On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI’s Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.
- 🥱 - Here, have a bed, you need it 🛏 
 
- Why - cuz … they need a healthy supply of products for google graveveyard 
- Why not? - I want to have fun generating my own shows and movies eventually. Just for my own fun. You can literally just not use it. 
 
- Tell me again when it’s open source. - OpenAI is as open as an elderly Catholic nun’s legs while she’s reading incel posts on 4chan. - That means not open, right? I’m only interested once the first good opens Circe video generator is released, more closed source ones aren’t interesting, once I heard about the first. 
 
 
- Until they sunset it. No use getting invested in new Google products anyway. 
- Are they gonna demo it like they do with Gemini? 
- After reading the wheresyouredat article I don’t have much faith in this one either for any serious work. It’s a curiosity at best. 
- This is the best summary I could come up with: 
 - Veo’s example videos include a cowboy riding a horse, a fast-tracking shot down a suburban street, kebabs roasting on a grill, a time-lapse of a sunflower opening, and more. - Conspicuously absent are any detailed depictions of humans, which have historically been tricky for AI image and video models to generate without obvious deformations. - Google says that Veo builds upon the company’s previous video-generation models, including Generative Query Network (GQN), DVD-GAN, Imagen-Video, Phenaki, WALT, VideoPoet, and Lumiere. - While the demos seem impressive at first glance (especially compared to Will Smith eating spaghetti), Google acknowledges AI video-generation is difficult. - But the company is confident enough in the model that it is working with actor Donald Glover and his studio, Gilga, to create an AI-generated demonstration film that will debut soon. - Initially, Veo will be accessible to select creators through VideoFX, a new experimental tool available on Google’s AI Test Kitchen website, labs.google. 
 - The original article contains 701 words, the summary contains 150 words. Saved 79%. I’m a bot and I’m open source! 
- Veo is a pretty prolific graffiti artist in Hartford CT
