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

    That’s 2 eggs, per second.

    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. Don’t you?

    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…
