Cost. Like for generative, something like Seedance 2.5 costs about one dollar per second of inference. So one unusable 30s generation is a waste of 30 dollars. Making a 5 minute video? $300 not counting failed generations. Make 70-80 minutes worth of frontier-quality video locally and you'll have saved money equivalent to the cost of a 5090.
Plus the privacy, plus not being reliant on companies run by wanna-be oligarchs.
Anon was mostly agreeing with you. Hotz is an idiot though, right up there with Yarvin in thinking dystopian prescriptions for society are the solution to issues rather that proven working examples from systems already implemented in some places. For instance Hotz's "Wirehead City" is a bullshit idea for dealing with homelessness when the Nordic "housing first" model has already completely solved the issue by simply not treating the homeless like vermin who've "opted out" or making them qualify for help by jumping through rehabilitation hoops and just providing them with homes right away and then adding the rehabilitation and jobs programs to those in need of it afterwards.
That people like Hotz and Yarvin know these successful models exist but still chose to put forth dehumanizing and vile ideas as their preferred methodology tells you how mentally bankrupt and not-so-subtlety evil they are.
On the subject of AI though I personally have no problems with the technology and do believe it capable of ushering in a amazing and beautiful future for humanity if we can keep the forces of the oligarchy from monopolizing the benefits and the forces of the luddites/anti-AI hate mob from crushing or stifling it in it's infancy.
It's almost like wanting to be a peasant slave to an unaccountable, unfathomably rich dictator and their "noble" family line forever after is fucking stupid.
It's about the American dollar continuing to lose it's status as the world's standard currency. It's bad for the US and good for China, we'll see whether it's bad for the world generally.

The site is a mix of Reddit and 4chan. Usernames are from the Reddit side anon is from the chan side. Some like one more than the other.
Comedy about dumb people getting wrapped up in crazy shit.

If you want to hate anything to do with AI do you mate. But don't leave the AI tag unblocked and post in an AIvideo sub about it.
