Google Flow

I don't want to use, uh, Chinese technology to do it.

So I'm using, I'm using, uh, uh, flow, Google flow to create the stuff and using chat GBT to create the shots and then create the characters and have a character Bible.

And, It's looking pretty good.

That's what I'm hoping for my hope.

It's really cool.

So you may be aware that there are quite a few solutions that are coming out nowadays for building plugins yourself, such as Google Flow, which just came out the other day, which is essentially a prompt to your plugin into existence.

um lunacy audio have also come out with their own um toolkit this very interesting some very interesting workflows and different perspectives that i've been seeing on building this do you see have you seen any effect uh maybe over the past Let's say since January, since these tools have started coming out and the LLMs have taken a leap and being able to create plugins, has that had an effect on your numbers or can you see any discernible change?

Not necessarily in our numbers.

like in an extension to like making music then making the tools to make music um so that's that's that and i think there is so much joy at least for me as a like nerdy physics guy and like cracking that that problem and finally getting the audio right or even perhaps making a stupid sign error somewhere and having a completely new and interesting effect that i would have never come up any like anywhere else and and that's something that i just cannot reproduce and so i guess that is a yeah like the joy of creation that's something that just falls flat with that

Yeah, I think there's joy in creation yourself and joy in other people's creativity as well.

One analogy that I was thinking about recently in thinking about these different tools like Google Flow and so on is food, right? So you have a couple of different options in terms of food.

You could go out and in some countries anyway, fish for it, hunt for it, you know, do the gardening yourself, right? But that would require a lot of time.

Now, that's not specific with AI, but there is that kind of that pipeline.

But yeah, I think it's a lot of experimentation, even since, you know, writing this book, just the explosion of AI video tools just for consumers, whether it was, you know, Sora, you know, Google Flow, whatever, CDance, all these other technologies that It's just becoming, I mean, on my phone, I can produce a video of me doing stupid stuff, like a 10 second video in like

a minute

or less.

All of that is deliberate and part of the safety-focused iterative rollout strategy.

Then there's the inevitable comparisons, initially between Sora 1 and Sora 2, but I'm gonna throw in Veo 3 demos too for reference, made via Veo 3 preview on Gemini Online and Veo 3 quality with Google Flow.

Now, note that one of the leads for Sora 2 said that that model is intelligent in a way that we haven't seen with a video model before.

So they're claiming it has the best world model, you could say.

Yeah, it's weird.

Google Flow is great in some instances

and just impossible to

work with in other instances.

You've got a lot of different things that you can work with in this one hosted environment.

And that Google Flow is its own environment, workspace, and VO is more motion driven than...

Not that you can't do motion with Comfy UI, but you know, there are certain AI apps that relative to visualization that are more about still enhancement and ge-generation and enhancement, and others that are more focused on, on mo-movement and motion.

And so I just think people just really need to take the time to do the, do the research.
