VISUAL CREATORS

Google’s AI video generator, ‘Lumiere’, is here to turn your text into scenes.

It’s not the first text-to-video model we’ve seen, but Google claims it’ll beat the competition soon.

Right now, it’s best at making clips of animals and playing with animation styles.

But here’s where it gets interesting: You can upload your own video and change elements like a pro. Need the sky to be purple? No problem. Want a slow-mo walk? Done.

With a few clicks, you can get your video in the style of your whole project, cinemagraphs and all.

It’s a content creator’s dream, with a bit of an AI arms race twist.

‘Lumiere’ by Google: Game-changer or gimmick?

  1. Hasselblad's $8.1K 907x CFV 100C camera caters to photographers seeking art over snapshots. No stabilizer, but plenty of nostalgia. This is NOT a YouTuber’s multipurpose gear.

  2. Pope Francis, victim of AI trickery last year, speaks out on the ‘perverse’ threat of deepfakes and calls for global regulations. Vatican gets sci-fi real.

  3. Light Lens Lab drops a Leica M-mount 35mm ‘White Edition’ lens, limited to just 200 units. Pricey, but oh so pretty.

  4. The Nikon F-mount panic turns out to be unfounded; the company’s still in the F game.

  4. Bechdel test: 2 women in a scene talking about anything other than a man. It's 2024 and films are still failing. Indiana Jones, care to explain?

CREATOR ECONOMY

Apple will let EU customers download apps from other sources and allow developers to offer alternative in-app payment methods starting March, following the new rules in the EU's Digital Markets Act.

In practice, users could download a different app marketplace that has apps unavailable on Apple's own store, like Xbox's Cloud Gaming.

Although the changes primarily apply to the EU, Apple will also introduce a separate app streaming gaming policy globally.

Will Apple's new EU app rules change anything?

  1. Netflix reveals the criteria for a 'Netflix approved' camera, and it's more about meeting quality standards than breaking the bank.

  2. Taylor Swift deepfake porn mobilizes fandom; thousands of posts bury AI content.

  3. AI’s no longer an industry oddity; it’s getting a warm market reception. From film color balancing to healthcare aids, AI’s crossing sectors faster than Elon tweets. But human oversight is still the must-have feature in your AI toolkit.

  4. IG’s “Flipside” alternative profiles go live. Instagram bets on private sharing.
