As an owner of a Video Production studio, this kind of tech is blowing my mind and makes me equally excited and scared. I can see how we could incorporate such tools in our workflows, and at the same time I'm worried it'll be used to spam the internet with thousands and thousands of souless generated videos, making it even harder to look through the noise. A fun related experiment, I thought it was fun to see what ki…

Saw this clip today in response to a tweet by musk saying a cyber truck can act as a boat. I thought either this was made by an AI or it will be soon.

> I'm worried it'll be used to spam the internet with thousands and thousands of souless generated videos I agree, and I think when that happens, it will tend to increase the value of curation. High quality curation that is, probably done mostly by hand, as opposed to the at-best-mediocre automated curation that is commonly used. It could be bad for things like YouTube, for example. I think there will be an arms race…

The volume will increase so much that the only choice will be automated curation tools, at least as a first pass. The arms race is on.

Imagine being able to spin up a completely novel movie on netflix

If you look out long-term, 2030s and 2040s, this is where all of this is likely going.

Right now the pool of content you might be interested in is constrained to all the content that has been made. But there may be better content that does not exist yet that you would be even more interested in. The future is going to be very weird, but also very entertaining

Great idea! Under the current system, the rich can do just that while everyone else literally starves to death :)

Then the rich will have no consumers.

Why do you need consumers when you have machines making most of what you want? Then you just need to be able to trade things with other people who have different machines and resources from yourself to get the bits you can't have made by your machines.

Whenever there is an explosion of content, curation and search become important. Meta has many of the products people use to show off their taste, so having more content to curate and share is good for their ecosystem (until people stop consuming as much because they know they can produce even better with their own imagination). This may be good for Google - the more content there is, the more you need search to find…

It's not just about the quality of content. Facebook's value prop is about creating a social experience around the content.

AI is eating the world, and the vast majority of people are not paying attention. I don't know what artists, truck drivers, Uber/Lyft/taxi drivers, delivery drivers, programmers, doctors, judges, fast food workers, etc. are going to do.

Perhaps humanity would happily share the benefits of machine work and we can all spend idyllics lifes eating, laughing and loving while exploring the galaxy?

Under a different economic system maybe. Have you seen how our one actually works? See the film Elysium for a more plausible future.

What I want to see is a model that can generate 3D models for use in applications such as Blender. It would provide a good starting point for someone with talent to make beautiful. Or just save people like me time for making games.

Here's an attempt at doing that: https://dreamfusionpaper.github.io/

What's mind blowing is that you can extrapolate where this is going to go. Eventually, you will be able to generate full movie scenes from descriptions. What's interesting to me is how this is so similar to human imagination. Give me a description and I will fabricate the visuals in my mind. Some aspects will be detailed, others will be vague, or unimportant. Crazy to see how fast AI is progressing. Machines are appr…

Or full 3D scenes that are interactive?
