Techno-Tricksters

Remember the excitement around the first Sora videos? 🎬 Luma AI seems vastly underrated. Now that skilled filmmakers are starting to use it, just look at this first video. It looks like a real movie! This is a clear example of how expert cherry-picking can create massive overhype. Luma AI is 99% of the Sora everyone was waiting for! It just requires the right hands, lots of repetition, and maybe a sprinkle of post-processing in a video editor. 🌟

🔥 The Gen3-Alpha is here – the latest text-to-video model! The video generation field is heating up, with new models being released almost every day. Runway has just unveiled their own model – it generates 10-second videos, which is longer than what competitors offer. The creators claim that Gen3-Alpha is the first in a series of models trained on Runway's new infrastructure for large-scale multimodal learning. The model has been significantly improved compared to Gen-2 in terms of accuracy, consistency, and motion. They say it's a step towards creating the much-hyped World Models. They promise enhanced control over generation with additional tools like Motion Brush, Advanced Camera Controls, and Director Mode. We'll see how it turns out. For now, the model is not available for public use, and there's not even a tech report. They've only shown examples on their website, which look impressive! We're eagerly waiting for something like this to be open-sourced at last. Check out the blog post with examples.

🇳🇴Norway has passed a new law. If a photo in an advertisement is retouched, the law requires a giant badge that says, "Character in advertisement retouched" 📸🚫 The law is said to be necessary so you don’t fall into depression looking in the mirror after walking past such ads on the street 🌚 So next time you consider making a DEEPFAKE consider not to promote it in Norway 😄
