Whispers by @BernieSu: It is a great rethinking of how AI can be a storytelling tool for both the writer and the audience. We need more creativity support tools and more people inventing new forms of cinema and art!

I asked. Every true fan of football deserves answers and reform. My article on The World Cup, technology, and why AI cannot save us from ourselves—or corruption. wapo.st/4eVPF52
The day after Yesterday!
A principal discussion - nothing to do with England:
1. The ball hits the wire of the Spidercam
a) players and the bench react instantly
b) video-technology from different channels show it
2. FIFA say it did not hit the wire
So two simple questions that need to be answered:
Does FIFA lie?
Is the technology NOT working?

Scott’s new paper shows that the promise of synthetic training data still has not been realized for computer vision, despite all the hype.
Existing works do not report an important baseline: using the generators’ original real data. This baseline outperforms models trained with much larger amounts of generated synthetic data.
Will training on AI-generated synthetic data lead to the next frontier of vision models?🤔
Our new paper suggests NO—for now. Synthetic data doesn't magically enable generalization beyond the generator's original training set.
