micro take on the open vs closed ai debate:

most of the progress and experimentation is done by complete ai laypersons on civitai, comfy ui and silly tavern.

Consider this: we have hit the top of the S curve when it comes to compute and data.

The only way forward is brute force manual experimentation.

And this is done completely without financial or academic incentives.

The big advancements will come by a thousand little steps and comfy ui workflows made by an anon NEET in the chase for the perfect AI waifu. Not by some ai research lab or startup.

we will see break throughs when it comes to gaussian splatting and inpainting in 3d. We will be able to create our own 3d fantasy worlds and wear vr glasses all the time. The metaverse meme is surprisingly becoming real.

But it wont happen with a grand splash or a big product announcement. It will happen quietly in some anon NEET's cave.

Mark my words :D
