Another example of video extension using the latest Grok Imagine update:
I created an image in Grok Imagine.
I animated it.
Then I clicked on video extension:
you can choose 6 seconds or 10 seconds, write an animation prompt, and select the starting image.
This ensures perfect continuity of the scene: fluidity of the image and sound atmosphere (music and sound effects).
Two orders of magnitude improvement in Direct to Cell (now called @Starlink Mobile) for V2. Huge improvement and amazing forthcoming work by the Starlink team.
Starlink Mobile is providing data for video, voice, and messaging services in areas where terrestrial service is unavailable
Working with global mobile network operators, our satellite-to-mobile network has grown to 32+ countries, home to 1.7B+ people → https://t.co/Sz2wzdRtF8
Starlink Mobile’s next-gen satellites will deliver 5G speeds from space with 100x the data density of the current V1 generation satellites
V2 satellites will seamlessly enable streaming, internet browsing, high-speed apps and voice calls, just like being connected to a terrestrial network → https://t.co/CV6MjKASx7
This is one of the best transparency upgrades to 𝕏 since Elon took over. I have turned down more than one “offer” because the expectation was that you do not disclose. I hope it is brutally enforced. 𝕏 wins by dominating in authenticity and accountability and this is it.
CATO will classify him as “right wing” because he’s a religiously-inspired jihadist and “American” because he’s naturalized. That’s how their vaunted terrorist database works.
But then they’ll also be classifying him as a net-paying immigrant because he won’t be taking social security. I’m serious. I am not exaggerating.
Grok Imagine UPDATE:
Once your animation is complete, you can extend it using any frame you like. This is really useful.
Another great feature is that the music continues when the animation is extended.
In the example below, I was able to extend the animation to 30 seconds without any variation in style or distortion.
Look in your video options, you will see video extension appear.
If I moved to Japan, and lived in Japan for decades, speaking the language, integrating into society, contributing to the economy. Would I be ethnically Japanese? No. No I would not. I would never pretend to be. Nor would that apply to India, Thailand, Mexico, Denmark or anywhere else.
So why is England different? Of course there is an English ethnicity. I am entirely bemused by how so many argue against that. It’s just a fact. Politicians who say otherwise are cowards. This is painfully obvious.
Restore Britain’s position is clear.
English ethnicity exists - it’s the only sodding data point that the Government collects on anything.
Of course someone who is not of that ethnicity can be British, obviously. But it equally does not mean that the English ethnicity is imaginary. Those two things can be true at the same time.
I got in trouble years ago for suggesting that the footballer Paul Pogba was French, but not ethnically French. It’s insanity. That is just a factual position. Common sense, clearly.
Separately, Restore Britain has said from the very start - owning a British passport does not make you British.
We have seen how lazily those documents have been frittered away. Holding that piece of paper does not automatically make you British, we are very clear on that.
Is the Egyptian lunatic Alaa Abd El-Fattah British? He has a passport. Restore Britain says NO. No, he is not and he should be stripped of that paper and deported.
Being British encompasses so much more than that, it means so much more than that. It is not simply a piece of paper. It is culture, shared beliefs, patriotism, language, a common understanding of what is right and wrong. That has nothing to do with ethnicity, obviously.
But for even daring to suggest that English ethnicity exists I’ll be roundly attacked.
It is just a fact.
Every other country in the world manages to acknowledge ethnicities exist without descending into hysteria.
England should be able to do the same.
If ethnicity exists at all, which it obviously does, then English is an ethnicity.
This is a simple statement of fact. It is possible to be culturally English or French or Japanese, etc, but ethnically be different. The first is “software”, the other is “hardware”.
This should not be license to be cruel or unfair to people of a different ethnicity. I believe we should be fair to all ethnicities, but not pretend that one or another does not exist.
This is extremely common in China and you can literally watch it happen through historical satellite imagery.
Many sites were developed with coal, and have since been converted into solar farms.
Go look at google earth and see for yourself.
Ilhan Omar’s father was a colonel serving in the genocidal regime of Somali dictator Siad Barre.
His years of service included the 1977-1979 Oagden War which saw horrific crimes and human rights abuses.
You father was amongst those responsible for the horrors of war.
