This is fantastic. I've been playing with Confyui for a while and I was wondering if MLOPs could be a similar tool, but within the Houdini interface - which would be just perfect! The problem with Confyui, at least for me, is the amount of information you have to put in the node itself - since it doesn't have a "Parameter view" like Houdini - and things can get visually confusing like this. I can't wait to start playing with MLOPs, thank you so much for this Moritz! - Alvaro

I appreciate y'all for this! Excited for more nerd rants to come

Amazing Thank you guys, this is very insightful!

Learning a lot of this from scratch and one thing I struggle to establish is what kind of math is required to do x y or z (learning everything would take years), so 18:00 thank you very much guys, linear algebra is another piece of the puzzle.

oh and the Terminator eyes just popped up after lolz!

Good discussion! One comment: somewhat counterintuitively, i think the rise of A.I. could take things back in a more "analog" direction. If you take a Pixar movie, and you watch it from start to finish, it's perfect, you won't (without pixel-peeping) find a single glitch or defect. Why i this? Because the people at Pixar have decided this must be so. But looking back at animation before digital, it wasn't perfect, there were plenty of rough edges, yet people seemed to enjoy it equally. So could it be that a new generation could learn to accept this less-than-perfect quality? Because what they get in return is something much more personally tailored for them, you could almost call it "story-on-demand". Perhaps you're sick of the formulaic Hollywood story structures, and you want personalized, rendered animation movies with stranger stories, well, that'll be possible. But it won't have that Pixar perfection, that's why i call it more "analog". Perhaps people will prefer that to the one-size-fits-all perfection? In the same way, computer programs may become more analog. Like a human doing a task won't be 100% repeatable or predictable each time, perhaps the new generation of A.I. applications will also have rougher edges, but will be more useful, because they'll be tailor made to our needs. So i want to push back a little on the general vibe of this pod that use of A.I. has a ceiling because it won't get you all the way to that perfection that is the current norm. Because it's possible that people will no longer demand that perfection. I think this is the danger of the current way of thinking about A.I. with regard to job replacement. Just a thought!

Still trying to wrap my head around the usefulness of MLOPs, I have it, but I've never felt a need to use it beyond the tutorials.

What is that ML tutorial series that was mentioned? at 19:12

Amazing project. something that was not mentioned about why someone would want to use stable diffusion in houdini: being able to create variations and automating tasks with any level of flexibility with pdg. Still didnt dive in the discord, very curious to see what people is doing with this tool

Is there anything like image-to-material maps coming? That's the only reason left to buy Sampler now.

are you guys ever going to make tutorials or nerd rants again? or will it be the chris kopic channel for all eternity now?

thanks for the nerdfo though =)

So, so good! I will make sure to listen in on all you have to say! pure gold! im also blessed having a gf that is a doctor in algebra so i get that for free as well :D

Didn't listen whole show, might mentioned, but If you know how much $$$$$$ need to train chatGPT etc you will be very surprised.... AI should be a helper, not a "replacement". Thinking of that AI will write programs for you, automatically devalue your skills and knowledge and will directly affects your paycheck. So, not much "fun"
