engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-19 01:12:09

Netflix admitted during its earnings call on Thursday that it used generative AI to create VFX in The Eternaut, a Netflix original from Argentina that was released in April 2025. The company's co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that generative AI was specifically used for a VFX shot in the post-apocalyptic drama, but the move is one of several ways Netflix is embracing AI. According to Sarandos, the creators of The Eternaut wanted to include a shot of building collapsing in Buenos Aires, and rather than

LookingGlass: Generative Anamorphoses via Laplacian Pyramid Warping

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-08 09:11:58

Anamorphosis refers to a category of images that are intentionally distorted, making them unrecognizable when viewed directly. Their true form only reveals itself when seen from a specific viewpoint, which can be through some catadioptric device like a mirror or a lens. While the construction of these mathematical devices can be traced back to as early as the 17th century, they are only interpretable when viewed from a specific vantage point and tend to lose meaning when seen normally.

I Took Photoshop's Generative AI for a Spin. These Are the Tools That Stuck Out

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-20 17:00:04

Photoshop is all in on generative AI, and it wants you to give it a whirl, too. Adobe has added a number of AI features to its premiere photo editor over the past few years; if you use Photoshop regularly, you've probably seen these pop up on your task bars. I spend a lot of time reviewing AI image generators and other AI creative software, so I had to put the original photo editor's AI to the test. AI might not be right for every project, especially for professional creators who regularly use

Hollywood’s pivot to AI video has a prompting problem

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. It has become almost impossible to browse the internet without having an AI-generated video thrust upon you. Open basically any social media platform, and it won’t be long until an uncanny-looking clip of a fake natural disaster or animals doing impossible things slides across your screen. Most of the videos look absolutely terrible.

The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger

Before Duolingo wiped its videos from TikTok and Instagram in mid-May, social media engagement was one of the language-learning app’s most recognizable qualities. Its green owl mascot had gone viral multiple times and was well known to younger users—a success story other marketers envied. But, when news got out that Duolingo was making the switch to become an “AI-first” company, planning to replace contractors who work on tasks generative AI could automate, public perception of the brand soured

What happens when you feed AI nothing

If you stumbled across Terence Broad’s AI-generated artwork (un)stable equilibrium on YouTube, you might assume he’d trained a model on the works of the painter Mark Rothko — the earlier, lighter pieces, before his vision became darker and suffused with doom. Like early-period Rothko, Broad’s AI-generated images consist of simple fields of pure color, but they’re morphing, continuously changing form and hue. But Broad didn’t train his AI on Rothko; he didn’t train it on any data at all. By hack

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy tells workers: AI will replace some of you

A hot potato: CEOs love to sing the praises of generative AI while tiptoeing around the fact it's going to cost people their jobs. But Amazon boss Andy Jassy has just said the quiet part out loud, admitting that the technology will reduce the company's corporate workforce over the next few years. In a message sent to employees this week, Jassy said generative AI was a "once-in-a-lifetime" technology that completely changes what's possible for customers and businesses.

AI copyright anxiety will hold back creativity

technologyreview.com Nitin Nohria 2025-09-09 19:00:00

During a later visit to a Picasso exhibit in Milan, I came across a famous informational diagram by the art historian Alfred Barr, mapping how modernist movements like Cubism evolved from earlier artistic traditions. Picasso is often held up as one of modern art’s most original and influential figures, but Barr’s chart made plain the many artists he drew from—Goya, El Greco, Cézanne, African sculptors. This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro

I’m Not Convinced Ethical Generative AI Currently Exists

Are there generative AI tools I can use that are perhaps slightly more ethical than others? —Better Choices No, I don't think any one generative AI tool from the major players is more ethical than any other. Here’s why. For me, the ethics of generative AI use can be broken down to issues with how the models are developed—specifically, how the data used to train them was accessed—as well as ongoing concerns about their environmental impact.
