Ok, so Adobe’s announcement isn’t too shabby with new features to transform video production. Extend video clips, remove objects, and generate B-roll footage. Wild.
A cute story on how someone built a propaganda machine for a hundred bucks. It’s not hard, just requires more time than I have and most of us aren’t incentivized to do this type of thing, right?
3D, 360 degrees from one prompt? This stuff is getting out of hand. What we thought was impossible is now possible.
Nothing but research sharing how to manipulate consumers around products they see. It’s already happening but now it’ll be automated and even more custom.
A job tool using AI to help you create interview prep for yourself as well as practice with an AI interviewer if you want to go that far.
And on the other side of things, what about an AI tool to help you review more job applicants for your work? They’ve got that too.
Instagram is getting an AI search tool built right in. It looks like Perplexity but who cares at this point. Every interface eventually caves to norms, especially the ones that become very popular.
MKHB reviews the Humane Pin. And, it’s just great. I mean, his review. Not the product. I had a few good laughs.
Grok is capable of understanding images now and people are worried? I think they are just trying to catch up and be competitive.
Interracial couples is hard I suppose. I did lose it when the author said “race is a social construct” and so they lost me there.
A software engineer who’s been working for 35+ years debunks Devin. He’s not anti-AI, he’s just anti-hype. An honest review.
Akuma creates anime art with a real-time canvas. I gave it a try with a real photo and it wasn’t terrible:
These are pretty neat:
Not terrible! Could be fun.
Landing pages from just your mobile device? Was worth a shot.
A recent survey from Autodesk says that “ability to work with AI” as one of the most important skills of the year. I’d say this is now tablestakes.
Enhanced coverage of The Masters uses several AI features for the famed golf tournament including course insights, narration, 3D course renderings, and personalized highlight reels if you’re into that sort of thing. Customers are demanding these things so AI tech is to follow.
What is a GPT? A quick look into transformers. Learn a thing or two!
Finally, private Beta has been opened for Cohere’s Compass tech, a new multi-aspect embedding model:
Multi-aspect data can best be explained as data containing multiple concepts and relationships. This is common within enterprise data — emails, invoices, CVs, support tickets, log messages, and tabular data all contain substantial content with contextual relationships. Retrieval of this data is an ongoing challenge because 1) enterprise data can contain many concepts, and 2) the relationship between concepts needs to be understood.
That’s it folks! Have a great Tuesday!
