Update on Sora, Luma, Runway Gen-2 Ai text and image machines.
Recently I posted this: From Richard: We knew it was coming, but it's still hard to believe February 20, 2024 In that blog Richard introduced me to SORA which I found astonishing. Some of you may also have been as astonished as I was. Since then Richard sent me a new lead on "LUMA DREAM MACHINE" which offers in some respects more than what SORA did. Here's a link to their main page which has been going viral: https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine Well I 've been playing with Luma for a few days now, and to-ing and fro-ing with Richard and Alix... some of the results took my breath away, some were totally disappointing. Let's start with...

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment bobbyboy... otherwise it seems that no one requires any explanation or this wondrous image!
ReplyDeleteJust between the you and the me, it was a gift from our friend Darko who wanders the streets of his home town in Croatia endlessly seeking images. He captures these images and shares them with folk who may be interested in viewing or reading those captured images. But he doesn't feel the need to explain them. I was taken by his image and wondered how he came upon it. At first I thought he had been at a cafe or restaurant and was mucking around with his camera and some eating utensils such as a spoon or fork and lit upon the idea that the fork represented an elemental force smashing down upon his table from the clouds! But I was wrong. I asked Darko about it, and found it was "merely" a photograph of a poster displayed in his town of Split. So he took a shot of the poster which he and I both found most "expressive". What worries me bobbyboy is that other than you, no one else was interested enough to respond? I'm really pleased that you did respond! Otherwise I might have felt that Darko's effort was entirely wasted. pt
