What if text prompts enabled anyone to make a blockbuster movie, or even an entire box-set’s worth of TV? That is the promise of AI. This technology could one day prove as transformative to the movie business as sound, colour, or even the camera itself. Generative AI can already make videos in seconds which would normally take a visual-effects artist days to create. However it has yet to master photo-realistic video. The people at the forefront of this tech say it is only a matter of time.
00:29 How does AI-generated video work?
02:43 How long until feature films are generated by AI?
03:57 Can AI-generated videos be photorealistic?
04:36 How revolutionary is AI in film?
05:05 A dystopian threat to jobs or democratisation of the industry?

,1,Why are two old, unpopular men the main candidates for the world’s most demanding job? It’s the question John Prideaux, The Economist’s US editor, gets asked the most. And the answer lies in the peculiar politics of the baby boomers.
Since 1992, every American president bar one has been a white man born in the 1940s. That run looks likely to span 36 years - not far off the age of the median American. This cohort was born with aces in their pockets. Their parents defeated Nazism and won the cold war. They hit the jobs market at an unmatched period of wealth creation. They have benefitted from giant leaps in technology, and in racial and gender equality.
And yet, their last act in politics sees the two main parties accusing each other of wrecking American democracy. As the boomers near the end of their political journey, John Prideaux sets out to make sense of their inheritance and their legacy.
Launching July 2024.

,1,There is currently a war being waged against America that threatens the very liberty of our nation — and it’s one you might not expect. It's not the war on free speech or freedom of religion. It's the war on beef. Who better to discuss this war than American cattle rancher Shad Sullivan? Shad is the R-CALF USA Private Property Rights Committee chair. In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Shad and Glenn discuss the “war on beef” and why it matters to everyday Americans. Shad explains the issues with California’s Prop 2 and Prop 12 and how they impact the whole country. He delves into the problems with sustainable development and the collusion between global elites and mega corporations — particularly the partnership between USDA, Farm Journal, agricultural schools, and producers. He warns against plans to reduce meat consumption, explaining that “millions would starve OVERNIGHT” under global sustainability initiatives. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Shad has suggestions on how Americans can stand up to the anti-meat agenda — and they start with the Constitution.

,1,Blaze Media has revealed that the person who discovered the pipe bomb near the DNC headquarters on January 6, 2021, was a Capitol Police plainclothes officer. Previously, the it had only been reported that a "passerby" found the pipe bomb. Isn't this important information to have, Glenn asks? So, why was it hidden from us? Glenn also discusses how, apparently, a Secret Service agent and an MPD officer decided to finish their lunch after being informed of the pipe bomb, which was located about 15 feet away from their vehicle. Shouldn't they have immediately investigated, especially since they were part of then-VP Elect Kamala Harris' security detail?
