If we won't have the option to maintain the files on the drive, I'd like the option to download the generated scripts before it's all wiped forever.

    Aww fudge. Wish I knew ahead of time so I could've used up my tokens. There were scenes I planned to use them on.

    Legal issues? I can see that if other VR/porn studios felt like it was copyright infringement to have their videos uploaded via your service or something,

    Or was it technological?

    We could all use some more explanation for this as the feature was hyped up a lot and those that got to use it REALLY liked it. It was probably my favorite thing about SLR in recent years.

      renstimpy11 That reddit post is insane! Definitely where things are headed. I can't believe how fast AI has evolved. Eventually AI passthrough videos you can generate yourself. Crazy times.

      Absolutely love the Drive feature on this site. Worth the money, we'll see how it progresses with whatever service comes next.

        svanir it's a combination of factors reflecting porn industry complexities. Doesn't really change much. The idea is strong and the tech is out there. You can think of AI Drive Hub or something

          Hairsational Legal issues sounds likely given the suddenness.

          It's hard to believe that people are naive enough to think this would end well - As an older and wiser user, never ever become a beta tester unless they pay you and forgod sake consumers shouldn't invest in something that is still being developed - It beggars belief !

          But again... it's entertainment for me

          I'd like to say this was a good move with regards to my streamlining comment due to the upcoming economic turbulence, but if this is gonna be relaunched under a different guise then it's just posponing economic losses.

          This tech needs to be less reliant on server space (costly to host and user) and either use downloaded tech / app that can create a mask on the fly similar to what i assume is used for the cams or create a dedicated downloadable app that will create a mask for a specific user scene with variables similar to codecs for user preference.

          Basically putting all the work back onto the user who have a decent computer with zero processing costs to SLR

          A one off cost for the downloadable software of $19.99 - I'd pay that to create my own masks of files / scenes i own - but there is not a chance in hell i would pay $6.99 per scene as proposed lol

          Also sell the tech under license to other studios

              I definitely second the idea that a standalone app downloadable for offline use where we could apply AI maps to our vids would be great. There would be no need for storage on SLR servers/space and then we could get around any legal issues as well since it would only be material we, the end users, would have access to.

              Otherwise, what is the plan if any currently to make this standalone AI/Drive/Hub thing? And what will differ about it that will make it permissible if it indeed was legal reasons? Or if it was technology issues/space issues, how it being standalone be better/feasible?

              Thanks

                Hairsational Same here. I questioned how this could be legal without getting sued when I first heard about this. I was told it was just like hosting by other companies so I let it go. I might not know much about computers but I do know business in America being an American.

                  agreed, have a standalone app thats like an "SLR Player" that can connect to the server, generate ai masks, and haptics, the ai mask and the haptic are encrypted so that hey can only be played within the app. Make the app like 10$ a month or something. you can keep the haptic/ai mask server side but the video file can be local.

                      The point of my suggestion of making this a standalone app, is exactly for that reason - Not reliant on online services so the app will work offline. Also to keep the costs down for both host and users - The idea of another subscription just makes me laugh as again the economies of the world are about to implode and the majority of users just won't pay on top of their subs - Maybe include the service with premium as a bonus for monthly subs to keep them tied in to their sub.

                      But offer the downloadable version as a one off payment on an app for $19.99 for lifetime subs as this is a new feature and shouldn't be expected.

                      It's quite simple provide users a downloadable app for eg $19.99 as a one off payments, possibly annual renewable payments if the app is constantly updated and supported.

                      Personally i won't pay for another subscription

                      Also i was watching a review of a Bosch washing machine on Youtube which had basic washing features hidden within an app and locked unless the user signed up to online Bosch Services - What type of idiot do you have to be to buy something like that ?

                      Every company is trying to coerce users into thinking they need a sub for basic life requirements - It's quite simple - They don't !

                      However, this is just a suggestion and won't happen anyway as obviously non of us actually understand how this tech works and whether it can be contained in an app.

                          It can easily, but the will is not there and not everyone has good enough hardware anyway.

                              You're probably right, i always just like to speak what i'm thinking (with exceptions) and throw suggestions out there as it can make others think about alternatives which may incorporate some of my ideas and come up with a better solution.

                              It would be a shame to waste good tech as half the work has already been done.

                              However, i understand now is not a good time for investment in new ideas and maybe this is just a cost cutting as a business it's probably time to batten down the hatches

                              In my other world i'm also just watching Boston Legal and the line ' It's the fat biggot and mr puffy tongue ' did make me chuckle - Americans really are good at this sort of stuff - Cheers being one of the best ever !

                                Sorry to hear you are going through it.

                                What are the chances you could allow the drive scripts to be downloaded as part of our 3+3 downloads a month?

                                If not for everyone, what are the chances you could just send me mine? Haha

                                considering its been stopped could those of us who have spent money on credits be given the ability to download the scripts we got created, that would be very cool

                                Oh well, already over it. How about lets turn our focus to much more interesting things such as "volumetric vr". This is something mindblowing that needs development and attention. Bring this to SLR
