I continue to be happy with what Grok makes

Officially, video-generation features in apps like Grok are now behind a paywall in most regions. If you're still able to generate images or videos for free, you may be part of a limited rollout group, legacy access tier, or a test cohort that xAI hasn't fully phased out yet. This isn't formally documented, but it's been widely discussed in online communities.

Content moderation also appears to have tightened, especially in Europe. Due to stricter regulations and higher scrutiny around issues like deepfakes and explicit content, platforms are under more pressure to enforce safeguards. As a result, Grok now seems to apply stronger filtering for graphic or sensitive material, which makes it feel less "edgy" than before.

Since Grok is no longer freely accessible for me, I started looking for alternatives. I've been testing Google Flow for poster-to-video generation, and honestly, it's a bit frustrating. You often have to phrase prompts very carefully to get results that fall outside its "family-friendly" defaults. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

RIFFTRAX: THE INCREDIBLE 2-HEADED TRANSPLANT: An obsessed doctor sews the head of a maniacal rapist onto the body of a giant simpleton, because why not? With Bruce Dern, Pat Priest (who's yowsa-yowsa hot hot hot), and, for some reason, Casey Kasem. I'd seen the movie unriffed and forgotten most of it, which shouldn't really happen with a movie about a 2-headed rapist. Truth is, it's a bit too sleazy for Rifftrax---they do better with pure cheese---but the Casey Kasem jokes kept me laughing often enough. 3/5 (2.5/5 unriffed).

Makes sense now:

Tuna on pizza is not popular in America and is generally considered an uncommon or niche topping. While popular in Europe—often called pizza tonno—most Americans do not consume it on pizza, preferring meat-based toppings, and it is rarely found on standard US pizza chain menus.
