Krea Video is unlike any other video AI I've seen
Krea have launched a revolutionary new way to prompt video generation and I love it. They've created a timeline interface where you can add image prompts accompanied by your text prompt.
Their AI blends the images and interpolates between them. You can also extend the video by adding more and more frames with seemingly no upper limit. Best of all it is free - this is a lot of fun go try it out.
Its begun - Graphic Designer loses their job to AI
The headline is that the sole graphic designer at business was made redundant after 6 years at the company when his job was automated. I was dubious about this at first, A.I. can create images and ideas but it can't follow a brief or understand the impact of its design so it can't do actual design work.
In the video below you can hear how the designer was creating emails and websites based on templates. The company deviously trained an AI on the designer's work they had created over the last six years and programmed it to be able to swap out logos and hex colours.
Clearly anything templatised and repetitive is ripe picking ground for AI and as creatives we need to be thinking about what is the high-value work we do and adapt accordingly. The design landscape is changing but AI will have a much wider impact on society; customer service, data analysis, music - all these things can be automated now.
How can creatives stay relevant for as long as possible while society transitions to some form of UBI?
Microsoft launches the first AI computers that see's and remembers everything you do
The first computer with on-device AI. Microsoft unveiled a new category of Windows PCs, called Copilot+ PCs, designed to harness the power of AI for enhanced productivity and creativity.
These PCs boast a new system architecture that integrates a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) alongside the CPU and GPU, delivering up to 20x more power and 100x more efficiency for AI workloads. This translates to faster image generation, real-time video editing, and even a feature called "Recall" that helps you find files and information you've seen before.
And "Recall" is where it starts to get a little dystopian - The AI will constantly monitor your screen and know what you are up to, Microsoft thinks this ability to never forget anything is a selling point. But when even Elon Musk - the man who called someone a paedo for saving kids from drowning in a cave - can see the downsides, there might be an issue.
I can personally think of many occasion when I don't want my screen to be monitored. Microsoft do say they won't train on any data and it all stays on you laptop but its still there ripe for the taking.
Despite that I am tempted to have on device AI. Would you buy this AI computer?

Dove launches an AI playbook with prompts that produce realistic images of women
Dove's campaign titled "Keep Beauty Real," focuses on reshaping the definition of beauty for AI and promoting inclusivity and diversity. The campaign emphasizes Dove's commitment to representing beauty in all its forms and fights against the inherent biases in AI models. They created a 72 page guide you can download and use as inspiration. Creatives are more aware than most how important diversity and inclusion is and its important to remember that when generating artwork.
