Infinite Slop and fal.live stream AI-generated video in real time
fal's tuned version of MiniMax's H3 generated video faster than viewers could watch it, powering Pieter Levels's chat-driven Infinite Slop stream and, days later, fal's own always-on AI television channels.

The indie developer Pieter Levels launched Infinite Slop, an endless AI-generated livestream in which viewers type into a chat and each message becomes the next clip to air. What made it possible was a speed threshold rather than a new capability: fal, which sponsored the project, had tuned MiniMax’s H3 video model into a first-party model it called H3 Max that generated clips faster than they could be watched — fal put the speed-up at roughly 35 times — so the queue stayed ahead of the audience with no loading pauses.
Levels added a “Slop News Network” segment that scanned X and Hacker News and turned breaking items into generated news clips, and reported a peak audience around 37,000 and a running cost near $4,000 a day with no advertising. The stream required no account to watch or steer.
fal followed with fal.live, its own set of always-on channels — labelled Chaos, Sitcom, Anime and Storybook — where, as the site put it, “the episode never wraps” and viewers vote on what happens next. Together the two marked the point at which generative video became cheap and fast enough to run as continuous television, arriving days before Runway previewed Solaris and feeding directly into the year’s argument about “AI slop” — an unbounded, on-demand supply of machine-made video with a human only in the chat.
