Midjourney’s Next Chapter: V8, Style Tools, and The 99.99% Problem
Notas do episódio
Rory and Drew try to keep up with AI like two dads jogging after a runaway stroller.
They dig into Midjourney v8 rumors, the new Style Finder vs. Style Creator, and why personalization has everyone stuck in a pink-blue haze. They compare Sora 2’s shock-tightened IP rules to Veo 3.1’s practical upgrades, then sprint through Runway’s new “apps,” Reve’s under-the-radar glow-up, and a wild photo tool (Phota) that restyles real shots without wrecking the moment.
It’s fun, a little chaotic, and weirdly useful.
