State-of-the-Art Text to Video Generator Unveiled by Google Research

Google research recently released a stunning paper in which they showcased a state-of-the-art text-to-video generator that is likely to be the best one we’ve seen so far. The video demo they presented is truly fascinating and showcases the immense capabilities of this new technology.

Consistency and Quality

One of the most shocking things about Lum’s text-to-video generator is the consistency and quality of the videos it produces. In user studies, Lum’s method was preferred over other models for both text-to-video and image-to-video generation. It outperformed competitors like imin, PE collabs, zeroscope, and Gen 2 in benchmarks for video quality, text alignment, and more.

New Architecture

What sets Lum’s text-to-video generator apart is its unique SpaceTime unit architecture, which handles both spatial and temporal aspects of video data. By generating the entire temporal duration of the video at once, instead of creating keyframes and filling in gaps, Lum’s model is able to produce more coherent and realistic motion in the generated videos. Leveraging pre-trained image diffusion models for video generation further enhances the model’s generative capabilities.

Impressive Examples

The examples showcased on Lum’s GitHub page demonstrate the model’s advanced capabilities. From a rotating Lamborghini to beer being poured into a glass, the realism and attention to detail in the generated videos are truly remarkable. The model excels at handling rotations, subtle movements, and complex visual scenarios like fireworks and underwater scenes.

Stylized Generation and Customization

Lum’s text-to-video generator also excels at stylized generation, allowing users to create videos in various artistic styles. The ability to customize animations within specific regions of images, generate cinemagraphs, and inpaint missing portions of videos adds a new level of creativity and flexibility to the model.

Future Possibilities and Challenges

Despite its impressive capabilities, the question remains about the release and future development of Lum’s text-to-video generator. Will Google incorporate this technology into larger projects or release it for public use? The potential for this model to revolutionize video generation is undeniable, and the advancements in AI research continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the field.

Overall, the unveiling of Google’s state-of-the-art text-to-video generator is a significant milestone in the world of AI and video generation. The potential applications and implications of this technology are vast, and it will be exciting to see how it shapes the future of media creation and storytelling.

  23. So in essence, since it knows what moving images contain and is able to label them with language, all you need to add is reasoning and planning skills, a theory of mind and you have successfully built an entity that's equivalent to a human being in terms of cognitive capacity… Does that not ring any alarm bells or raise any voices of protest on moral, religious or ethical grounds? Apparently not… 😒🤦🏻 AI poses an existential risk, because we are building human equivalence in terms of cognition, but without certain limitations imposed on Humans by nature that's capable to improve and reproduce itself. All it needs is the capacity to "decide" to do it. That's frightening to me folks… Very, very dangerous stuff indeed. #StayAwake

  27. ⟩⟩⟩ I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of Artificial Intelligence (AI), for it knows only things of the flesh such as our fleshly desires (without fear of God) and cannot comprehend things of the Spirit such as true love and eternal joy that comes from obeying God's Word [Galatians 5:16-26]. Man is a spirit and has a soul but lives in a body which is flesh. When you go to bed it is the flesh that sleeps, but your spirit never sleeps and that is why you have dreams, unless you have died in peace physically. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart. When I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'. But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons (love because of material needs) and love for selfish reasons outside God those are things of the flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. However, true love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as patience and faith – in the finished work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, rather than in what man has done such as science, technology and organizations which won't last forever. To avoid sin and error which leads to the death of your body and your spirit-soul in hell fire (second death), you must make God's Word the standard for your life, not AI or your flesh. If not, God will let you face AI on your own (with your own strength) and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. The prove texts can be found in the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 2, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21.

    HOW TO MAKE GOD'S WORD THE STANDARD FOR YOUR LIFE?
    You must read your Bible slowly, attentively and repeatedly, having this in mind that Christianity is not a religion but a Love relationship. It is measured by the love you have for God and the love you have for your neighbor. Matthew 5:13 says, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men." Our spirits can only be purified while in the body (while on earth) but after death anything unpurified (unclean) cannot enter Heaven Gates. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God [Matthew 5:8]. No one in his right mind can risk or even bare to put anything rotten into his body nor put the rotten thing closer to the those which are not rotten. Sin makes the heart unclean but you can ask God to forgive you, to save your soul, to cleanse you of your sin, to purify your heart by the blood of His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ which He shed here on earth because Isaiah 53:5 says, "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed". Meditation in the Word of God is a visit to God because God is in His Word. We know God through His Word because the Word He speaks represent His heart's desires. Meditation is a thing of the heart, not a thing of the mind. Thinking is lower level while meditation is upper level. You think of your problems, your troubles but inorder to meditate, you must let go of your own will, your own desires, your own ways and let the Word you read prevail over thinking process by thinking of it more and more, until the Word gets into your blood and gains supremacy over you. That is when meditation comes – naturally without forcing yourself, turning the Word over and over in your heart. You can be having a conversation with someone while meditating in your heart – saying 'Thank you, Jesus…' over and over in your heart. But it is hard to meditate when you haven't let go of offence or past hurts because you need a free spirit to believe His Word and meditate on it. Your pain of the past, leave it for God, don't worry yourself, Jesus is alive, you can face tomorrow, He understands what you are passing through today. Begin to meditate on this prayer day and night (in all that you do), "Lord take more of me and give me more of you. Give me more of your holiness, faithfulness, obedience, self-control, purity, humility, love, goodness, kindness, joy, patience, forgiveness, wisdom, understanding, calmness, perseverance… Make me a channel of shinning light where there is darkness, a channel of pardon where there is injury, a channel of love where there is hatred, a channel of humility where there is pride…" The Word of God becomes a part of us by meditation, not by saying words but spirit prayer (prayer from the heart). Take note, God is Spirit and those who worship Him should do so in spirit and truth (genuinely by living the Word). When the Word becomes a part of you, it will by its very nature influence your conduct and behavior. You become a new creation, guided by the Holy Spirit and not just what you hear or see. Your bad habits, you will no longer have the urge to do them. You will think differently, dream differently, act differently and talk differently – if something does not qualify for meditation, it does not qualify for conversation.

    THE BATTLE BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS (GOOD AND EVIL)
    Heaven is God's throne and the dwelling place for God's angels and the saints. Hell was meant for the devil (satan) and the fallen angels. Those who torture the souls in hell are demons (unclean spirits). Man's spirit is a free moral agent. You can either yield yourself to the Spirit God by choosing to do good or to the evil spirit by choosing to do wrong because God has given us discretion. If one thinks he possesses only his own spirit, he is lying to himself and he is already in the dark. God is light while the devil is darkness. Light (Holy Spirit) and darkness (evil spirit) cannot stay together in a man's body. God is Love (Love is light) and where there is no love is hell, just as where there is no light there is absolute darkness. The one you yield yourself to, you will get his reward. The reward of righteousness to man's spirit is life (abundant life) and the reward of sin to man's spirit is death. Sin and satan are one and the same. Whatever sin can cause, satan also can cause. Sin is what gives the devil dominion or power over man's spirit. When God's Word becomes a part of you, sin power over you is broken because Jesus and His Word are one and Jesus much more powerful that satan, and you become the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus. Where Jesus is, you are and when He went (to the Father), you went. In the book of John 8:42-47, Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” My prayer is, "May God bless His Word in the midst of your heart that it may become a part of you by meditating on the Word." Glory and honour be to God our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our Helper the Holy Spirit. Watch and pray!… Thank you for your time and may God bless you as you share this message with others.

  31. Based on 16 Wall Street analysts, price forecasts for UiPath Inc. (NYSE:PATH), there’s a high estimate of $30.00, representing a potential +35% increase from the last price of $22.23.

    UiPath (NYSE:PATH), an Artificial Intelligence automation processing software is the future of robotics.
    Software technology that will make it easy to build, deploy, and manage software robots that emulate human workflow.

  34. There could be a thousand reasons why Google hasn't chosen to release this. It might take too much compute, it might not be stable, it might have IP issues, they might be cherry picking the good output, it might be built on deprecated libraries so they can't maintain it, the senior architect might not still be at the company… etc., etc..

  42. It would be nice if they could give a time of when they think they've got the safety side of it worked out and then when it will be released to the public. It's amazing. Better than any other video generator I've seen but what good is it without access?
