⚡ Magnific on the big screen!

I CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT THIS!

The VFX team of Here (directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Robin Wright & Tom Hanks) used Magnific for their FX 🤯

To break it all down (+more), I interviewed VFX supervisor Kevin Baillie! 🧵👇 An incredibly exciting conversation where @kbvfx shares how he got started in the world of VFX, his career journey, what it’s been like working with directors like George Lucas and Robert Zemeckis, and the impact of generative AI in Hollywood plus much more!

🪄 Magnific.

From $0 to $10M ARR in just one year with only two people.

This was supposed to be a secret, but I think even my grandma knows by now.

Yep, small teams are the future. I wasn’t sure whether to post it or not, but since X’s algorithm has me in the shadows, no one’s gonna see it anyway. 😆

🔴 A CONSCIOUS AI

Today, I’m going to talk about something we might be able to achieve, though maybe humanity should never even try:

A method for an AI to gain consciousness and reach the status of a superintelligence (ASI).

A theory I’ve been working on for months 🧵
Index – In case you want to jump straight to a section:

0️⃣ Introduction
1️⃣ The foundation of current AI models
2️⃣ What is consciousness?
3️⃣ How to create a self-aware AI?
4️⃣ Singularity / ASI
5️⃣ Moral implications
6️⃣ Risks

🍔💀 I'm NEVER eating a Whopper again.

This is just one of the many findings from Nat Friedman and his team during their testing of 100 everyday foods for the presence of plastic chemicals.

The study is brutal in every aspect, and the way it’s presented is masterful. 🧵👇 Here you have the full report and the story behind it:

You are not ready for what's coming.

We, humans, struggle to understand exponential growth. Everything will move so fast that a lot of chaos will inevitably arise in the coming years.

It worries me.
This is exponential growth.

⚡ Living in the Future

Interfaces of the future will be completely "fluid," created on the fly for us as we need to get any task done.

Today, it takes a weekend using AI + natural language and some tweaks to build an interface. Tomorrow, it’ll happen instantly 🧵👇 Examples:

1. One year ago, I created an Angry Birds clone in just 10-12 hours using plain ChatGPT.

And this is how I build my skills little by little.

I come up with a story, create photoshoot, animating it, then comes sound design and creating voice over, editing together, and upscaling.

7 different programs (thank you Midjourney, Magnific AI, Runway) that I didn't even know they can exist a few years ago. 🤯 couple days of work, and the automotive test is out. I really hope @elonmusk will see this. Because it's amazing.

Lot of people are playing with Generative AI but only a few like Ben Nash have mastered it.

Here's how... Oops! What a CLICKBAIT thread starter I just wrote, LOL. But seriously, this is a totally legit step-by-step tutorial: 1/ Step one: go follow @bennash. Man, thank you for letting me share this tutorial!

⚡ We can finally make it public!

Magnific joined ❤️ Freepik

A few weeks ago, someone asked if we'd consider an acquisition. I answered: "Yes, but only with someone who shares our values and helps us achieve something great faster".

Here's what's going to happen 👇 When you find someone with whom you share values, the next step of sharing resources to achieve something great becomes an obvious step to take!

Both Freepik and Magnific share the same mission: to help everyone express the power of their ideas! 🔥

🤯 This is insane

Simulon can add any 3D model to your real footage video in a matter of minutes.

It's so real that I almost can touch it!

Another crazy example:

Try to guess which objects on the table are fake. The truth will be revealed at the end of the video.

⚡ Texturized 100% with AI in 5 minutes 🤯

I remember spending 30 hours on texturing, lighting, and rendering to finish a render like this. And now, anyone can do it in seconds. Everything is going to change!

Here's a step-by-step tutorial 🧵👇
