Google Launches Veo 3, an AI Video Generator That Incorporates Audio

Google on Tuesday unveiled Veo 3, an AI video generator that includes synchronized audio -- such as dialogue and animal sounds -- setting it apart from rivals like OpenAI's Sora. The company also launched Imagen 4 for high-quality image generation, Flow for cinematic video creation, and made updates to its Veo 2 and Lyria 2 tools. CNBC reports: "Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing," Eli Collins, Google DeepMind product vice president, said in a blog Tuesday. The video-audio AI tool is available Tuesday to U.S. subscribers of Google's new $249.99 per month Ultra subscription plan, which is geared toward hardcore AI enthusiasts. Veo 3 will also be available for users of Google's Vertex AI enterprise platform.

Google also announced Imagen 4, its latest image-generation tool, which the company said produces higher-quality images through user prompts. Additionally, Google unveiled Flow, a new filmmaking tool that allows users to create cinematic videos by describing locations, shots and style preferences. Users can access the tool through Gemini, Whisk, Vertex AI and Workspace.

I don't understand why anti-drone weapons haven't become more prominent. They seem like something that could be a little more expensive than an estes rocket, with an antenna that guides the rocket towards a radio source. These drones are usually sending out a live video feed over wireless, they aren't qui

Estes rockets have no ability to gimbal their thrust, nor steerable fins, and something that would actually do that would likely not be "a little more expensive".

You're basically talking about another drone with an explosive payload. The problem is that it has to be A. enough faster than the original drone to catch up, and B. able to carry a payload big enough to blow the other drone out of the sky.

Lasers are far more realistic. If you can keep it pointing at the drone, it's done for, because light trave
