Google Did Something (Again) – Veo 3.1 is Here, Apparently

Oh joy. Google’s released Veo 3.1, their text-to-video generator. Because the world *clearly* needed more AI-generated slop. They’re bragging about “improved realism” and better handling of complex prompts – surprise, surprise. It can now do 1080p videos at 60fps, which is…fine, I guess if you’re into that sort of thing.

The real kicker? They shoved it into Flow, their video editor. So now even *more* people can make terrible content with minimal effort. Fantastic. They’ve also added a “style tuning” feature so you can try and make the AI output look less like something a toddler vomited onto a screen. Good luck with that.

And, naturally, it’s still cloud-based. Because who needs local processing power when you can just rely on Google’s servers? They are also trying to get people to use Gemini 1.5 Pro for even *more* control over the prompts. Honestly, it’s a whole ecosystem of needing more Google products to do anything useful.

Basically, it’s another incremental update in the endless race to automate creativity into oblivion. Don’t get your hopes up; it’s still AI video. It will *still* look uncanny valley-ish most of the time.

    Look, I once had to debug a video encoding pipeline that was failing because someone decided to use a codec that hadn’t been properly implemented in the hardware. Three days. *Three fucking days* of staring at hex dumps and kernel logs. And now Google wants me to believe this cloud-based bullshit is better? Get off my lawn.
