• Actor, comedian technologist Eline Van der Velden has revealed that her recently launched AI talent studio Xicoia is in talks with a number of talent agents interested in signing its first creation, AI actress Tilly Norward.*

• Former AI artist Puhm, whose appointment as head of startup Luma AI’s new Studio Dream Lab LA was announced in July, concurred with Van der Velden on the mood changing at the studios.

“I remember having meetings with the studios as an AI artist before joining Luma. Some said, ‘Oh, no, we’re not using AI.’ I knew some were lying, they were already secretly working on some stuff, but some were not open to it at all. Then definitely this year, kind of like March, April, people called me and wanted to talk to me,” she said.

“They were discussing me being a liaison between directors and the AI artists… at that time I was traveling around a lot and educating about workflows and pipelines and how it can be integrated, and then all a sudden that was becoming very interesting to them. It was a different language to them and they were like, ‘We really have to get people from the outside that have worked in the AI industry’.

“Historically, the studios have been very slow to adapt, at least publicly, they need that influx of new creatives, and new creative technologists to come in and actually show them how it’s done. You can assume that a lot of them are already working on it.”

Puhm said all the big companies and studios were working on AI assisted projects but being under NDA, she was not in a position to announce any of the details.

“We really want to make them feel comfortable through their testing, through their projects, and working on real projects… we want it to be their decision on when they want to say it out loud, but honestly, I think this year is going to be interesting. In the beginning of next year, there’s going to be a lot of announcements.”

Let's gooooo

AI 🔥

We will not be watching or clicking

She’s been on my radar for a while.

Anyone who picks her up is getting a future legend

:vlosereave:

Imagining an iPad lying on the floor in an unfurnished mega-mansion in Beverly Hills.

Atp I’m starting to wonder if these industries purposely want to diminish celebrities to replace them with these avatars and keep 100% revenue smh as the consumers we need to make sure anything with even a hint of AI flops drastically.

Not even kidding we’re literally about to enter one of the scariest eras, no one will know if an actor or an artist even exists cause the industry gonna keep that s*** under wraps. Having them “show up” at late night show interviews but without an audience and just add laugh tracks to convince us it’s a real person and a crowd saw them. Ngl we’re living in a sci/fi movie rn. Conspiracy theorists up 50 rn

Galactus speaks

get this Great Value Florence Pugh out of my face

This is why I can’t feel the fun and appreciation for movies anymore. There’s no battle here. Enjoy the cinema we have coming in the next 5 years.

Edit: f*** this AI BULLSHIT

I know it’s all about making a profit but what is the point of being a film studio if all your movies essentially become video game cutscenes?

how do you sign smoehting thats not real

We will be there. AI is here!

Money.

AI "actors" means no need to pay real ones, eventually they'd like to own the tech which means they can cut all creatives costs and churn out more content much more easily and cheaply.

It’s cause they know basically the entire US economy is riding on Ai actually taking over everything even know the s*** is still buns
