Three people joke about speedrunning Lord of the Rings by having eagles fly Frodo to Mount Doom, then pivot to praising an AI model's lip-syncing accuracy. The model releases to the public on February 24.
Here's what Lord of the Rings could have been. Ready? Yeah. Speedrunning Lord of the Rings in 15 seconds.
Mr. Frodo, why don't we just take the eagles straight to Mount Doom? That actually makes sense.
But again, like, to me, the thing that's the most impressive out of all of this is how well the voices line up with the people.
Frodo, why don't we just take the Eagles straight to Mount Doom?
Like, that is the best lip syncing I've seen out of any of these models so far, personally.
Yeah, for sure. It's great. I want the model— you said 24th, right? February 24th?
Supposedly that's when everybody gets access to it. Yeah, so we'll see.
