With these images I ended up creating a whole classic eq trailer with them. You can check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiH7WLTwm9M

This project probably took 3 weeks on and off and some coin with all the regenerations to make things work properly. Hope you enjoy! Thinking of doing some other zones perhaps.

I did image to video it in the link at the top. Made a whole trailer but I used Kling Ai.

oh shit. yeah didn't read. my bad.

edit: yeah looks dope, i can't wait until we can just dump all the text from a book into a LLM and have it create a movie. i'd rather watch the version AI makes like the "Balenciaga style" movie trailers than whatever HBO is making right now for their Snow Crash adaptation for example.

This is incredible! I really hope you do more of them

The only ones I didnt recognize were the Ogres. The one in the beginning I thought was a Orc and the one near the end I thought was an undead dwarf

Thanks. Yeah some were off for sure. I supposed the first one is how I always say myself as an ogre. I'm going to try later to get the classic ogres and trolls down for sure rather than looking more orcish.

You think I lie? All these engines are about as endearing as autotune. Anything anyone can do always has a short shelf life. Look at the Twist. It came and went, ya know?

you're confusing VR goggles with tech that just enabled companies to fire 95% of their code monkeys

this is the most disruptive tech to be invented since the automobile, gun powder, diesel tractor or whatever else u want to use as an example.

we're gonna see UBI or insane government funded work programs due to the amount of unemployed here in about 2 years

No, I totally know what you are talking about. I meant, these AI graphic generations. These are very amusing. Lots of people are creating pretty freaky stuff that really makes you wonder how they did it, the quality of the generation, and so forth.

But since these things can be generated ad infinitum, well.

Remember when people would put a poster of a fractal up on their dorm room wall? I do. I remember when there were $$$ coffee table books with fractal images in them.

That's gonna happen with this stuff too. After 10,000 "this is what xyx AI said my life looks like!" posts, one gets weary.

Covid was a test of how stable the system is if, well, no one, or very few people, are actually working. It turns out we could easily make this system operate with a one-day work week. But socially, that's another question. Covid was this "it's pandemic!" scenario that allowed for a one-off chance to test, if something like a UBI and drastically shorted work week can operate the machines. It can, easily.

Now we have to figure out how to transition to it.

Popcorn, is all I can say. Lots and lots of popcorn will be needed.

edit: and for those who say, what about construction? You can't have 500 people working on a 100 person job just because everyone only works one day a week, that isn't how construction operates, naturally that kind of work would be done in chunks of the person's time. Stints in the field, so to speak. Much like the national guard operates, correct?

No good artists and engineers are going to waste their time putting together reinvisioned EverQuest teaser trailers. This is basically fan art. It’s fun for fun-sake.

The future is fraught with problems but not because someone likes EQ and spent time daydreaming what it would look like in 2025 using modern tools.

Sadre Spinegnawer

Yeah. I was agreeing with Ekco that these amusing things are not really the show here.

The real show is, you will be told you need to start training Bernie, you new AI boss robot at the Speedway.

idk how i never noticed this thread before. love the sand giant. only thing i would change is maybe bringing the glowing red eyes back on the specters. Would be a neat mechanic if they only glew red when they were targeting a player / someone had aggro.

I'm from an area of the US that is kind of known for pronouncing everything different/weird, or having slang that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world, so that prob plays a big part here. But also I don't think it's completely unheard of, apparently the phrase has been used in a lot of literature over the years.

Reiwa even a broken clock is right twice a day as they say in my language. I like this and thanks for sharing and while I don't fix clocks I do clean them professionally on occasion. Cool ogre, and if you only step sufficiently correctly maybe we can coexist culturally (welcome back also) and I won't have to waive my fee for professional services. We're all busy but I'll pencil you in if you are asking me for it.

kind of funny, if you think about it. How AI automates everything, and everyone hates it.

Yet they all use the same word to describe AI without adding any creativity to it at all :)

Not calling you out feniin, but isn't it kind of ironic? That everyone who hates AI because its automated, all use the same word to describe it lol

And yeah, I agree, someone do another round! It's gotten better.

Or maybe with DLSS (https://www.theverge.com/news/895472/nvidia-dlss5-generative-ai-pc-graphics) it will just be on by default now :D
