This week on the AI film history timeline 🎞️
This week on the AI film history timeline 🎞️ 1. Nov 5, 2022: Midjourney releases V4. Its grasp of objects, scenes and prompt intent took a leap so big it turned Midjourney from a curiosity into the default image tool of the new AI-art scene, and the look that filled everyone's feed at the end of 2022. 2. Nov 1, 2024: Robert Zemeckis's "Here" opens in theaters, using Metaphysic's generative face system to age and de-age Tom Hanks and Robin Wright on set in real time. A wide studio release with generative AI in the finished image. 3. Nov 5, 2024: Saving the Sun, an animated short about light, hope and the lengths we'll go to preserve what matters, made with Runway Gen-3. 4. Nov 4, 2025: Kavan the Kid and Magnific begin "The Chronicles of Bone", a dark-fantasy saga he writes, animates, edits, grades and sound-designs himself. Six monthly prologues later, Chapter One cleared 1.6 million views in its first week. Links below πŸ‘‡

It does seem like the X algorithm is broken. One day I get 18,000 views and the next day I get 30, even though I spent a few minutes on the first post and 2 to 3 on a short film for the second one

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

today, we introduce a little mischief to the world. for four years, we’ve been brewing real brain cells on electrodes to understand how they compute. now, we’ve turned those discoveries into a video model anyone can use. from 0.5Β’ a second, mischief 1 is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest image-to-video model on @fal and @OpenRouter. soon to be on @awscloud marketplace. it’s not a delusion anymore. biocompute is real, commercial and this is just the beginning. happy halloween.
