Another huge week in AI.
The Most Exciting AI News This Week!
My Next AI Experiment!
Will I Succeed? Iām at it AGAIN!
Okay, I grew a following with AI, now iām trying to see if I can create a News Show with AI. Thatās right, using 100% AI to showcase the latest and greatest news each week in the world of AI.
I want to bring in characters, interviews and make it just like your normal nightly news but AI Surfer Style! Letās put everything I know to use!
SO make sure to tune in every Monday @6PM PST for The AI News on youtube.
Itās live now, you can watch it by clicking here :).
Alright Surfer! If you donāt feel like watching the news, Iāve also made it easy for you to consume it right here in this email as well.
So here ya go!
Visual Wonders
AI Powered Photos & Videos
Google Photos Magic:
Imagine perfecting your messy vacation shots with a single touch. You can now move and resize objects, banish those pesky distractions, and even turn those fuzzy memories into razor-sharp snapshots. Donāt even get me started on transforming photos into 3D movies.
Check out the thread here.
Flux, The Midjourney Rival:
You might have heard of Fluxāthe AI tool thatās been giving Midjourney sleepless nights. Free to use and almost impossibly good at creating hyper-realistic images. Itās like having a professional studio in your pocket.
Can you tell these are AI generated?
Are we entering the era where instead of paying an influencer to promote its products, a brand will just generate one with AI that matches their aesthetic?
These are some experiments this morning using Flux and @runwayml Gen-3 Alpha.

Best of all, you can use FLUX for free and run it locally on your computer. I found an AWESOME tutorial showcasing just how to do this.
- Set up Flux in ComfyUI
- Works on 12gb VRAM

Opus Clips:
This update is a game-changer for meā¦ Iāve always wanted the ability to type in a search box what iām looking for, then have the software scrub a āyoutubeā video as example and find that exact clip and splice it out for me. Well Opus Clips is getting that update and Iām very excited about it. Itās not out yet but iāve linked the waitlist down below if you want to jump on it with me.
Ummā¦ just the future of streaming and avatars.
Personally, I canāt wait for thisā¦ letās go!
Nothing to see hereā¦
But this is from a single still image
Avatars using AI will be huge for streamers, remote workers, influencers
No need for expensive 3D pipelines and mocap, just a phone or webcam.
What have we gotten ourselves into?

AI Movies, Yeahā¦ They Are Coming!
If you asked me a year ago, I would of saidā¦ possibleā¦ but really far off. Today, wowā¦ I think we are much closer than we really understand. The proof is in the pudding as they say. I found this AI trailerā¦ and wow, itās just so good.
This is the best AI-generated movie trailer I have personally done!
I am happy to share my latest AI trailer, "BloodSpace," based on a feature film I am currently developing.
Make sure you watch til the end!
I had to sneak in at least one shot with @runwayml's new last-frameā¦ x.com/i/web/status/1ā¦

The world of innovators!
New AI Tools & Capabilities
OpenAI āStrawberryā:
OpenAIās new reasoning tech is making waves. This model self-teaches mathematical and logical skillsāno biggie, right? Itās trailblazing towards true artificial general intelligence (AGI).
This account breaks the OpenAI mystery down quite nicely:
What is Q*? My first approach (1/2)
Foreword: Q* has not yet been published or made publicly available; there are no papers on it and OpenAI is holding back on information about it (Sam Altman: "We are not ready to talk about that" youtu.be/vdv8TF8n52Y , 2:45 minutes). Sinceā¦ x.com/i/web/status/1ā¦

Metaās Llama 3.1:
Hold onto your hats because Metaās latest Llama 3.1 is shaking up the leaderboards! Itās free, open-source, and promises to amplify the creative use of AI. Plus, Llama 4ās on the horizon with ten times the compute power.
The craziest part?
Zuck is giving away everything for FREEā¦ it cost billions and billions of dollars to train these AI models.
Hereās what Zuck had to say about why itās free though, very interesting!
Mark Zuckerberg on Meta's open source AI strategy: "We're not doing this because we're altruistic... I don't view it as giving it away, I view it as you guys all making it better for me"

Trending AI Tools This Week!
Guide: Craft jaw-dropping SOPs and training materials with minimal effort, thanks to AI precision.
Traini: Ever wondered what your pet is thinking? This tool claims to decode your petās vocalizations and facial expressions. š¶š¼
Brilliant: In just 15 minutes a day, you can tackle problem-solving concepts with guided, interactive learning. Becoming a mastermind while sipping coffee? Yes, please!
Thatās all my friend! Now enjoy our little comic book below, something Iāve been having a lot of fun learning how to create. One thing I really want to get into is learning how to do more animations and cartoons to create ads for our community. Really fun use of AI I think, enjoy!
See ya next week!
