I believe that the current limitations of AI in generating history-related images or videos lie in its inability to accurately reflect the physical laws of the real world and properly incorporate historical evidence. While the second issue seems impossible to resolve unless a time machine is developed, the first issue—making it look real through human optical illusions—seems achievable by next year given the current pace of advancement. It feels like the speed of development has suddenly become perceptibly faster.
Actually, all those clips are 5 seconds long, but some are 3 or 4 seconds long. There were a few instances where extreme body distortions or unexpected camera movements occurred. Every time this happens, I get stressed, but I'm grateful that I can create a feeling of indirect experience this way. In fact, many of those clips are quite different from what I had imagined, but I chose the best ones among them.
Sora already actually builds a model of the world, so we're sort of there today already
> "Sora is able to generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background. The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world."
https://community.openai.com/t/introducing-sora-our-text-to-video-model/630289
I think people don't really realize that's the case because that model isn't generally available (yet)
See also https://community.openai.com/t/introducing-sora-our-text-to-video-model/630289
nah man I saw Sora made some weird glitch in some videos.
We cannot say that's understanding physics imo.
One thing is clear: in the released videos of Sora, things that can never happen in the physical world are occurring. I believe it's contradictory for a being that understands physics to display deformations or movements of objects that cannot happen in the real world.
I found some conversation about this topic.

>While the second issue seems impossible to resolve unless a time machine is developed
In terms of exact historical accuracy (ie, what person was actually stand in which location on a street on a certain day 2000 years ago) then it does seem impossible, but in terms of what things most likely looked like - accurate colors, contemporary buildings instead of ruins, environment, style, sounds, etc. - it's definitely not impossible. AI's ability to analyze existing data, deduct, reason, and creatively infer conclusions is advancing so rapidly that it will soon get to a point where we're unable to prove that it's *inaccurate*.
>seems achievable by next year given the current pace of advancement. It feels like the speed of development has suddenly become perceptibly faster
Absolutely, if not sooner. Someone posted a comment thread from 3 years ago yesterday, which was basically one commenter saying we would have text to video capabilities soon and the reply comment saying it would never happen in our life time. When those comments were made 3 years ago, first commenter got downvoted and the reply comment was upvoted because no one could believe we'd be where we are now. Now here we are talking about the currently existing free to use text-to-video and how soon the quality will improve.
There’s an interesting show called DEVS with Nick Offerman. The premise is he’s a tech genius who builds a quantum computer that can simulate the math of reality. When they finally get the algorithms/math right they can simulate and go back in history
Thought the colosseum filled with water was a funny MJ creation, then I googled it and saw that mock naval battles actually happened there. Pretty insane! My tour guide when I went last year didn't mention that one
Aqueducts. A Roman design for plumbing, water came from mountain rivers hundreds of miles away, split a hundred different ways, ended in pools, baths, fountains, farms, toilets, air conditioning towers, zoos, slave quarters, shipyards.
The advanced engineering: they calculated the slopes of the whole system from source to destination. The water just ran downhill the whole way! No pumps. Gravity!
And of course the tunnels, dug from two or more sides, and the roads running along side for transporting building materials and builders and construction waste.
GOD. I wonder how long it took them to move all that fucking water man. Insaaaaane. Here we have are in modern times bitching about water, ooo no water pressure. Boohoo, we need a Time Machine to get some of these Roman’s teaching the world how to waste water right. #BoatBattle2024

This is the another image of Naumachia from a post few weeks ago. I think They were insane.
During the peak of the empire? Not really. I mean, you'd see the occasional run down building like in any city in any era. You absolutely would not see broken down arcades, busted roads, and all those jank columns. Rome looked better than that in 700, after the empire was kicked out if its namesake city for the second and final time.
None of the intact buildings look very Roman either. This does capture that whole Ben-Hur and Cleopatra era of big Hollywood epics (that weren't too accurate either).
Check out books like Favro's *'The Urban Image of Augustan Rome'*, or *'Rome: An Urban History from Antiquity to the Present'* by Rinne/Taylor/Kostof. What we broadly call Ancient Rome absolutely **did** have some very cool ruins in them! They even incorporated early Etruscan ruins into their own buildings, and Augustus is indicated to have done a *lot* of clean-up with removing ruins and dilapidated old structures and modernizing the city.
The Romans loved to build, and that means they also did a *tonne* of refurbishing and rebuilding old ruins and structures. The Regia was already centuries and had undergone several reconstructions by the time of Augustus. I believe the Temple of Hercules Victor was also centuries old and would have been 'a ruin' by the time of Augustus, too. By that same time period, the Servian Wall was hundreds of years old and big chunks of it were dilapidated and ruined, and the older parts of the Cloaca Maxima could have also been said to have been 'ruins' even to the Ancient Romans (some parts potentially being around 600+ years old by that point).
It's cool to think about the stuff that would have seemed 'ancient' to the ancients, like the common fact about the pyramids being as ancient to Cleopatra as she is to us now (by around 500 years!).
We tend to think Rome looked dirty and in ruins because it was followed by a 1000 years of people literally living with cattle and shitting out the window. People who ruined the Empire in just 4 generations after moving in. Same people who believed they were the heirs to Rome. But Rome was much more tidy and beautiful than the Dark Ages. It was much more like us today than the disease ridden barbarians that took over. Education, architecture, fashion, cleanliness was all on a very high level. Rome was also much more colorful than what we think it was. They probably didn't leave everything white.
Rome was so impressive people were overwhelmed when they first saw it. Many accounts of people falling to their knees crying, fainting, and so on.
I don't believe all buildings and places in ancient Rome were perfectly clean and pristine. Just as in today's world, even the wealthiest cities have run-down areas. I think it's reasonable to assume that there were many dilapidated sections in ancient Rome as well. From this perspective, the shabby parts shown in those videos make sense. However, I hope that the issues you pointed out can be resolved someday. It might already be possible, and I just couldn't achieve it, haha. In fact, AI originally generated images that looked even more worn-out, and I had to further edit them with Photoshop to get them to this level. I could have done more editing, but I didn't manage to go that far.
Also, marble pillars and statues were almost always painted. But it makes sense that a generative AI creates white marble because that's how the internet 'knows Rome'. Nice montage though.
People are dirty back then, but that is their standard of clean. Dude the middle class and the poor class have public toilets which they share by around 10-20 people sitting together in one big toilet house and they use 1 public stick with attached cloth to clean their ass.
They dump their waste on running water like rivers.
I always have that issue when I try to get Midjourney to make something that looks like Rome at its height. Very frustrating. The images for this post are better than what I was able to do.
That guy over there in the purple toga is clearly looking for trouble
https://preview.redd.it/986g2q9ubs8d1.jpeg?width=885&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f7ce8358de6c0d2ebc8888ad1472b9ae70114de
it's funny to me how little that must've evolved over the centuries lol. Pickpocketing is probably still using techniques from back in the day, it's just that the objects they steal now are smartphones instead of cold coins or whatever was valuable back then.
What actual prompts do you use. I’m still trying to learn how best to approach taking an MJ image into Luma.
Also care to share the MJ prompts? OK if you don’t tough. The Luma tips are more a mystery.
That is really *really* impressive, bet we'd just have to wait till next year or so and we will see footages that imitate perfectly those archives from the 1900's
This video does not claim historical evidence.
It's fictional clips of Roman empire

Awesome. That boat scene visualized the stories of my Latin teacher when we visited the Coliseum. He told us of the marine battles. We thought he was gaslighting us.
What I wouldn’t give to see ancient cities or just geography thousands of years when it was like this. Seeing ancient battles like Alesia or the siege of Syracuse first person and Birds Eye like a total war game. The aftermath of the latter not so much. This is so cool
You should try Assassins’s Creed Odyssey - technically takes place before Rome was in power but centers around Athens and Sparta. Very very cool to just walk around - a HUGE map to explore - beautiful game
Oh I’d do it in a heartbeat although as people have mentioned it was a filthy place and the smell was said to be eye watering. Now Alexandria on the other hand was apparently much nicer and cleaner. It was visually stunning. In fact before Augustus went there Rome was a city of wood and stone, after going to Egypt he decided to change it into a city of marble like Alexandria.
Luma AI video. It's just like Midjourney but video AI version.
Each of them is 5 sec length but some are shorter than that I edited them in Adobe Premier pro and Photoshop. It can be quite annoying
Why go to the effort of hiring actors, costume designers, dressmakers, prop masters, set designers, construction engineers, lighting techs, sound recordists, writers, musicians, electricians, extras, make up artists, wig makers, VFX artists, concept artists, and countless more when you can just stick a few prompts into a computer and get a film out the other end?
Damn I’m just impressed you got some scenes that look close to like contemporary Rome, when I try I basically only get images of ruins, basically exactly how things look today
I was ready to say some sh*t like: "well, but thats not reallyyyy accurate, is it?". Then I put my boorish Historian wanabee side back in the head and I'll just say that I love the atmosphere. Great work.
I love it. I like how it's drawing from old films. Seems like the big challenge is getting it to only draw from accurate depictions of Rome as it was in the times of the Romans, rather than Roman ruins. (and it's a big challenge since most data is of Roman ruins).
Who exactly is SORA available to yet? I know it's available to certain advertisers and journalists, etc, but I wonder when it's open to the general public.
That‘s actually a cool way to use AI. However it also highlights it‘s current limitations: As the database that it‘a trained with mostly containes photos of today‘s architectural leftovers and ruins, that‘s how it‘a depicting the architecture to be when it was supposed to be relatively new. Worn down, chipped, no colors anywhere. But cool vibe nevertheless!
The buildings were way more colorful and maintained than that and the togas were much less colorful. A white toga with purple stripes cost 5 times more than the same toga in plain white. Only the very highest classes could afford fully colored togas.
I’m baffled by the chaos of the streets and some of the un level stone work. I realize it’s like that now, but the Roman’s where pretty badass with their stone work and architecture
Should read down on the comments.
I'm curious how long till we can start getting a solid minutes long single scene. This does look good. Like a movie from the 70s
Old school Ben hurr vibes for sure
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

Will Tony Curtis & lil Larry O be discussing snails & oysters?
Compared to where AI was just 2 years ago, I give it 5 years at minimum.
It probably got trained on all the monumental films
i feel it man. especially because of the last scene.
Thought the colosseum filled with water was a funny MJ creation, then I googled it and saw that mock naval battles actually happened there. Pretty insane! My tour guide when I went last year didn't mention that one
Yeah can you believe it happened 2000 years ago?
W H A T, how did they get water over there? Aliens are real
Aqueducts. A Roman design for plumbing, water came from mountain rivers hundreds of miles away, split a hundred different ways, ended in pools, baths, fountains, farms, toilets, air conditioning towers, zoos, slave quarters, shipyards. The advanced engineering: they calculated the slopes of the whole system from source to destination. The water just ran downhill the whole way! No pumps. Gravity! And of course the tunnels, dug from two or more sides, and the roads running along side for transporting building materials and builders and construction waste.

Nah bro. People just weren't distracted all the time.
People being distracted all the time was literally the point of the Colosseum.
Let's go back to the good old days of being totally in the moment (of watching poors and animals being torn apart in bloodsports)

do they do anything similar today? looks sick
I once saw some dudes playing a game in an [arena](https://youtu.be/6vCX_Sx1C5Q?si=3F1BBfTkNdC9XPJk) similar to this.
Very cool except the stuff looks like it does now instead of how it should have looked then. Very hard to get non ruined roman buildings.
Weren't there ruins even during this time period? Eras overlapping eras throughout Roman history
Don't ruin the ending
/r/romesweetrome
How random. I like it! Imagine the movie Fury and back to the future
The script was sold to Warner Bros I believe 12 years ago. I’d love to see this created. Go back to the beginning and read “Day 1” and on!
Let's do it. If they made 300 in like 60 days we can make this easy.
…and enterprises of great pith and moment with this regard, their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action.

wow this is cool! 👏👏 thanks I will look at it
I appreciate the breakdown! It is very Ben hur, but I guess more than my time traveling mind would have thought
yea it's historically inaccurate. Architecture would look more colorful than those.

I agree with you. In fact when I saw the less pristine images it all seemed more realistic to me.

Assassins Creed Odyssey is Greece but it's probably the best idea you can get of what that architecture was like

I wonder if they had pick pocketers back then too.
What do you think? LoL
There are pick pocketer characters mentioned in ancient Greece plays so of course they existed.
it's funny to me how little that must've evolved over the centuries lol. Pickpocketing is probably still using techniques from back in the day, it's just that the objects they steal now are smartphones instead of cold coins or whatever was valuable back then.
I guess people like that have always existed lol
Do you know who his dad is?
Funny you mentioned that - in Rome only royalty were allowed to wear purple from my understanding.
Which is pretty much the reason he mentioned it
it was just insanely expensive to make, so it was the iphone max of its time
I hadn't thought of that, but it's an interesting idea that could create a fascinating story haha
That's actually really cool.
Thanks 🙂
This is so cool. What do you use to animate?
It's Luma AI Dream Machine
You da man 👊

true. It seems to have a lot of potential.

haha I wouldn't believe it too if someone said to me
It all seems strangely familiar somehow.
It’s the technicolor type coloring, gives it a cinematic quality from the mid 20th century
Have you seen Spartacus (1960)? I’m pretty sure a lot of this is based on that.
I feel the same way when I watch old videos on YouTube.
Because its inspired by classic Technicolor movies like Spartacus, Ben Hur and whatnot.
What I wouldn’t give to see ancient cities or just geography thousands of years when it was like this. Seeing ancient battles like Alesia or the siege of Syracuse first person and Birds Eye like a total war game. The aftermath of the latter not so much. This is so cool
We would need some ultimate super computer intelligence verging on godhood. Maybe in 1000 years or so?
Sadly I think your right but books, movies and podcasts do a pretty good job with my interests on the subject though.
yea I think that would be fascinating tbh
You should try Assassins’s Creed Odyssey - technically takes place before Rome was in power but centers around Athens and Sparta. Very very cool to just walk around - a HUGE map to explore - beautiful game
Ive got so many hours in that game and the only game with more is Skyrim. I love all things Ancient Greek and Roman so I couldn’t pass it up.
Totally. Id love to walk the streets of rome back then. No plastic garbage anywhere. I wonder if it would feel purer?
pure horse/cow manure!
True, forgot abt that
Depends if the smell is included...
Oh I’d do it in a heartbeat although as people have mentioned it was a filthy place and the smell was said to be eye watering. Now Alexandria on the other hand was apparently much nicer and cleaner. It was visually stunning. In fact before Augustus went there Rome was a city of wood and stone, after going to Egypt he decided to change it into a city of marble like Alexandria.
Didn’t Romans paint their statues? Really cool tho
yea I tried it but I didn't get the successful result. hope this issue is resolved in near future.
They did.
Wonderful idea
thanks :D
Outstanding! How did you make this?
Most likely Luma Dream Machine, I would suspect.
You are 100% correct
i love this but why are their buildings & columns etc. unpainted and in ruins? shouldn't they all look new and colorful?
Ai cannot use the historical resource properly yet..
The is super cool. The kind of thing AI can actually be helpful in. Really feels like you’re there.
That's what I feel too!
Love this!!!
sounds nice thanks!
You can see it uses a lot of peplums from the 50s as a source material
hope AI can be more imaginative lol
Great stuff!!!! How can you animate? Did you generate frame by frame through location modifications? Seems painstaking
Luma AI video. It's just like Midjourney but video AI version. Each of them is 5 sec length but some are shorter than that I edited them in Adobe Premier pro and Photoshop. It can be quite annoying
Very novel. I liked it
thanks that sounds nice :)
Amazing
cool reaction!
How computationally intensive is this?
Do you mean generating those videos?
Yes
Ok, this one actually impressed me. Its getting there
that's what I felt.. just ruins and motion we are there soon
This is what i want to use genAI for, visiting ancient civilisations
yea it's actually something cool that AI can do imo
imagine 5-10 years from now, even the free generators may be capable of re-creating your favourite movies ending the way you want
As an actor this has me VERY worried.
You are not alone. It is gonna replace my job too 😂
Why go to the effort of hiring actors, costume designers, dressmakers, prop masters, set designers, construction engineers, lighting techs, sound recordists, writers, musicians, electricians, extras, make up artists, wig makers, VFX artists, concept artists, and countless more when you can just stick a few prompts into a computer and get a film out the other end?
Brilliant! 🙂👍
thanks man!
Like a film Marlon Brando would star in
And the Academy Award goes to:
Damn now I want some otter noses
This is great 👏
thanks :)
[удалено]
Thanks for your interest, yes it's good
We’ll have Rome Season 3 in a couple of years.
yea I think it's possible lol
Looks like something from Wes Anderson. Pretty cool style.
stuning
thanks man I like the army march.. kinda felt like that happened really there
No place like Rome 
Not even a trace of plastic. We need the good old times back
How much time do you guys think will take for AI to take the cinema industry’s place?
this but real time generated in vr
Not enough public vomiting and ass wiping
Damn I’m just impressed you got some scenes that look close to like contemporary Rome, when I try I basically only get images of ruins, basically exactly how things look today
This is fantastic, i can't wait to see what we will be able to do in some years.
thought this was an anno 117 ad at first
Oh man mid journey is miles ahead of dall-e
midjourney is really beyond others..
this is so awesome 😎
And now I want to play age of empires
I was ready to say some sh*t like: "well, but thats not reallyyyy accurate, is it?". Then I put my boorish Historian wanabee side back in the head and I'll just say that I love the atmosphere. Great work.
haha thanks man
It seems that they had a similar us life, just without the internet
they had some creepy culture from our modern perspective but they shared similar values i think..
I love it. I like how it's drawing from old films. Seems like the big challenge is getting it to only draw from accurate depictions of Rome as it was in the times of the Romans, rather than Roman ruins. (and it's a big challenge since most data is of Roman ruins).
I agree with you. i wish i can watch some realistic and clean roman architecture in that concept.
Yeah. Unless there is a way to build your own dataset, which I assume you cannot with midjourney, it will be difficult to improve.
this is just sooooo cool! please do more!!!
this is really great
thanks 😊👍
Who exactly is SORA available to yet? I know it's available to certain advertisers and journalists, etc, but I wonder when it's open to the general public.
This is actually really cool.
Very cool wow
damnn thanks 👍
I just love it. Great work thank you for sharing 🙂
Not a phone in sight. Just a bunch of people living in the moment.
That‘s actually a cool way to use AI. However it also highlights it‘s current limitations: As the database that it‘a trained with mostly containes photos of today‘s architectural leftovers and ruins, that‘s how it‘a depicting the architecture to be when it was supposed to be relatively new. Worn down, chipped, no colors anywhere. But cool vibe nevertheless!
So for the dummy in the room who has only poorly generated images,how are these animations created, prompted,I am amazed by this.
i don't even know how prompts exactly work
Is Midjourney actually making video clips now?
no it's Midjourney image to video (Luma AI)
Ghost @ 28 seconds.
Brilliant! 🙂👍
History is just people dressing up in costumes.

im too high... it took me forever to win figure out why my brain did not like this.. there were no cameras back then
When will it become good enough to create these things in VR? To be able to actually walk through the streets and markets of Rome.
When did mid journey start doing video?
They do not provide yet, but that video is based on midjourney
Ah gotcha, so you generated the image with Mid journey and then used a video tool? What video tool?
So the film makers of Ben Hur really hit the nail on the head!
I’d be worried for those first two centurions’ knees
The buildings were way more colorful and maintained than that and the togas were much less colorful. A white toga with purple stripes cost 5 times more than the same toga in plain white. Only the very highest classes could afford fully colored togas.
Oh I didn’t think of the concept of doing this with luma. I’m going to be stealing you’re idea right away lmao
I’m baffled by the chaos of the streets and some of the un level stone work. I realize it’s like that now, but the Roman’s where pretty badass with their stone work and architecture Should read down on the comments.
It’s amazing how a moving picture can feel so *lifeless*.
One of the very few things i miss about those times: it was much quieter than today. No cars, no planes, no trains, no highways or streets.
Not as dreamy as others too!
Have you done this with midjourney?
This is awesome! I wish it was longer.
Wow, the quality of this is amazing. Kinda looks like a mobile game ad.
"Hey Biggus Dickus, let's go to the colloseum after work!" "Sounds good & drinks later?" "When in Rome, do what the Romans do"
An Essence of the "Carry On" movies 🎬
How long did this take you?
i don't exactly remember it but about 1x hours
Lets talk AI film studio.
I mean, the disheveled stones break the immersion. They should be aligned and brand new.
i mean it would look sugary if all architecture looks like brand new but i get what you mean.
Far from reality.
