Related to the development of AI, there are questions surrounding e/cc (effective accelerationism), the movement to accelerate technological progress as quickly as possible without regulation. This is an idea that seems absurd to those who study the idea of ”uncontrollable technology” in modern social thought. I worked in Silicon Valley for a while.
The wish of “everything, everywhere, everything at once” is not a jewel that will come true. Otherwise, millionaires will have better hair and bodies. For an overview of accelerationism, see Why Some Billionaires Are Actively Trying To Destroy The World by Joe Scott (his information box has a good bibliography). Other takes kind of come from Rick and Morty in “Billionaire Immortal Christ” and RPI Professor Langdon Weiner.
AI wizard Written by Alan Warburton (2023) is a video essay on generative AI. 99% of his images and videos were created using Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Runway, and Pika to discuss and critique legal, aesthetic, and ethical issues of AI platforms. Featured at Open Data Institute (ODI) Summit 2023, The Guardian UK provides background on the project.
Chaos reigned at the end of the year. This confusion comes amidst rumors that an OpenAI employee is warning of a possible artificial general intelligence (AGI) breakthrough called Q*. AGI is a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at the most economically valuable tasks. Otherwise, AGI itself may run out of control. Events are summarized in OpenAI Chaos Explained by ColdFusion. For more information, see the real investigation behind the wild rumors about OpenAI's Q* project by ArsTechnica's Timothy B. Lee.
There's no time to wait, as some enthusiasts say Channel 1's creepy real newscaster hints at a tumultuous future for online video. See “These AI-generated news anchors are surprising me” by Kyle Orland, also at ArsTechnica.
While there are many other great resources for AI, the After Effects portal focuses on media creation. Still, occasional peeks are helpful, such as Sam Altman's Q*Reveal, OpenAI Updates, Elon: “His 3 Years to AGI,” and Matthew Berman's Synthetic Data Predictions.
Finally, we move to more media-centric AI news, where too much is more than enough, and we are almost resource-independent.
Here at PVC, Jeff Foster looks at post-production AI trends throughout 2023 in his latest installment of AI Tools Part 4: Video, Film Production, 3D, Audio and More.

In theory, media is a good guide to the explosion of AI media tools. He recently posted “AI filmmaking has leveled up!” His Gen-2 Motion in Runway ML In his brushes, he noted that Hugging Face has LCMs (Latent Consistent Models), a hybrid of real-time painting with text and models. In theory, the media also continues to publish his AI videos. Motion brush is now available! Let's take a look at the new Runway ML Gen 2 features for “In Paint” and the Style Artistic Presets feature. A motion brush defines an area that automatically animates in a direction.
In theory, the future of AI video sharing with media is here! (Video tutorial/walkthrough of stable virality). He tested stable diffusion video using various tools such as Pinocchio, Hugging Face, and Replicate to showcase this new model's video quality, motion control, and his understanding of 3D. He also covered Final Frame, his web tool for extending his AI-generated videos by chaining clips from tools like Stable Diffusion Video. Interestingly, the future “arrives” every day.
Ai Flux posted information that might otherwise be difficult to track. For example, Apple went all in on AI with his M3 silicon and Midjourney V6 (beta) was released. 👀😮 Image 2 Is the video coming soon?
According to artificial ignorance, “Apple recently released new paper That could indicate how the company is thinking about AI. In a nutshell, LLM is optimized to run with much less memory (like the iPhone). ”
By the way, AI dataset training still seems to rely on copyright images. See the thread created by Reid Southern regarding his AI Joker image in Midjourney v6. Those in charge of the money believe it would be too expensive to repair and argue that its use constitutes “fair use.”
Researchers at Stanford University also found problematic content in another dataset, including more than 1,000 images of child sexual abuse material.
Great AI is liked by many, so check out Best AI Upscaler to Make GTA 6 Amazingly Beautiful. Written by Theoretical Media. As for MattVidPro AI, it's the best AI upscaler I've ever seen. Magnific AI is similar, as is Krea AI. I still use Premiere Pro or Red Giant and haven't compared the tools.
