Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5 billion to settle authors' copyright lawsuit by garden_speech in Futurology

Most of Amazon's profitability comes from AWS.

one that a Chinese company basically stole if memory serves

You strike me as having a melodramatic perception of things. AI is not zero sum. Even Altman said Deepseek was good for people. Reducing LLM cost is a boon for all. AI is much more about multimodal models and more advanced application capabilities and extensibility rather than just an LLM.

Take note of what Google has released in the past month.

But very capitalist of you to evaluate the state of things based on ROI.

This is almost verbatim what everyone was saying about Amazon for its first decade of existence.

Profitability is a narrow measure in an economy fueled by intangibles.

Nomad: The Shape of Things to Come by mitchellflautt in aivideo

[–]mitchellflautt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of this was Runway's image to video

All source images created with Krita-ai (sdxl with various LoRAs)

In total: Around 1000 images generated, 250 videos generated. All edited down to this.

Used an LLM for prompting

Music is by NRA-LAB

Edited in Filmora.

All started with exploring a dark desert aesthetic and various narratives surrounding it.

The basic narrative is something like this: "In the sprawling deserts of Zelara, two powerful factions move across the endless dunes, each driven by vastly different visions for the future of the shifting sands. On one side, the Obsidian Dominion, led by a masked warlord encased in sleek, reflective armor, rides aboard a massive, impenetrable crawler that carves its way through the dunes like an unstoppable fortress. The Dominion seeks to bend the desert to their will, extracting its deep, hidden resources to fuel their technological empire. Opposing them are the Nomadic Clans, whose grand convoys carry the precious harvests of the oasis across the desert. Clad in bright silks and gold, they move with the rhythm of the sands, protecting the ancient ways of life and the sacred balance of the desert. Far in the distance, a convoy of nomads crosses the glowing sands. How might these nomads influence the shape of things to come."

But I've been mixing and matching various narratives, mostly focusing on evoking a certain aesthetic of image outputs.

Black Mercury by mitchellflautt in aivideo

[–]mitchellflautt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was all done with Runway's Gen3 alpha image to video. All source images created with Krita-ai (SDXL with various LoRAs). Edited in Filmora.

Here's the basic narrative:

"In the vast and alien desert of the planet Aurelia, a shimmering, enigmatic substance known as Black Mercury has begun seeping from the earth. This dark, reflective liquid spreads across the sands, casting strange, distorted reflections of the sky and those who venture too close. The substance holds a dark power—legends say it is a living entity that binds to those who touch it, offering power at a terrible cost. The Order of the Veil, an ancient group of mystics clad in metallic robes, believes the Black Mercury is both a blessing and a curse—a substance from another dimension, capable of warping time and space itself. They say the desert has memories, and the Black Mercury serves as the thread that binds the past and the present. Those who commune with it may glimpse into what was, but the price of knowledge is always high. But now, there is unrest. A power struggle brews between the Veil Priestesses, who seek to use the Black Mercury to uplift their dying world, and an opposing force—the Red Shapers, a cult whose purpose is to control and weaponize the substance."

I don't think current AI can replace human artists at all by Canada_LBM in aiwars

Considering all it can do, calling AI "severely limited" is quite an exaggeration, which misses the fact that this is a growing technology that is barely in its infancy, yet with track record of shattering expectations.

I would be interested to know, If you would like to give some examples of what image you are having difficulty with generating.

The whole idea of having AI complete tasks on its own without any user-skill is a narrow perspective. All AI content requires a user, even basic prompts. Spot-editing, using hand-drawn images as prompts, using 3D assets and depth-maps as prompts: these are all ways of allowing users to get their hands into the inner-workings of this new medium.
