About
Dream Machine Luma AI Extended Memes refers to Luma AI's AI-powered video generation tool that allows users to extend videos and turn images, like memes, into longer clips. The tool went viral on X / Twitter in mid-June 2024 after X user @hey_madni posted a viral thread turning popular memes into videos. Other viral extended Vines created using Luma AI included a version of the 9+10=21 meme, which shows a shadowy figure appearing behind the boy saying 21.
Origin
Luma Labs released their AI-powered video-generating software on June 12th, 2024, posting a video to their official YouTube[1] channel on the same day and gathering over 40,000 views in four days (seen below). The software can be accessed on Luma Lab's own website, however, users are limited to generating 10 videos a day.[10]
On June 15th, 2024, X[2] user @hey_madni posted a thread using Luma AI's Dream Machine software to convert popular still-image memes into videos, including Distracted Boyfriend, Disaster Girl and Captain Picard's Facepalm.
Dream Machine by Luma AI is just 3 days old.
Now memes are becoming videos.

Various internet users reacted to @hey_madni's thread on June 15th, 2024, with X[4] user @Hestmord criticizing the Distracted Boyfriend video and @diet_pepis[3] saying that Luma AI turns one of the women in the original meme into a young girl. The posts gathered over 80,000 and 100,000 likes in two days (seen below).
The video extending the Captain Picard Facepalm meme drew similar reactions, with X[5] user @tristandross writing, "burning down the amazon to harness the magic of ai in order to finally find out what captain picard from star trek looked like," and gathering over 50,000 likes in a day (seen below, left), and X[6] user @slowpuke_ writing, "You didn’t need to do this it’s from a show. You can find the scene on YouTube," gathering over 40,000 likes in the same timeframe (seen below, right).
More AI-powered meme edits made the rounds in June 2024, including a version of the 9 + 10 = 21 meme in which a shadowy figure appears behind the boy in the original video. X[7] user @TwashTheMan posted the video on June 14th, 2024, gathering over 29 million views and 100,000 likes in three days (seen below).
