What is kino, what is slop?
I’m starting to coalesce a vision for what I want from this world. It begins with high-quality memes. The distinction is about AI slop.
KINO
Stuff that I would enjoy consuming
AI Hör Berlin concept art
AI TV Seinfeld (Nothing Forever)
AI-generated first person video games with branding (MrBeast, Rick&Morty, etc)
AI generated building / from Loot Realms project
AI-generated Podcast episode with Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. 30k views vs. the slop version (below) with only 800.
SLOP
CROP vs. TOP
What’s the difference between these two?
AI Joe Rogans
SLOP - uses real lip sync. But the shit ain’t funny.
TOP - uses only static image frames spliced together with voice cloning. But it’s actually super entertaining. Less realistic / more jank - but better watch.
AI videos
SLOP - the Storyteller.AI videos. Generated using AI video pipelines. Contrast/colouring sucks and it’s blurry motion. Not entertaining necessarily either, just noisy content (though it’s beta examples anyways).
TOP - DemonFlyingFox. Another example of static image frames, this time with short lip syncs, and very very good style tuning. Plus subtitles and good music/soundtracking.
Conclusion
