Stable Video is Released, The Full Open.ai Saga, A strange Midjourney tip + A GPT that makes Moodboards
Design Industry AI News
The only winner in the?Open.AI saga was Netflix
If you haven't been following the firing and ultimate return of Sam Altman do yourself a favour and watch this recap video of all the twists and turns of this epic plot. This isn't strictly design-related but come on! The story of a billion-dollar company that will mostly like decide the future of AI in the world, I can't not cover it! The most common conclusion is that everyone wants to see Netflix's series.? We still don't know what instigated the firing but there are some huge and dirty accusations flying around, from Sam Altman sexually abusing his sister, to O.AI having created General Artificial Intelligence, to Sam being a lying, power-hungry,?deceitful?bully. At this point, pick your own conspiracy and slap on your tin hat. Why do?you think he got fired?
Why everyone is making AI video models
Stability AI launched Stable Video?a new video model this week, Facebook launched a new model last week, MidJourney who are releasing V6 in December also?has plans to move into video (although it's not clear if V6 will include video). Google also has their own Imagen Video model, not to mention market?leaders, Pika labs and Runway ML. So why are companies unrelated to the design industry getting involved, like FB and Google? The simple answer is that we live in the attention economy. Attention = Money (through ad spend and influence). Whoever controls the attention has the power. And as we've seen with YouTube and more recently Reels and TikTok people can't get enough of video. Like crack, its very moreish. Generative Video will "democratise" video creation. No need for expensive cameras, talent or weeks of animation pipeline. The cost will fall, the quality will rise?and the level of control you can direct with will be astounding. Stable Video is already lining up to be compatible with future?3D capabilities. I'm imagining 3D worlds generated from a video (Similar to people making Gaussian Splats from film scenes). And the launch page also teases "a new upcoming web experience featuring a Text-To-Video interface". And in all honesty, I think I was a little quick to judge FB's model on its aesthetics last week, watch this video to see how its trained differently and where it?performs better than other models...

Combining Midjourney's vary region with image references to create the surreal
Nick St. Pierre shared an odd little tip to allow you to get finer control over the vary region tool. Simply enable /remix mode and then add a reference image link to the prompt?while using the vary region tool.? That's a neat little trick I'd not thought of which could have you dropping your face into all kinds of different situations or creating some messed up memes. Let your imagination go wild! And combine it with the image weighting parameter for even more control --iw?[0-2]
