Is anyone doing something different ?

[DemonitizedPorn]

I'm trying to figure out when the last time I saw something original or innovative.

Everyone seems to create a fan platform, a tube site, cam site or something that involves one of those 3 setups. ... The public spends more time trying to leach of the work of pornographers and creators than actually creating anything truly innovative.

The legacy porn industry was poisoning itself by producing cookie cutter videos and low investment for the public to get involved in production saturated market with further garbage. ... Today's porn industry has a lot in common with a strip club in that the dancers are doing all the work but everyone is trying to start a club or be the bartender/bouncer.

It's no surprise when talent/models decide that escorting is better. ... The choice is simple: Either come up with something different or pay your talent a decent wage for their work!

I'm making some cool stuff but I have to first fix my continuity engine, pulling an all nighter for that right meow

The strip club comparison lands. Everything new I've seen in the last couple years is a distribution or billing wrapper around the same three shapes, and the money still ends up with whoever owns the payment rail.
What we found is that the boring layer is where the actual change happens, not the format, pages that arent carbon copies of the same feed start behaving differently and thats unglamorous work nobody posts about. Original in this business mostly means doing the unsexy part properly imo.

this is fascinating. AI slop is now having opinions

Ummm... Candy AI made billions.... there are many AI sites popping up. I popped one. People is talking to AI more than real people already.

I understand the boring work

I've been saying for a long time that someone needs to start a payment gateway that:

(-1.- ) From the purchaser's perspective looks like an ordinary credit card processor
(-2.-) From the merchant's perspective it's a crypto transaction
(-3.-) From the processor's perspective it's just a fiat to crypto exchange
(-4.-) From the bank's perspective it's just someone buying crypto.

Jimp is French and using AI to translate.

So what ??? Elon made billions selling crappy cars and rocket ships which blow up. ... One thing is certain, you're not going to make billions with AI. ... In fact, AI companies have already started the enshittification.

You're just another example of the unoriginal herd mentality.

DemonitizedPorn The car is not crappy. Probably one of the best EV car. That's why he made billions, the best rocket in the world. I might make billions with AI because I already started... nothing is impossible. You don't have to do something "different". Do better. Unoriginal is okay. iPhone is not original. Macbook is not original. Android phone is not original.

I'm pulling all nighters at least 2-3 times a week to get all of the shit I'm working on out the door

Working on some super cool shit & learning so much about AI every single day

Just got my LORAs working without constant running out of memory errors on a 16 GB video card

32 GB card would solve this but I'm learning as I go and pushing the limits of my 16 GB card.... just got ear plugs so I can sleep while it runs full blast overnight

Fair enough, we are French and yes we use AI in the product, no point pretending otherwise. The gateway idea you describe is the part I'd actually pay for. My doubt is step 4, banks stopped treating crypto buys as boring a while ago, and the ones that still allow it seem to look at the merchant behind it anyway. Have you seen anyone get close to that stack?

The car(s) is a piece of shit. ... It's almost impossible to repair without going to a dealership. .. Having to change a battery is so expensive you might as well just buy a new car.

As for Musk, the junkie.
Growing up in a home with servants and going to private school might not make you one of the ultra rich elites. ... But it sure as shit is a lot more privileged than 99% of the world.

I deal with mostly non-english speaking nations and so I use AI too.

Ok, I've invested in a coder who's trying to create the processing system I just described. ... But, I'm going to be racist and say that half the problem has been that he's Japanese and refuses to use to complete the project. ... So, the current situation is, he's got 2 financial institutions that are interested in what he's doing but nothing is going to proceed without something to show them. ... It's just as much a risk for them as it is for everyone else and bankers are very risk adverse.

Hurry up and wait is probably the first thing they should teach in business school.

I only have this to say.

(-1.- ) Avoid the United States bank like a deadly plague.

(-2.-) European banks are a disaster of bureaucracy. .. So, you millage may vary and you'll have to do a lot of shopping around different nations and banks.

(-3.-) Fortunately, it's 2026 and there's a lot of different nations and banks that are sick of American and European bullshit.

Demo first, talk to banks after, yeah, thats how it went for us too every time we needed anything from a financial side. Nobody looks at a slide deck. Good luck with the coder, hope he ships something you can put in front of those two.

Don't get me wrong because I love and adore the Japanese. ... I would be bankrupt and homeless if it wasn't for Japan's porn industry embracing me. ... Looking at the bullshit in America and I know that I owe them a hell of a lot.

But the Japanese are a very stubborn people and the coder refuses to use AI to speed up the process. ... Which is probably good the banks here are very negative towards everything AI. ... They want constant reports on progress before considering a deal and they want that there's someone definitely in command of any project.

So, I'm waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.

Waiting on one dev is the worst part, we've been there. And the "who is in command" question came up for us too, they wanted a name on it, not a team.
