mysterious AI & Web3 phenomenons

🤖 Google's Imagen Video AI looks scary (for competitors)

A week after Meta's public statement regarding their video AI "Make-A-Video", Google is also following suit with the Imagen video AI.

The Meta and Google AIs are both still in an early stage of development. However, one can already guess how powerful these tools can become and which new possibilities will be created for content creators and creatives.

But just convince yourself, and most of all keep your eyes peeled 👀

🖼️ Reddit users just got unknowingly onboarded into NFTs

The Reddit Collectible Avatars are currently the talk of the town, especially because of the high trading volumes. But that should not interest us here today.

Because it is much more intriguing that on the way here the term "NFT" was never officially mentioned. Even now the running gag is still that people talk about "collectibles" and not NFTs 😄

While it was never hidden that the "Collectibles" are on the Polygon Blockchain, you could only buy the avatars with FIAT currencies, and you had to set up a personal Blockchain-based VAULT (wallet) on Reddit.

Although the whole endeavor is as Web2 as it gets, it doesn't change the fact that there is considerable onboarding into the NFT world going on behind the scenes 🧠

grim Social Media news

✨ The Musk-Twitter tale comes to an end

It was clear that "buying Twitter" would not be realized overnight. However, we didn't necessarily expect that there would be so many ups and downs on the way to completion.

In the last few weeks, the news have been all over the place: Musk wanted to pull out of the deal, he claimed that a huge % of Twitter users are bots and information emerged that Musk knows that this is not true.

Then recently a rumor circulated that Musk plans on cutting 75% of the Twitter staff which, however, does not seem to be true either. 

Which led us to the point where Elon carried a sink into the Twitter HQ, signaling that the deal is going to go through soon. And indeed shortly after this, the nightmare has come to an end 🙈
