RunwayML Shares AI Skateboarding Bear Video

RunwayML posted an AI-generated video of a bear-costumed skateboarder performing tricks at a coastal skate park. Co-founder and CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela replied to a comment on the clip by noting that current results look strong next to the company's 2019 output, which included an early AI video of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Investor Michael Dempsey described the new video as amazing. The posts treat the skateboarding clip as an illustration of progress in generative video models.
