I have been smashing OpenArt lately as a sort of magic subsititue for Photoshop and quick scale photo edits. I never broke the back of Photoshop and could probably invest some time in the skills but Open AI's offering is pretty damn good and quite affordable when you consider how many credits you get. This is sort of replacing what they had with Dall-e 2 initially, but the toolkit is much more robust. The blend board stuff is REALLY good if you want to create wildly different elements from a single image. They incorporate the Flux model too https://openart.ai/home

OpenAI has launched today its flagship video generator, SORA. It's meant to be best in class, but we shall see. https://openai.com/index/sora/ Try it out for yourself folks! Edit: There is a massive influx of traffic right now and they are being deliberate about who they let use it. Be patient and come back again a few times. I'll be cracking it right open and giving you a breakdown as to what is good or bad about it. This video will be posted to this channel either today or tomorrow. I want you guys to feel that The Lost Futures will give you info on the most cutting edge synthographic methods as they break. I am part of about 20 different groups that I distill all the info from and give to you guys.

I am working on probably the most enormous campaign of my life right now for a New York agency. (Sorry I've been a little quiet but this is been consuming all my time and focus. Following tomorrow I'll be back on deck) But I thought I'd share with you some Keyframes that I developed using a Lora trained on my own face. I'm going to skill you guys up on how to do this technique. The Flux model blows everything out of the water. Those phone apps you get where they make an AI of your face are fisher price toys. This stuff is the real deal. We are living in a whole new reality my friends. Can't wait to share with you what I'm working on right now, it's the best piece of work I've ever made.

Ok, so for those who really want to see the machine room of my synthographic process, I invite you to have a casual look at my CivitAI creator page. Ask any questions you like and I will answer them in this thread. Extreme warning here: some of the stuff on this page is incredibly not-safe for work and not for the eyes of children so please ensure that you look at this in a safe environment. Also know that some of the material is quite disturbing - there's lots of demons and photorealistic convergences of all kinds of realities, theres blood, death, x-rated stuff - it's very explicit. So if you are spiritually sensitive please know that this is also a risky click. However, in terms of mechanics, you'll be able to click on each image and see what kind of Loras ive used and what weightings ive given each, you'll also be able to see what kind of prompts im entering. You will also see the sheer VOLUME of material I create. Synthography is very much about having a gamblers mentality, and spinning the wheel of fortune many times until the 'right' image appears. https://civitai.com/user/thelostfutures

Hello Cyberdelic Hyperloopers! We will be dropping the first module of the Cyberdelic Hyperloop course on Friday If you haven't signed up yet, I am offering this course to my first 108 students for the drastically reduced price of $108USD. Before you sign up though, i'll share with you a conversation I had this morning I had with a client that I met on a filmmaking forum group in Sydney. He was looking for someone who was an expert in AI visual design, and was immediatly pummelled with comments from people saying "Ai ArT iSnT aRt! YoU aRe SatAn!!111" I quietly pipped in and said "hello sir, I am a master of synthography and I can take care of all your needs." We had the convo this morning and lining the job up next week. Clean as hell, and I can charge a hefty rate for it - but then, in comparison to a whole VFX team, its a fraction of the cost. I want all of my students to be doing the same as me. In time, I want to develop some kind of network or DAO that can handle the workflow, because let me tell you, the demand is really starting to grow now that people are seeing what kind of results they can get from a much more streamlined and quick workflow. And synthography is the answer. If you want to be one of my first 108 students in Cyberdelic Hyperloop sign up now, and we will be kicking things off next FRIDAY the 13th. I will be dropping one module every few days, so we can all have a change to test out the material in real time. So head on over to our classroom now and sign up! https://www.skool.com/thelostfutures/classroom ---- Students here now have been so eager to get on board and it's phenomenal - and I cant wait to show you all my secrets. In the meantime, feel free to start your accounts in https://civitai.com/ and https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine These are the two primary tools you will be using to develop your hyperloop. Also, download and install Davinci Resolve, a super powerful FREE editing tool that you'll be building your loops in.
