TITAA #55.1: A Different Simulated City
Video Gen Leaps - City Builders - Narrative Premises - Galaxy Emergence
I’m on the road and it’s a miracle I’ve got as much pulled together as I do here… But no opening article! In this mid-month paid subs news section: reviewing Midjourney’s personalization training, the amazing new Luma Labs video generation app and other new open source models, Blockade’s new 3D pano model and styles, gaussian splats in 2 practical uses; in the weird section, a new book on cunning magic folk, Skibidi toilets and the backrooms source, weird galaxies, animal yoga pictures and Stable Diffusion 3 bodies; in games news, a bunch of interesting city builder stuff; enough narrative work for its own section, with a few fun papers and datasets… you get the idea! Happy mid-month news fest!
