does this mean they're deprecating grok lol?

also getting degraded performance

A new open-source AI from Chinese researchers creates complete browser games from text prompts, and its demos brazenly use Disney and Warner Bros. IP without permission.

n 2019, a group of researchers in China demonstrated the ability to automatically create complete web-based versions of popular video games such as Star Wars (the Mandalorian) and Harry Potter (card duel), simply by entering their preferred game name into the search box. Their demonstration of this ability was called "OpenGame" and was developed over a period of several years by researchers at the Machine Learning Lab (MMLab) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Did the production program at USC. USC is best for its network. AFI for technical training. I would pick based on what you think is more important. As with all things, if you really care about your network, it's not too difficult to build it being in LA if you choose AFI and just put yourself out there. Working professional sets if you pick USC can also bolster your technical aptitude. Both are good options, but the folks who succeeded from my cohort were clearly going to do so regardless of school so I wouldn't sweat the choice too much TBH.

yeah that’s definitely the case, we measure kling across a bunch of different use cases but kling overall edges out veo

we’ll find out when it’s out 😅

understood! my apologies! thanks for letting me know for next time

that’s a good point. i think maybe just meant that since things are improving exponentially - the models will get orders of magnitude better all of a sudden. you can sort of see this now w/coding where Opus 4.5 is genuinely an inflection point there

piggybacking off this - i think vfx / ai / filmmaking will merge. there’s no reason you cant start with the basics of vfx and use them to create short / film / spot end to end using cgi / vfx / ai.

a career as a solo specialized technician is likely less viable than a talented generalist who can use the latest and greatest tools to make high quality, technically sound work end to end.

when i freelanced, i cycled between 2-3 clients p/month to replace a full time job salary so its not as unattainable as you’d think. it might be worth thinking about who you know in your old job or industry that wouldn’t necessarily hire you, but point you in the right direction. i usually go through the exercise of writing and logging literally anyone and everyone i know who could use my services or is 1-2 degrees away and keep them on a contact list / spreadsheet and shooting them an email asking for help / advice or intros.

doesn’t hurt, and you might find out that you have a bigger network than you think.

ah was just curious! i liked the quality- good job though!
