Creator Archetypes
Three kinds of talent. One consent-aware roster.
A platform that treats a consented digital twin and an invented character as the same object will eventually get someone into trouble. JimFluencer models them as distinct types with distinct obligations.
HUMANReal Human
A working creator using the studio purely as a production facility.
No synthetic likeness involved. The creator shoots or supplies their own imagery and uses the planner, publisher, and vault to run their calendar at volume.
TWINDigital Twin
A consented likeness of a real person, trained to scale their own image.
A LoRA is trained on a dataset the person supplied and consented to. Face-Lock keeps the resemblance stable, and the Identity Vault records likeness and voice consent with timestamps.
VIRTUALVirtual Creator
An original character with no real-world counterpart.
Fully synthetic talent you own outright. Still requires AI disclosure on platforms that mandate synthetic-media labels, which the Trust Center checker handles.
LoRA Training
A training pipeline that admits when it has died
The most common failure in self-hosted LoRA training is not an error — it is a job that says TRAINING forever because the worker crashed without telling anyone. The state machine treats that as a first-class case.
PENDINGDataset uploaded, awaiting a free worker.DISPATCHEDClaimed by a worker, initialising CUDA.TRAININGStepping through epochs, heartbeat every few seconds.COMPLETEDWeights uploaded to your R2 bucket.FAILEDWorker reported an error, or rebooted mid-run.TIMED_OUTNo heartbeat for 120 seconds — presumed dead.Boot-time reconciliation
When a worker starts, it announces itself. Any job still marked DISPATCHED or TRAINING against that worker must be dangling — the worker cannot have survived — so those jobs transition immediately to FAILED with a clear reason rather than hanging indefinitely.
Retry without re-uploading
Failed and timed-out jobs expose Retry Training and Reset Job actions. Your uploaded image dataset is preserved throughout, so recovering from a worker crash never costs you the twenty minutes you spent curating it.
