So artists need paid but not code developers who host massive servers? How often do you pay an artist?
Comment on Pika Labs new generative AI video tool unveiled — and it looks like a big deal

Is this going to be available for free? And if so, to what extent? I’m not paying for AI, but would be cool to try it out.
I’ve also been burnt a few times by registering for some “free” AI service only to realise after putting in some actual effort into trying to create something that literally any actual value you might extract from it is gated behind a payment plan. This was the case when I tried generating voices, for example: spend an hour crafting something I like; generating any actual audio with it? Pay up. It’s like trying out a free MMO where you spend a long time creating your character just the way you want it only to be greeted by “trial over - subscribe now!”

Yeah got to stick to FOSS models that ideally can be self hosted (I count distributed systems here too though like pedals.dev)

Definitely not but there are already free models available from other companies.
There’s is stable diffusion video which is image to video. There is also anim diff, which is built of stable diffusion 1.5 and lets you do quite a lot. Both need a quality graphics card but you can run them using a service like runpod for a dollar an hour or so. Runpod lets you rent GPUs, so it’s not like those scammy AI sites. All of this takes a bit of know how though, it isn’t as easy as using a paid service like pika.
