The Virtual Wild’s Post

Brands which try to create “retail theater” must incorporate at least some of what makes live theater special: a well-rehearsed production, immersive space, a particular energy, and the chance to make a lasting impression. Here are a few of our favorite examples: bit.ly/48cxvpP

Video generation is heating up.

#RunwayML showcases their Gen-3 Alpha #video model, in an answer to #LumaAI’s release of their #DreamMachine. BUT…👇 As I pointed out in prior posts, particularly with Luma’s history, expect updates to be small, but to arrive quickly. In other words, no one is going to be pushing out a massive update. The iterations between competition will be stepped, but fast and furious. I would expect the control challenge to be mostly figured out, with native 4K quality (and that means HDR, not just resolution), before the end of the decade. Presently, none of the American companies compare to what #SenseTime is offering. As I pointed out months ago, it’s Sora-level quality at 1080p, and it renders as a combo of cloud and edge, on a #smartphone. The American companies, to put it bluntly, are woefully behind, by 2-3 years in comparison, at least to market. The difference is simply that China doesn’t have the same concerns, or legislation, as there are in the west. Imagine the datasets from prompts, images, and video samples that SenseTime is getting as a consequence, by hundreds of millions of users making content. All of that goes into making the foundational model that much better, every hour, of every day. That’s why the American companies are behind, and if I were perhaps in #politics and #cybersecurity, that would make me sweat. Why? It’s totally possible to have their model on my smartphone.

Things are changing rapidly

One of the most overlooked words in this post by Runway may be "base model". This is the initial iteration with more (I'm sure much more) to come. This is and will be the 'least advanced' AI will EVER get. At this inflection point, we can't unsee what we've seen. Some potential use cases: 🎬 Advertising / Marketing (of course) >> higher conversion rates 🎬 Content Creation for Social Media >> online presence/engagement 🎬 Virtual Product Demonstrations: >> prototypes w/o physical expense 🎬 Training and Educational Materials >> interactive immersive learning 🎬 Entertainment / Media Production >> new level of creative expression 🎬 'Homemade' Family Movie Night >> watch your own creation What do you think about this release? Any relevant use cases for your business (or entertainment)?!

A long term research study on Effect of IR visible and UV and other radiations on the circadian rhythmn is the need of the hour.
