That's 2 eggs, per second. Or is that ½ an egg per second?
Either way, I can't lay eggs that fast...
How quickly can you lay eggs? Any non-zero answer is impressive. Negative is almost more confusing than impressive.
This is the stonk market yo, if I gotta go negative, I just push the eggs back in for later. Don't you?
....
No. Like, no....
Never.
Literally no one does that...
Are... Are you okay?
That’s about one egg per second
today...
That's a lot of money.
That’s something like $300 for 10 minuets
It’s beyond lawyer rates
It sounds better at $30/min. Still stupid expensive, so it better deliver. As of now only tech enthusiasts are using it to say "haha look what I made".
But when these video generators are more fleshed out they'll be competing with stock videos, and likely are now. The value proposition is there if you're a company buying custom imagery from professionals. Exciting to see how this plays out.
how many iterations until you get a minute of video you're happy with?
Good question. I bet there's decent money to be made in prompt engineering.
But what if it generates something for you and it’s not good, do you get a few retries?
- You may regenerate your video if you watch 10 minutes of other people's failed videos, and take this survey to gather your opinions of how they could be improved...
At least it’s not 50 cents per second of processing time.
