Aliens. Terminator. Titanic. Avatar.

What do they all have in common? This man.

All ready revered for cutting edge special effects, one has to wonder where the next masterpiece will come from.

Renowned director James Cameron has agreed to join the board of directors at Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion. This announcement comes despite Cameron’s previous concerns about AI’s potential impact on human purpose. Stability AI’s CEO, Prem Akkaraju, hailed Cameron’s addition as a significant moment for the AI industry, praising the director’s forward-thinking approach.

Cameron cited his history of adopting emerging technologies as a factor in his decision, particularly highlighting the potential of generative AI in CGI image creation for filmmaking. This move aligns with a growing trend of Hollywood studios partnering with AI companies, such as Lionsgate’s recent collaboration with Runway.

The article notes that while AI companies and studios view these partnerships positively, concerns persist within the industry. The use of AI was a significant factor in the recent Hollywood strikes by actors and writers. Additionally, Cameron has faced criticism for using AI to remaster some of his classic films.

The piece also mentions that Stability AI is currently facing lawsuits over alleged copyright infringement in training its models, which could potentially affect the company’s future plans. Despite these challenges, Cameron appears enthusiastic about engaging with the rapidly evolving AI space.

By now I would imagine the entire twitterverse (and social media in general) has seen the clip the XAi Grok created of Elon Musk and Donald Trump dancing to the song Staying Alive by the BeeGees. 

It is a clever piece with the faces of Donald Trump and Elon being superimposed over two individuals dancing. 

Hopefully anyone and everyone who sees this would know that this is a fake, or deepfake, clip of the two dancing. Hopefully. 

In an age where it is so easy to create something like this, often times I have to wonder if the fox is in the henhouse – the fox being Elon Musk. Grok has come underfire lately for NOT abiding by its own rules (or guardrails) for producing or altering images. You can easily google Barak Obama snorting cocaine to get a sense of what I am referring to – courtesy of Grok. 

But lets get back to the staying alive clip. I have not been able to find the original posting on X. I would like to for a number of reasons and perhaps the reader can help me find it to help me answer some linguring questions. 

Did the creator give credit to the BeeGees? Did the creator indicate who the original dancers were? Or which clip that was taken from? Did the creator get permission to use the song from the BeeGees copyright holder?

That’s it. That’s all I want to know. Boomers will recognize the song and what movie was associated with it. But a newer generation will be lost. Guardrails. And giving credit where credit is due.
