If you’re grappling with generative AI - frustrated by the lack of iterative control in web-based services like Midjourney and RunwayML, maddened by the opaqueness of A1111, and bewildered by the interface of ComfyUI - watch this space. I have something coming this week that will hold your hand and accompany you to genAI Valhalla (without the death bit).

Raynmaker update: we’re killing it! Working on the third music video now, Night Bloom Cereus. We’re making a K-Pop crime thriller, driven by AI imaging. It’s a 360: film, music, videos, web series, graphic novel, audible book. All coming this year. #aiart #aifilm #AIcommunity

AI video is getting very good! But there’s still a long way to go. After battling with Luma for a few days, I’ve abandoned it for KlingAI. Here’s a clip from Raynmaker, our AI-driven K-Pop crime thriller. The morphing was part of the prompt. Terrific engine. #AIart #AIcommunity

This weekend we finished the music video for “Say Chickabang!”, one of the lead tracks from our K-Pop crime thriller, Raynmaker. It’s about an LA-based K-Pop princess with a secret life, animated with AI. I can’t wait to put the song out there. #AIart #AIFilm #AIartwork #AiArtCommunity

As someone who has been permanently banned from Meta - for investigating Meta - and who has lost all reach on Twitter for progressive political posting, I confirm this. It’s devastating power, wielded by a group of dropout frat boys.

"The platforms have rigged things so that you must have an account with them in order to function, but they also want to have the unilateral right to kick people off their systems. The combination of these demands represents more power than any company should have, and Big Tech has repeatedly demonstrated its unfitness to wield this kind of power..." @[email protected] https://dice.camp/@pteryx/112831326650512796 #cloud #crowdstrike #tech #business

The Weirdest Election. Ever

With its wild cast of conspiracy characters led by a Kennedy defending Putin, the 2024 US Presidential Election is bathed in the dark waters of disinformation argues Charles Kriel.
