This is going to take movie making to another level because now we can: 1. Generate a full scene 2. Generate a character with specific movements.

Combine these 2, and we can have moving cameras as needed (long takes). This is going to make storytelling very expressive.

Incredible times! Here's a bet: We'll have a AI superstar (A-list level) in the next 12 months.

An a-list level actor superstar within 12 months?

I’m willing to take that bet. Name any amount you’re willing to lose.

Before you agree: movies take more than 1 year to make and get published, and it takes more than 1 movie to make somebody an a-lister

Fair warning, when I last put up a bet in AI video arena, I won! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/anilgulecha_kitsune-activity-...

Same terms - gentlemen's agreement. The loser owes the winner a meal whenever they meet :). For a HN visitor to blore, I'll happy to host a meal anyway :)

What was the 90 minute movie?

The LinkedIn thread also seems as AI generated there

the last few % that make a a-list actor an a-list actor is the hardest part, i would bet you that its going to take longer than 12 months

Hard disagree. CG in films is awful when done cheaply, and this all looks like really cheap CG.

Yeah, it's not quite there yet, but think of this as Stable Diffusion 1, or DALL-E 1/2. It's hard to imagine this not being a part of the VFX workflow within 5 years.

finally! we should come up for a term for this new tech... maybe computer generated imagery?
