Lionsgate & Runway AI Filmmaking, OpenAI's o1-preview, & ESPN’s Robot Reporters
They Might Be Self-Aware Podcast (TMBSA) - EPISODE 37 GRAB SOME POPCORN AND SUBSCRIBE! This week, Daniel and Hunter dive into Lionsgate's partnership with Runway for AI-generated video magic. Could AI be the Spielberg of the future, or is it just a cost-saving tool? Ever dreamed of transforming your TikTok dance into claymation or an alien adventure? Thanks to Runway's video-to-video tech, it's closer than you think. But could this tech also put film jobs at risk? We chat about robot dogs with little hats taking over journalism. Could a robo-reporter bring us more reliable news than humans? ESPN's AI-generated sports recaps are already here—but are they any good, or just lazy writing? Joanna Stern's iPhone review isn't written by her but by a custom GPT. Is this a game-changer or the end of human touch in tech reviews? And could OpenAI's newest model be proving the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis? This is one wild ride you don't want to miss. Like, subscribe, and let's dive into the future together! Your future might depend on it! For more info, visit our website at https://www.tmbsa.tech/
