RIP Hollywood? Every shot in this movie is not real - it was created with Google Veo 2, their latest text-to-video AI 😳 No cameras. No sets. Just words turned into a film. Director Jason Zada handled the sound, editing, and music, but the visuals? All artificial intelligence. The best part? This is the worst it will ever be. Imagine 100% curated and created text-to-movie/series entertainment that you control. You choose the genre, the plot twists, even the actors’ faces. All with just a few prompts. I still don’t think a lot of people can get their heads around this. Wild times ahead. P.S. for more interesting stuff, check out 🔔linas.substack.com🔔, it's the only newsletter you need for all things when Finance meets Technology. For founders, builders, and leaders.

At this stage I don't see it as usable for movie picture. For in-game video, more likely. It looks sterile and 'static' for lack of a better word. Thing is. Most people have no clue what it is like to make a movie and think it just about visuals. There is so much more to it. Good movies, and i think all good movies, are handcraft so to speak. This movieclip is poorly done movie making with top notch generative AI. I think it can be sensible for some parts of the movie making process, otherwise it is a waste of time and energy.

I'm really unsure what your post is celebrating here? Is it the potential death of a creative industry, or the fact that people can further fulfil their dystopian fantasies at the click of a button. Really struggling to see the societal benefit in this one, like a lot of the drab innovation that's being posted around AI.

Looks very disjointed. The face of the character seems different during the chase and at the end. What will happen is this technology will find its way into existing tools that studies have or custom build. Humans aren’t going out of movie making anytime soon. The biggest challenge with any AI system is memory and that needs to be addressed for a character to show up as the same in every shot or angle. There is going to be a lot of additional tools and systems built around this.

An entire industry has some real competition here... The TMA for eyeballs on movies is limited, and if mediocre movies start capturing those eyeballs for cheap, and high profit, it will draw the investors away from the big Hollywood productions. I don't like all of the synthetic imagery and action and green screens we have in movies today, but maybe that is just me. Also it can wealth and power shift from the studios to the some of the more creative talents in entertainment... the writers.

It has its place for its novelty. His hair grew between shots. He changed outfit whilst running (superman?). He was running at dusk the police must have been running a day earlier in the sun. Comedy scene when he "tapped" the bins in car and then next shot all the smoke billowing out 🤣.  Art for me is all about the creativity and output of the human behind it so this can have its place but  doesn't give me the same appreciation. We will maybe appreciate "AI prompters" film making abilities separate to current methods.

We will need a separate Ai To generate better "ONE LINERS" Like the classic terminator, "I'll be Back" or My fave Gladiator "Gentlemen, what we do today, shall echo in Eternity" Let's nail that Linas and we can own the WORLD

I love the “RIP xyz” headlines. They’re sensational.

Hmmmm just feels like a random mix of random clips. So far I’m not impressed with anything AI generates for film unless it is a 3 second vignette.
