"Veo will cost more than hiring a lawyer" is a better way to explain the costs.

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

That's a lot of money.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s something like $300 for 10 minuets

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

It’s beyond lawyer rates

[–] SuperSleuth@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what if it generates something for you and it’s not good, do you get a few retries?
