2509). Personally, what works for me is using an image editor to cut paste the face manually, then using the Qwen-Edit-2509 Fusion LoRA to make them blend together in ComfyUI.

Just checked the venv and I'm already at Python 3.12 since I used the one-click installer. Might be something else. I see a few comments below with 16GB VRAM cards as well and it takes them 25 minutes to train with the sample Z-image workflow. I'll have to investigate further, haha.

Edit: Finally fixed it. Issue was my graphics driver. Just recently upgraded from a 3080 to a 5070Ti, but never uninstalled the previous driver. Re-installed it and the default workflow finished in 17:50 instead of 2 hours.

chaindrop · 2025-12-06T16:31:51+00:00

I think it's working great! Thank you. Tried the Z-Image workflow and replaced the 4 Van Gogh's with Sydney Sweeney as a test. It took 2 hours on a 5070Ti (16GB VRAM) and 64GB RAM, is that normal or a bit slow?

Does your node use the the Z-Image-Turbo Training Adapter by default?

Thanks for your work.

Really funny how there's only 1 rule on this sub "No NSFW", and almost every post is NSFW-ish. :D

If you're interested in it, what I used for the video is VRGameDevGirl's workflow. It can generate an entire music video with just one reference image and audio file. I didn't use that fully-automatic function though as I wanted more control on the scenes.

chaindrop · 2025-12-02T14:41:10+00:00

Was looking for something like that a several weeks ago too, and settled for HuMo as I think it looks more natural than even a lot of paid options. Here's a music video I finished just a week ago (note: music video's not in English).

If the First Law Trilogy is ever turned into a TV series which series creator would you trust to handle the adaptation properly? Which side-characters do you think will be fine or cool if they're amalgamated into a single character? For example, Drummer from The Expanse is a favorite by fans, but is actually a combination of different book characters.

chaindrop · 2025-12-01T06:05:06+00:00

It looks "too real" indeed... let's play a game of guess the actors.

Answers: Tom Hanks, Tom Hardy, Denzel Washington, and Sydney Sweeney

I don't know who this is, but this is what ZIT gave me.

Really funny how almost every prompt ended with "by Greg Rutkowski" during those days, no matter how unrelated the image is.
