As you know, my explorations of the Gen AI space is ultimately all about creative control. You should be able to shape the generative matter using all your artistic sensibilities and your aesthetic sense.

OpenAI's Sora is a huge technological leap, but what excites me the most about it is the modalities where it depends on input other than text alone. Such as video to video. Here's an example of how Sora can change an input video.

These pictures are symbolic.

This is an obvious sign of support for Putin and his aggressive war that he has no intention to end.

Top: Putin and Hungarian prime-minister Viktor Orbán have met in China on 17th October for the first time since Russia launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine. He assured Putin that he wants to develop economic cooperation with Russia and does not support sanctions against Moscow.

(By the way, Orban's latest visit to Moscow was several days prior to Putin making the decision to attack Ukraine).

Bottom: Miklós Horthy, Regent of Hungary, 1920-1944 with Adolf Hitler.

This is a quote from 2006 by Alexander Litvinenko, agent of the Soviet and Russian special services, later a political emigrant, an opponent of the Putin regime. Murdered by Russian agents in Britain in 2006. He died in a British hospital of radiation sickness after being poisoned.

I wanted to post it on Putin's birthday today.

"While the whole world is chasing after a virtual Bin Laden, saving itself from 'world terrorism', another monster like Hitler is filling up with blood behind the Kremlin walls. And if he is not stopped in time, perhaps, this maniac will soon lead civilization to another world massacre, in the furnace of which millions and millions of human lives will be burned."

This is Air

And it’s 500ms away from making a lot of jobs redundant

It can perform full 5-40 minute long sales & customer service calls over the phone that sound like a human

It can perform actions autonomously across 5,000 unique applications

"Barbie Girl" w wykonaniu Johnny'ego Casha - jedna z najbardziej realistycznie/naturalnie brzmiących do tej pory przeróbek AI 😳

Digital likeness - wykorzystywanie barwy głosu, cyfrowe repliki wizerunku, trenowanie modeli AI na utworach powinno być w przyszłości dodatkowym źródłem dochodu dla twórców, artystów.

To recall the end of the Second World War in Europe means remembering that more Ukrainian civilians were killed than were Russians, and that more Ukrainian soldiers died fighting the Wehrmacht than Americans, British, and Frenchmen — taken together.

As Zelensky visits Poland,today 1940 Stalin & Beria were murdering 22000 Poles in Katyn Forest. It took 28 nights; chief executioner Blokhin wore a butchers apron over his NKVD uniform. Aim: to liquidate Polish elites who might later resist Soviet Russian imperium over Poland…

The thing about this theory, trendy among Western cultural elites, is that it lets those same elites totally off the hook for the catastrophic values they are propagating to the next generation.

[Polish Embassy UK 🇵🇱 @PolishEmbassyUK]

83 years ago, Soviet NKVD chief Lavrentiy Beria proposed to execute 22,000 Polish officers, policemen and intelligentsia captured after the Ribbentrop-Molotov division of Poland. Stalin approved it. The mass murders took place in April and May 1940, mainly in Katyń. #NeverForget

This nice older Russian lady openly calls Ukrainian "Nazis" and urges to kill every Ukrainian, including the babies (she repeats this wish several time) in order to "clean up this rot (the Ukrainians)". This is the face of the Russian "antifascism".
