🚨 Breaking news: Google just launched LUMIERE, the latest AI model for video generation. Lumiere is expected to transform the future of VIDEO forever
Lumiere can generate video from different inputs, including text-to-video, which works like a regular image generator and generates a video from a text prompt, and image-to-video, which takes an image and uses its accompanying prompt to bring the photo to life in a video. The model can also put a fun spin on video generation through stylized generation, which uses a single reference image to generate video in the target style using a user prompt. In addition to generating video, the model can be used to edit existing video through various visual stylizations that modify a video to reflect a specific prompt, cinemagraphs that animate a specific area of a photo, and inpainting, which fills in missing or damaged areas in the video.

BREAKING: 14% of all commercial real estate (CRE) loans and 44% of office building loans are now in "negative equity."
In other words, the debt is now greater than the property value on all of these properties. Currently, US banks hold over $2.9 trillion of CRE debt, the majority of which is held by regional banks. Office building prices are down 40% from their highs and CRE as a whole is down over 20%. All as rates rise and many of these loans are due CRE is beyond bear market territory.

Intel $INTC, is down 10% after-hours after providing weaker than expected guidance in their earnings release
The move lower has erased $20 billion in market cap in just two hours. Intel provided Q1 2024 EPS guidance of $0.13, which is well below expectations of $0.34. They are also guiding Q1 2024 revenue of $12.2B-$13.2B, below expectations of $14.2B. The question becomes if this weakness is an Intel issue or an industry-wide issue. Source: The Kobeissi Letter
