AI Generated Images Anonymous 17-12-23 18:17:10 No.38215[Reply]

I recently got into AI generated images. Mostly for porn obviously. Anyways, I thought as a means of honing the craft and amusement why not make a thread about it. People can make a suggestion and as a form of training people try to make the best images that lives up to the suggestion. We can also talk about the technology itself and how to use it and what not.

The most important thing for Stable Diffusion is Regional prompting, otherwise the AI will not produce a proper image and have fucked up details all over.

RSS is a good way to notify of new articles. there's also a bulletin section, with links to other sites/magazines, kind of what news anon does. so that's two RSS feeds, one for original articles, one for links to news.

I'll give you all the mattress lowdown as far as I know it.

My store we sold mostly our own store brand which was made locally, and then a couple other random sealy, simmons, certa whatever. Most of the stuff that wasn't our store brand was Tempurpedic. So everyday we put out balloons and signs that say sales 25% off whatever, but that's all bullshit of course. With Tempurpedic, the price is fixed, we have to sell it for whatever the price is, but we can throw in extra incentives like free pillows or free whatever. But with the other mattresses and our store brand we can go as low basically as 20% margin which is considered our employee discount. So basically 20% would almost not even be a sale really, but that's about as low as you can go if you're desperate for a sale. So I would say the trick is, as a customer, to be polite and try to press on the price as much as you can without being rude. I've seen sales guys walk away from sales because they got pissed off at the customers haggling them. So it's really that sweet spot of negotiation just like it is from the sales guys perspective.

Personally I think our local store brand was better maybe. We sold natural rubber latex mattresses of various firmness and like I said, you can get it marked down significantly if you play your cards right.

Seems like all you need nowadays is a smartphone that can shoot HD video, a gimbal or tripod off of e-commerce platforms, and a computer with a decent GPU and RAM with something like kdenlive or Davinci Resolve installed on it
So I wonder why more people don't get into it
Surely there are people with the talent for it out there that obviously can't get into the gatekept oligopolic monstrosity that is Hollywood

>1. economic pressures towards short form content
Eh?
>2. Even just on the technical/logistical side of things, it takes WAY MORE than just good video to competently make a movie. Just for example, if you’re just using your phone’s mic to capture audio, be prepared to have the actors overdub EVERY line. Advances in consumer technology are making filmmaking cheaper, but there’s still a lot that goes into it, and not everybody is gonna have the time or money for making even a low budget indie movie.
Well, yeah, there's always hassle. Learning to deal with it is a big part of filmmaking.

Horror discussion from a leftist perspective /Leftyhorror/ 21-12-20 04:53:00 No.8914[Reply]

I've seen only a few other threads about horror on here and they seemed too specific, so I thought I'd make a broader one.

How do you feel about the current state of horror media? To me it seems at it's always been in a way; a mixed bag. However I feel like I've noticed this trend and, correct me if you think I'm wrong, a lot of more successful recent horror seems to be more creator-driven than in the past.

This is natural I think, as the internet has opened a lot of opportunities for more unique visions and riskier decisions that large studios would otherwise reject.

In a strange sort of symbiosis, though, these large studios attempt to acquire these successful creators and even properties for themselves; see the phenomenon of Slenderman for example. Once an entirely community made, solely internet creation has gotten several of his own movies, and has by and large become an 'artifact' of sorts of 2010's-era web. Studios cannibalize these unique properties and, once they've made some modicum of a profit, utterly destroy the integrity of them, leaving communities to look for the next big thing in horror.

With that aside, feel free to discuss almost literally anything horror related here; movies, books, ARGs, games, creepypasta (the rare good kind, if you can find any).
