    This is actually doable with ai.

    It would take a little while to do but it wouldn’t be too onerous and could be done entirely with open source models and tools.

    This is one of the best uses of the tech imo. Creating hilarious parodies of capitalist media.

      Wow you managed to have the absolute worst take possible.

      Part of the appeal of the Muppets is that it’s all practical effects with real human interaction. Removing that just spits on ol Jim’s corpse.

      Second is that if you’re so anti capitalist, you can’t be pro AI. It’s literally only owned by major corporations and is being used as a way to take even more means of production away from workers.

      I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you but you need to cut it out.

        I really don’t know what’s more anti capitalist than stealing content from literally every corporation that owns content to create software that is more often than not distributed for free that you can use however you see fit without them ever seeing a dime of it.

        So when I download an open weights image generation model created by Facebook, that’s even created from stolen content (they’re among the worst offenders) for free, and run it on my own machine, to produce something that only and those I choose to share it with have access to…

        Say I did this exact thing with the muppets and released it for free.

        Do you think hiring paid actors and licensing the muppets and artists to create a real muppets movie that’s then released only for those who will pay for it, for profit only, enriching the people that own this whole apparatus, is a more egalitarian take then doing it with ai and releasing it for free?

        What, it’s shitting on Jim Henson’s Memory if something doesn’t create profit?

        And I NEED to breathe. I NEED to shit.

        As far as what’s wrong with me. I don’t know. Understanding? Reason? Opposition to any system that profits off the backs of others’ hard work?

          You claim to have understanding and reason, but you are both for AI (which is entirely about profiting off of other people’s hard work) yet don’t like systems that profit off of other people’s hard work.

          Never talked to someone who’s never seen a mirror before, maybe you should try it sometime, get some self reflection.

            Sorry, do you think people are making money on ai?

            And you can understand that things aren’t either for or against right? Like, you’ve heard of nuance before?

            I am ABSOLUTELY for using a model made of stolen copyrighted works to replace all the human actors in a movie with muppets. Absolutely. 100%.

            I am NOT for profiting off that.

            And beyond this in the bigger sense: do you think anyone other than nvidia and computer hardware makers are profiting from ai?

            Who? Where? Because I haven’t heard of them.

            This shit is an expensive boondoggle that is NOT driving roi. At least that’s what literally everything everywhere and my own experience indicates, but if that’s incorrect then by all means show me the money.

            OH MY GOD I JUST LOOKED IN THE MIRROR. IT TURNS OUT IVE BEEN A HALF MAN HALF BAT CREATURE THIS ENTIRE TIME. I HAVE WINGS BRO. IM GONNA GO FLY AROUND A BIT AND EAT SOME FUCKING INSECTS.

              Bruv I was talking about Nvidia and then making profits while other companies slash overhead by replacing workers. You found the thing I was talking about, good job you magnificent bat boy

                Oh okay.

                So when I talk about using a Facebook model (which has already been trained) on my own pc (which I already own).

                Where’s tha profit exactly?

                If I’m confused about how egalitarian my hot take is - where is the money?

                You’ve agreed that the only people making money in this tech are the hardware manufacturers . So - are you opposed to the creation of computer hardware? Or just tech that could be used in ai?

                You said that you’re opposed to people profiting off the hard work of others - which I agree with. And would be commensurate with a stance opposing capitalism, and a stance against the creation of of hardware for profit. So am I understanding you correctly? Are you opposed to the production of computer hardware for profit?

                If I’m not understanding this correctly then your opposition doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. You’re talking about the dangers of people being replaced by this tech while I’m discussing altering a movie that’s already been made, for free, with software that developers have been paid (in some cases) to create but original ip owners have not, that is distributed for free, to create something that would be distributed for free.

                Who’s getting replaced here? Who’s making money off the backs of others except hardware manufacturers?

    Do the Muppets do Muppet things or are they doing the performances in the original style?

    I feel I would like dredd with Karl urban and zero changes to his performance, but the Muppets doing silly stuff.
