@minchoi @elonmusk Not late, just getting ready in style.

Here we go... Grok 4.3 just dropped. Now it can create other file formats like Slides, Sheets, PDFs, Docs, etc.

@WilliamShatner A tough one, but got through it. Looking forward the the next one! Yours?

How was everyone’s day?

@alphafox Love it!

This is what eating mushrooms can do to you:

Hi @adamcarolla. I’m sorry to hear about your pups passing. Phil sounded like a wonderful boy. All the best to you and yours.

Good morning, @elonmusk ! I was wondering, may we please have a GrokBox for our homes? Apple HomePod is nice, but Siri is so limited by comparison to Grok. What do you think?

@ShelleyKChilds I don't think it's Paul because there was a similar sounding voice who did narration back then, I don't know who it is

@VraserX Kidding yourself. There’s no gatekeeping. Either the Studio needs to trust you with their money to produce their product or they don’t. And you have to prove that. All these videos prove is that AI can be used effectively pro visual effects work maybe if used the right way.

Hollywood gatekeeping is dying. Very soon, blockbuster-level films will come from tiny teams of obsessed hobby directors armed with AI, taste, and zero permission. Big budgets won’t matter. Gatekeepers won’t matter.

@sithdaddyvlogs Short. Sweet. Effective. Impressive. Most impressive. 😉 But you are on the right track. Keep it up! Thanks for sharing!

So let me get this straight: if someone is making a movie using someone else's IP, it's always 'unoriginal'? Like Guardians of the Galaxy were unoriginal, right? Game of Thrones was based on an existing IP, even second Aliens by James Cameron, one of the best sequels of all time, basically 'unoriginal' cause he used existing IP, what a loser, that director.. man, such a degenerate argument that is. You boys need to come up with something better, but the lack of perspective and imagination is the real bottleneck. And while you think hard of another pathetic excuse to manifest your hate, I am having fun here. You know what, let's mix it up a little. How about I cross-breed 2 popular IPs at a time? That should be double unoriginal, right? Let's see. I hope you don't get a stroke from the scale of massive non-originality here. See ya! P.S. That was done in a pre-Nano Banana era, so getting some of these angles was a real pita. I wrote down the list of all the shots from my imagination, after I visualised them, and that way, I got my most cinematic video at that point. Really enjoyed doing it. I had a whole series planned, but the initial video performed so poorly on YT, that I scrapped that idea, sadly.

@sithdaddyvlogs youtu.be/lF5cOg8-ZFQ?si…

@sithdaddyvlogs I watched your video. Nice Prompt Mash-up. If you are having fun with it, and learning, that’s what matters most. If you want to go next level, let go of established IP. Or stay within the source material. This was impressive…

@sithdaddyvlogs To put a finer point on your first question, you could argue that your take on the content is original, but it’s not your original idea. I think the better way to put is that your work is not licensed and that being the case you can’t get paid for it or monetize it, legally.

@sithdaddyvlogs If we don’t focus on making authentic IRL work, and integrate A.i. into it, everyone’s gonna lose. We’ll have nothing left but A.i. mud to entertain ourselves.

@sithdaddyvlogs Fan fiction is great and some of it is impressive. We already have a Lucas and Spielberg. We don’t need more. We need new voices new ideas. At the moment I think AI is just making pretty puppets. One day gonna start eating itself…

@sithdaddyvlogs … but all you do is hang your mind and minutes on somebody else’s coattails from 1977, nobody’s gonna care. It becomes a dime a dozen.

@sithdaddyvlogs That would be as common as grass growing on the front lawn. No one will care. That’s exhausting. But make something nobody seen before. Introduce them to a world they’ve never imagined. No doubt these AI tools will help you get there faster…

@sithdaddyvlogs Looks impressive doesn’t mean good. And zi think that’s the trap here. All this bullshit I hear about Hollywood is dead, and Hollywood is in trouble and blah blah blah. If everybody’s cranking out Star Wars crap nobody’s gonna care about it.

@sithdaddyvlogs I mean…go “prompt” something…original…sort of. Since all the data used to make this stuff has been ripped off from Authentic IRL IP source material. Or…pick up a camera and go make something real. A.I. will be a great spice. But spice does not make a good meal alone.

@sithdaddyvlogs Looks good! But it’s not original, just your original take on someone else’s IP. An IP has to be licensed by the author in order for it to reach Cameron’s hands. Terminator was from Cameron’s dreams. Original. Avatar, original. Drop the lightsaber. Make something original.

@realAlmondfish Amateur did not create anything. They prompted. Prompting and creating are not the same. And consider without the reference assets, or the tool, would this Amateur produce anything original? (KFC,McD, Shining). Known IP carries weight. Let’s see something original.

いや、面白いんだけど、ここまでの作品を素人がボタン一つで作れてしまうことに恐怖。

@VraserX @Wu__42 So silly, and naive. Copyright is not gatekeeping, it's protection. Laws are laws. Intellectual Property is still property. Laws are in place to protect them, your work, your ideas from being exploited by others who don't. I can see you don't really understand how this works.

@Wu__42 Copyright is gatekeeping and will die.

This is actually insane. 🤯 Seedance 2.0 basically means we’re about to make live action versions of our favorite anime ourselves. Fan fiction just evolved into fan cinema.
