@GoogleDeepMind's #Veo3 is generating a ton of buzz... and for good reason. I've been playing with it over the past couple days, really wanting to test the ability to represent people, generate voices, different situations, etc.

It's been a lot of fun. It's also been a bit worrying.

Make no mistake about it, Veo 3 crazy good in helping people unlock their power for for both storytelling and for dangerous misuse (scams, disinformation, deepfakes, conspiracy bait).

Here's my test: A fake documentary about ham sandwiches that come to life and disrupt society. This was a great way to create fun and safe interviews, news segments, etc. it’s ridiculous and fun. But it gets the point across.

Some details:
-- Total runtime: 3 min
-- Every clip, character, voice, and sound effect = Veo 3
-- Only outside elements: music bed + trailer-style transitions
-- I did quite a bit of editing for pacing and creative direction

I was about to add some elements to further dirty-up the 'archival footage', but thought you might enjoy seeing a less produced version before I add in those elements. This illustrates just how good Veo 3 is on it's own and before heavier post production.

Hope you enjoy it!

@RachelTobac 100% “a choice.” Meta is very good at letting their tech run several paces ahead of common sense and ethics.

[Perry Carpenter @PerryCarpenter]

@RachelTobac 💯— sadly, our industry is cursed to repeat the security sins of our past. Seems like we have decades of “lessons learned” docs that gather virtual dust rather than become part of better informed processes.

We used to argue over blurry ghost photos. Now we argue over videos that never happened.

@center4inquiry Really looking forward to it!

@RachelTobac Yeah— will be interesting to see if this helps in a real way.

Data breaches are like silent farts in a crowded office…
Unnoticed at first. Then suddenly… everyone’s affected.

That’s the premise behind a quick security awareness PSA I whipped up yesterday.
🧠 Script: my overly-tired, yet surprisingly juvenile brain
📣 Advice: The "Core 4" security behaviors from @StaySafeOnline and @CISAgov / @CISACyber
🎬 Video clips & voices: @GoogleDeepMind's VEO-3
🎙️ Voiceover: @elevenlabs custom voice using V3
🎵 Music & SFX: @envato Elements subscription
✂️ Editing: @descript

It’s short, weird, and (hopefully) memorable.

Enjoy!

[Mason Amadeus (BodgeLab.com) @itsMasonAmadeus]

I made a video for The FAIK Files, where I feed a bunch of shitty animal calls and weird noises into AI "voice cloning" software just to see what happens, and what happens is very silly
