Keeping an eye on this one. New studio with veterans from Respawn, Riot, Bungie, etc and baked by a16z.
We've spent the last 3 years building an exciting PvP tactical shooter with a focus on competition and community. Our first major PC playtest will take place on August 25th & 26th. Register now using the link in our bio and below this post!

The AI adventure Part 3: AI can give you superpowers! Played around with RunwayML last night and tried to recreate their recent viral video. Didn't turn out as cleanly but it was a lot of fun to make!

FYI - Runway is amazing with human characters but when I tried to do Baby Yoda, Sailor Moon or even Batman, it got really confused since it was trying to keep my face proportions the same.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned how I used AI to create a faceless TikTok and YouTube channel and got 50k+ views in less than a month (and only took 5-10mins a day to create and upload). The videos were text heavy with some animation.

The results landed us right in the uncanny valley. I tried one of the preset "hosts" but it was still weird. The text-to-speech output from EL was great so I took that and copied/pasted game GIFs into the video instead of using actual video footage.

The whole process took 20 minutes which I found too long but I can probably cut that down if I templatize things. You can see one of the creepy videos in this thread and the final video here: youtube.com/watch?v=-Q60aFJi…

I used AI to create a faceless TikTok and YouTube channel & got 50k+ views in less than a month. Only 5-10mins a day to create and upload. 💡🕹️ I have been using AI tools to improve my productivity & a few weeks ago, I decided to try to make something instead of just playing.

🎉🎮 I'm still in awe that my channels amassed 50k views in less than 30 days. This would not have been possible without the power of AI. The future of content creation is here, and it's powered by AI.
