#Bangaranga, what a show. The spastic expressions in the Eurovision winner's choreography remind me of the NPC streamers. youtube.com/watch?v=msVvDetr…

Tim Hunkin makes these brilliant arcade machines that are hilarious, interactive art pieces. This video captures only the surface level of some of his work. youtube.com/watch?v=ort-VEOZ…

The good news is that this technique could also be used for citizen activism, e.g. advertise Coca Cola with a link to their website that reminds people of that time Coca Cola used paramilitaries to assassinate union leaders.

Sigma point filters have been used in sensor fusion & tracking for a long time, so it is cool to see it in gaussian splatting context. I wonder if using a cubature Kalman filter instead of the unscented one would have had additional benefits in this case. youtube.com/watch?v=hUVfAVjs…

How much of an accomplice is ChatGPT or OpenAI? If a human helped to plan the attack in such manner they would surely be prosecuted. In the US a corporation is considered as a juridical person to some extent, so how much responsibility does OpenAI have? abcnews.go.com/US/las-vegas-…

Lone wolf attackers will use AI to maximize carnage in unprecedented ways and society has to find ways to prevent this. We need to change our current trajectory and focus on increasing overall wellbeing, mental health, social connectedness, and reducing inequalities.

First time I see a deep fake video livestreamed to coincide with the legit SpaceX Starship launch livestreams. The video has a lip synced text2video&audio AI-Musk advertising a crypto scam.

Generative AI has the potential to make high culture much more appealing to a wider audience. At the very least this is the most compelling piece of "opera" that I have seen 😉 youtube.com/watch?v=0cRo9LDm…

What a missed opportunity in Paris #Olympics opening ceremony to have Zinedine Zidane headbutt the games open.

Photoshop's "Generative Fill" isn't that great with instructions or understanding image structure either. It also refused to draw "iron cross medal" due to content policy. I guess artists at History channel have to buy the Photoshop Enterprise Nazi edition or something.

Anyway, here is the final result thanks to Stability.ai and some face swapping, style transfer, as well as traditional Photoshopping:
