Blackbird Share Discussion Threads

Well from the AI generated images I've seen to date they are instantly recognisable as such. They have a very long way to go before they are photorealistic. Video wise I can only assume even more so.

I’ll worry when AI can do fingers convincingly.

It’s definitely all pervasive atm though, but has many fundamental flaws which will doubtless be resolved at quite a pace.

I’m more worried about the capabilities of drones crossing the line between Sci-fi and reality. Think HAL combined with Terminators, the spiders from Minority Report all controlled from a Matrix and we are edging ever closer.

‘I do sometimes fear that things are moving faster than we believe.’

🤯

Have been trying to tell you all that!

None of this lets amble along building a business over the next 3 years 😂

Also it's important not to forget the significance of the player as and when it is integrated with the editor. It will collect data and data is a bigger market than the $20b creator tools market. We don't know the specifics beyond that Blackbird will be able to share enhanced creator monetisation and enable data collection on viewer preferences and viewing habits. Whether this will be charged directly to the creator or a compelling means of driving creators to use elevate is unknown at this stage.

@cyberbub ... i worry not just about us investors here, but other applications and the general jobs market in the near future!

i hope we get bought out before this brave new world occurs!

No people want genuine, pure, and real content. Have you ever played a computer game and used a cheat mode? Good for an hour, but then complete lack of boredom. AI is good and will assist to a degree, but the majority want authenticity.

[gb904150] 26/2/2024 16:24

I think that as the amount of AI content increases people will increasingly value the stuff that is genuine, original and has value.

AI will enable the best creators to create more content, more polished, more professional. I think it's an equalizer bringing pro levels of content creation to individuals. More of a decentralising power approach.

Just look at things like balancing sound or adding sub titles, or overlaying lower thirds, or optimising colour. Those things used to get done manually and used to take up a lot of time and require a whole team of people.

It was only available at pro level.

Now those things can be done in a few clicks using AI tools.

The more generic AI out there the more there will be a thirst for genuine, original, engaging, entertaining content that is different to the mainstream.

So in short....I think it's a good thing. Empowering the masses to do the stuff that until recently was only available to a limited few.

Is anyone worried about AI stories like this? I do sometimes fear that things are moving faster than we believe... Is there a risk that within not very many years there may be no real need for human video editing and collaboration at all? If you can type a complex plot into an AI and get a fully fledged almost-real movie produced, and you can edit it by just typing a few commands, will Elevate (and many other tools) be redundant??https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/feb/23/tyler-perry-halts-800m-studio-expansion-after-being-shocked-by-ai

The elevate.io website has moved on some way since I last looked at it. It's now clear and concise on the benefits of using the software:
Collaboration
Editing
Review & Approve
Flexibility
Media Management
Technology

If Elevate is very successful (and we should know within 6-9 months whether it's going to be a blockbuster) then 22p will be easily surpassed in due course IMO. Nevertheless I would tend to agree that if you're that confident Salmon, it's definitely worth you averaging down while you still can at 7p. Unless you've got so many at 22p that you can't meaningfully average down... Good luck anyway.

[muffster] 25/2/2024 21:15

Something fishy there. Sorry couldn't resist.Consider averaging down Salmon as that's a long way to go to break even. May never get to that price

Let's hope you do too!!

[geheimnis2] 25/2/2024 20:21

Let’s hope you feel that way in a couple of months time, salmon!

In 50 years of equity investing I have never found a share with what I believe to be as much upside potential as Blackbird.
Looking at the current share price I should, perhaps on the face of it, be concerned since my average cost is 22p, but the fact is that I am excited and I am not concerned at all.

[sideshowbull] 25/2/2024 18:05

We have 29 upticks in the header
and 1 down tick(what is that about)? it's a BB we have no control over BIRD.

You all know my feelings about BIRD.

Have my shares in ISA and even CTF.

I do not trade BIRD - in for the long haul -which may be a very short haul soon- and happy to be.

No advice,

Well after so much boredom and frustration - we should at last be moving into an exciting phase for the company?

[nick2412] 24/2/2024 03:40

Nick, that's why they will be going down the route of partnerships as confirmed by either Mo Valens or Sumit Rai when asked the question. I understand it was a one-word answer but an emphatic 'yes' nonetheless.

The stated objective is to gain traction in the market with existing cash and if a takeover comes it comes, if not, a product with market traction and the best technology equates to a substantially higher share price - takeover or no takeover. I do agree with you that there will be a takeover but my perspective is that it's not likely to be imminent as in the next couple of months. Anyway, we have covered all that ad nauseam.

As you know
elevate is a product Blackbird 10 is a technology

It’s the technology that has arrived to enable scaling but it needed a product to demonstrate it and monetise it.

Very important milestone has now arrived

However the opportunity is too big for us on our own.

Interesting problem, can Ian solve it?
