This week and next week I will be attending an AI-focused bootcamp. Thanks to Farshad Einabadi, who is the tutor, it is an incredible experience. One of the most beneficial events in a long time.
I don’t want to go into details because I don’t understand the AI issues. The course is aimed at beginners and includes programming in Python. In this way, Farshad is showing us how AI works and how we can use AI to create.
The first part of the course was about Stable Diffusion and image generation. Below you can see examples of the four images I generated. These are edits of my favorite photos (+ 1 drawing) from the history of cinema. I had them edited to depict a world where films were replaced by TikTok a long time ago.
Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein edits his latest TikTok video.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder shoots his new TikTok video.

A camera ride during the filming of the TikTok version of Diamonds of the Night (1964).

And finally, a slightly depressing shot of an empty cinema and two characters watching a mobile phone on screen.
