AI Runs 24/7 TV Network for $2 a Day
No humans needed: this AI creates endless weird TV for the cost of a coffee.
Deep Dive
A new project called SlopSoup TV is a live, never-ending pixel-art TV network where every script, character, voice, camera cut and schedule decision is made by models. It runs on one Hugging Face Space with 16 vCPU and no GPU, and real spend is about $2 a day while deployed and running.
It's made to be very absurd, dark and strange. You can check it out live on Hugging Face or YouTube.
Key Points
- SlopSoup TV is a 24/7 TV network where every part—scripts, voices, animation—is made by AI, with no human involvement.
- It runs on a single cloud server without a GPU and costs only about $2 per day to operate.
- The AI uses multiple models to create, judge, and improve content, ensuring it stays fresh and avoids repetition.
Why It Matters
This shows AI can run entire TV networks cheaply, potentially changing entertainment and media jobs.
