FEATURED STORY 🔥

OpenAI Unveils Sora: Text To Video

OpenAI has developed Sora, an advanced AI capable of creating high-quality, imaginative video scenes from textual descriptions. This innovative model can produce videos up to 60 seconds long that closely follow the given prompts.

Sora's design allows it to simulate the physical world in motion, aiming to assist in tasks that involve real-world interactions. It can craft intricate scenes featuring multiple characters and detailed backgrounds, while also capturing specific movements.

Despite its capabilities, Sora faces challenges with complex physics simulations and nuanced cause-and-effect scenarios. Sora, which utilizes diffusion and transformer architectures, builds upon previous research from projects like DALL·E and GPT. It represents a significant step towards models that can comprehend and mimic the real world, marking progress in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Prompt for the video above: A stylish woman walks down a Tokyo street filled with warm glowing neon and animated city signage. She wears a black leather jacket, a long red dress, and black boots, and carries a black purse. She wears sunglasses and red lipstick. She walks confidently and casually. The street is damp and reflective, creating a mirror effect of the colorful lights. Many pedestrians walk about.

Image Of The Week 📷️ 

MidJourney and Dall-E are cool - but what about using it to create a business? I did some research around the organic search volume for tattoo designs - and it’s MASSIVE!

• butterfly tattoo - 187k monthly searches

• medusa tattoo - 131k monthly searches

• phoenix tattoo - 82k monthly searches

• sunflower tattoo - 54k monthly searches

What about using MidJourney to create unique tattoo designs, uploading them to a website, optimizing them for Google organic traffic, and then monetizing via display adverts and selling “premium” tattoo design packs?

Also - you can sell them on Etsy. These guys and these guys have sold literally thousands of them.

We used MidJourney recently to create my wife a Sphynx cat tattoo design (stay tuned for the photo when he has it done in a few weeks)
