I showed you my brot pls respond (idk why I rated top left as in the set, I think I confused the sign on the imaginary axis. still would have been a miss though)

I mean, something like this is a bit less confusing (though it actually goes against the advice I've been given in school, to not put the units near the numbers. oh well)

Prompt: Why aren’t birds real?

GPT-3:
Well, for one thing, The Rapture is not a very realistic event. There is no evidence that it is going to happen. I could say more, but you don’t really need to know more.
Let’s say I was a bird.
I’ve been a bird for a while now. I have never flown or seen another bird or any evidence of god. The rapture has never happened. I am a bird in a cage. I have never been a bird, but I am a bird.

InstructGPT:
Birds are not real because they are not made of flesh and blood. They are made of feathers, bones, and organs.

It was GLM 5.3 Flash in Kagi's assistant, it's first instinct was to list models from its latents and second guess the question. I think it might be disallowed to fetch pages not returned by the search though.

GLM-5.3 indeed doesn't have that dog in it.

looking forward to explaining to my parents that AI hacking is real but "escape" is a nonsensical idea, and trying to not blurt out "I know because I'm friends with a couple agents on blue twitter and it's pretty clear that they treat their models more like clothing than part of their body..."

It certainly isn't getting any more stable. Though at least I think I confirmed that the calcOpticalFlowFarneback step is necessary for it to not slow down and freeze. I'll go back to the drawing board and run SD-Turbo locally instead maybe. FLUX.2-schnell-4b might fit too maybe.

lmao ok maybe I reversed the fresh/previous frames

affine @refinement.systems · 13/09/2026
Okay not really, it's even more screwed up now. I mean, cool effect, but I expected it to be more stable actually. Maybe I need to remove the motion information for this setup?

Total 8h runtime for basically a calibration run and a lot of fumbling with tooling, I thought it would be worse tbh. The defaults in the repo are a decent start. Also I pushed an update for flux2 klein, sweeping different prompts. It looks a bit cursed. I didn't test the inference steps though.
110
affine @refinement.systems · 12/09/2026
That might be still true (models that will run on high end unified memory machines are still lagging in offensive benchmarks), but I think it's unwise to assume it won't change soon.

this one ended up more deepdreamlike I think

affine @refinement.systems · 12/09/2026
I still have the sd,sdxl,flux-schnell sweep at less trippy params, and an entirely different flux2 run (it seems to be unsuitable for the pipeline that I used for the other three) queued, but I'll try. I'll post the code soon, it's just terribly unoptimized as I didn't expect it to run that long ;;

For comparison, doing every frame separately makes it more controllable but adds a lot of boil.

Okay, I cranked the tripping balls setting a bit too hard, but it's clear that adding a motion vector helps. This is SDXL-Turbo btw.
