If you were working on an exhibition that's meant to be a sort of "critical introduction to the metaverse" what texts would you consider to be essential reading?

Read this last night and it did a lot to assuage my own nuclear fears and put things into perspective. Agree that the nuclear threat is perhaps a red herring that misdirects our attention and anxiety, which is precisely why it's been invoked.

Interesting thread on the source material used to train Meta's text-to-video. The Shutterstock dataset is earmarked for academic, Non-Commercial Research & Private Study which this would seem to be in violation of.

Whoah. This is wild. I've been talking to lots of artists lately about AI-generated video or films and this is the first time it feels like not a super distant concept.

Impressive from Meta Prompt based video, results look even better than the Cogvideo generations makeavideo.studio At the moment we are seeing 3x improvements every couple of weeks. Cycles are getting shorter, results are getting better. Exciting.
