Runway’s Ai Manurned Films. The founders of a 3 billion dollar startups have a bold and new text: building overwhelming worlds

Artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre Augusta Rainwar and Edghar de Sigas were mocked, described by their work by critics as a “base”, “incomplete”, and the worst thing that happens to art. The exhibition is floundering, the exhibition witnessed 3,500 visitors, mostly by expressing terror in regular tires and individual brush strikes.

About about a decade, George Seyrat will start Sunday afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte. Seven feet length and ten feet, Sunday It will become more popular for the Impressionist branch technology, Pointillism.

SundayThe central imagination was simple – a detailed photo this afternoon in the Parisian garden on the Seine. If you look closely, you can see distinctive spots of colors and light that were growing into umbrellas, tools, hats, humans and a click on the wheel. Each image can be detected, and dismantled at individual points – pixels in the analog age. There is a direct line directly between Seurat, the impressionists and the total pixel space, the winning movie this month Runway Ai Film Festival (AIFF).

“The pixels are the basic building blocks of digital images, and the small tiles that make up mosaics,” says the velvety audio commentary of the film. “Each pixel is defined by numbers that represent the color and the place. Therefore, any digital image can be represented as a sequence of numbers … Therefore, every image can be taken at all as coordinates. Each frame of each movie is possible as coordinates. Each face can be seen at all as coordinates. It would deny the existence of the same numbers.”

Yaqoub Adler, who made the total area of ​​pixels, is a classic trained musician and composer, a multidisciplinary artist presented by a movie director by Advances in artificial intelligence. Adler worked in the film for more than a year, as tens of thousands of photos are born along the way, inspired by the short story of Jorge Luis Borges “Babylon Library” and a logical miracle in a vast world.

Adler said: “I was fascinated by the act of generating these pictures, and all these philosophical questions were born,” Adler said. “In this broad consensual space for language, the vast majority of letters collections are wet and nar. So, apply this to digital images: How many pictures can be present? How many of these images are incomprehensible noise?

Summer, and 3 billion dollars of artificial intelligence startupAIFF has been hosted since 2023 to display short films made with artificial intelligence. This year’s festival-thanks to the total Pixel Space-classified a big leap: from 300 approximate operations in the small New York City theaters in 2023 to the Lincoln Center with 6000 families, drawing an international crowd. Runway did not choose the winner-a committee of judges, including Harmony Korine and Gaspar Noe, he called-but the total pixel area reflects how the amphitheater thinks about his own future: experiences generated from artificial intelligence that not only tell stories, but build worlds.

“We will have all these new forms of media that go beyond movies and games, which are located in all spaces between them,” said Anastasis Germanidis, Runway Cto and the founder. “Some of them may seem like an overwhelming theatrical production, where there is a fixed story, but you can move, and try it from different views.”

“Imagine that these models are really good in generating realistic images of reality, and you have a world through which you can simulate most of what we care mainly while moving in the world. This will be a very important part of the problems.

GERMANIDIS is considering simulating the world as a principle more than anything else; One can be applied not only to stories, but to biology, robots and physics. It is clear about finding ways to imitate them not only humans, but physics and biology.

“We want to be able to simulate all your instructions in the material world,” he said, “He said,” Cristobal ValencalliaCEO and founding from Runway. “We know that this is coming … The artificial intelligence laboratories were very obsessed with simulating the human mind. But I think this may be the wrong approach in the long run. What you want to do is not to simulate how humans work, but how the world works.”

We see the beginnings of this strategy is running this week, as Runway plans to launch an interactive games experience A batch in the game market. The product is now the generation of text and images, but it is expected to become increasingly visual over time. How will all of this eventually lead to foggy-building applications-and this is part of this point.

“If you have a pre -determined way to get there, it will be very late and it is clear,” said Valencallia. “For me, it is due to the extent of creativity (something) … If you are not involved in creative works, you do not understand that. Most people who have any form of creative expression in their work know that when they start, they do not know exactly where they go.

The runway is not a shortage of competition in the generation of video intelligence – including not limited to that Sura OpenaiAI, Moonvalley and Pika Labs. The corridor is in its position as they must continue to distinguish between themselves for competition. The company has collected more than $ 500 million so far from investors such as General Atlantic, Softbank, Nafidiaand Salesforce Projects, Felix and coat. According to what was reported, a dead approach to the runway Try to get the company before dropping billions on the AI ​​scale this summer.

The history of art is a history of technological disorder, from the invention of the printing press to the emergence of “Talkies” in the twenties of the twentieth century. Functional displacement is, of course, part of that story – and it was always.

“Before the printed press, all the monks and people who knew how to share specific stories were.” “Then, with a printing press, more people can read and write, which was treated as a horrific event.”

This is true: When the Press Press was invented in 1440 and the spread of technology was adopted, religious authorities were displaced from the loss of control, and the scribes’ unions were explained. But it is now possible to read a world of people, and stories can expand.

Valenzuela shows another example, this is an example filled with Droll Comedy:

“Before the invention of the hours, you will rent a man who came to your door, while you want it, and throw a stone on your window.” “This was a job. What would you do if you do not have a family around and need to wake up?”

In the nineteenth century Britain and Ireland, these people were called “the tools of the judge.” They click on Windows with a long stick or fired pea on Windows to wake workers to transformations. Once the hours are invented, it became natural for people to use alarm hours. like Artificial intelligence comes on Hollywood windows, The trend in which Valzuelaa is participating directly, the industry reaction was fraught with it – even with its secret use.

“It was a little dirty secret, because whether it was listed or, as you know, he has small competition,” said Michael Burns, Vice President of Lionsgate on the stage at AIFF. “We believe that this tool is used by every person who does not talk about the fact that they use it.”

Geermanidis from Runway says there are three stages of the development of technological art: obtaining technology for work, imitating current art forms, and then creating unique shapes. We have just started to “enter this third stage, such as obstetric models.” This does not mean, of course, that everything should be Amnesty International-Adler, an artist whose practice was mainly expanded with artificial intelligence, it is clear that some things (such as surreal images and philosophical concepts) are perfectly suitable towards artificial intelligence, while other materials (such as complex human interactions) are not.

Adler said: “I look at (AI) as a tool, but I don’t know yet whether I am convinced that it is a new type,” Adler said. ))

This alone is an incredible phenomenon that talks about excitement and fear. This runway and its competitors in the video of artificial intelligence are already causing them all over the world of art and the media and entertainment. However, for the founders of Runway, the true reward for seeing artificial intelligence, if they can withdraw it, will extend beyond the screen, which is existing as an amazing, overwhelming thing – and may not be identified.
