Ok it's no secret that I'm a bit late to the LLM game... but I have to say: I have been having a LOT of fun generating videos with Veo 3.

Here is a music video (a collage of Veo 3 clips) based on Sprunki mix I made with my son! 🌞🙌🪩🎶

Enjoy! <3 #veo3 #sprunki

Sound on! 👍

It was a blast to visit the @cbehav.bsky.social ! I am impressed by their concentration of talent and creativity.

I am also grateful for the warm hospitality of @swarmdynamics.bsky.social and @joefresna.bsky.social, who made this day even more special!

Let's write a paper already :-)
Very happy to welcome a good friend @carlo.pinciroli.net in the wonderful Konstanz to speak about cool science for a couple of days! Hopefully, these meetings will trigger some fun collaboration!
