> The creators of “Hell Grind” are also making striking claims. The film supposedly took just two weeks and $500,000 to make, per the WSJ. A full 80 percent of that went to compute costs; its creators describe it as a proof-of-concept for how AI can empower creatives who wouldn’t otherwise have the means to make a movie
I thought AI was supposed to be democratizing creativity and putting the power of Hollywood into the hands of regular people? What regular person can afford that kind of price tag? Isn't inference supposed to be cheap?
