Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

🚨 The @a16z Consumer AI Top 100 is back - but this time, it's 150! We added revenue data from @yipitdata to track how consumers are spending not just time, but money, on AI. The result? A story of heavy concentration among AI's power users. Our takeaways 👇

"Most people aren't looking to save time, they're looking for ways to spend their time." 9 of 15 consumer internet categories have zero AI products in the Top 100. These built some of the biggest companies of the last two eras: - Streaming - Social - Dating - Gaming - Travel - Retail - Finance - Real estate - Jobs More charts in our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps breakdown: a16z.news/p/top-100-consumer…

THE GAME RIGGED IM NOT LOSING 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

Some of the most powerful men in the country conspired to silence Macklemore because he said "Free Palestine" at a concert. Then Macklemore puts together a Free Palestine tour and it sells out in a day. And while Ed Sheeran becomes a cringe shell of his former self, country star Zach Bryan wears a Free Palestine shirt at his concert at Gilette Stadium and sets a record for ticket sales for the 2nd night. The writing is on the wall: no matter what the Epstein Class does to silence this movement, it backfires. So many people have come to the conclusion that Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, West Bank and Southern Lebanon - that no matter what the pro-apartheid/pro-genocide power block does, they lose. A sold-out concert tour and a tee shirt don't change the devastation on the ground in Palestine, but they are evidence that the power elite's grip on the narrative is gone and it's not coming back.

Menlo Ventures is on a tear They led an investment in Anthropic at an ~$4B valuation At the time, most thought OpenAI would be the singular AI winner Maybe we’ll see something similar with @FactoryAI? 👀 Welcome to the Factory team @mmurph!

ICYMI: Across 42 interviews we observed a difference in language & questions if the guest was from an allied country, as well as a deference reserved for officials of Ukraine & Israel - even if interviewee answers clearly contradicted credible evidence ettemedia.com/war-of-words-h…

NOAH fr is crazy @Teller_Banks357 assembled a wrecking crew of the underground to make the most dense and interesting record of the year. the ark as framing device and narrative language pulling the absolutely rip roaring verses and batshit production to make a masterpiece.

FOX: I understand thinking that some people have too much money. We are engine of the world for these things and people end up being billionaires as a result. El-Sayed: The issue is not that some people have too much money. It’s that the engine that created their opportunity to make money is being underfunded… FOX: You said you wanted to choke them out. El-Sayed: I don't want to choke anyone out. I want to make sure everyone can breathe. Right now, you have an economy where people are getting choked out because they don’t have the basic means for a dignified life because we are more focused on allowing a billionaire to make another billion…

David Shoebridge has called out Richard Marles & Jillian Segal, etc for attending this wkend’s Gold Coast Antisemitism conf. saying it’s sponsored by firm directly exporting arms to Israel & will have a “Former Head of the US Neo Nazi movement” as a Speaker at the event😳#Senate

🚨BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani says NYC will move more than 10,000 low-income children off the child care voucher waitlist, providing free care for kids from 6 weeks to 13 years old, and through 19 for children with special needs. The expansion is backed by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s $1.2 billion child care investment and comes after the city eliminated out-of-pocket voucher fees and launched universal 2-K. It’s another concrete step toward Mamdani’s broader promise of universal child care, while giving thousands of parents immediate relief now.

The fact connections of Jimmysstar are considering running in the G2 Sydney Stakes rather than The Everest tells you that the prize money must be chopped. It’s a $2M race (same as 3rd Everest) with $1.1M to the winner and they’re not sure they can beat KYR or Tempted. Alarming🚨

Hate Island, Mathematics & NOAH all came out this year . 🥹

Chuck D: “This concert is not by Ed Sheeran’s promoters. Free Palestine, free Haiti, and please free a closed mind” Flavor Flav: “And fuck Donald Trump!”

Guillermo del Toro: “Be very angry about how the world is being fucked, how your craft is being pulled away from you, how people are trying to move you away from the arts and tell you they’re not important. Be angry that things are being controlled by socially barely functional people that have a lot of money. Be angry about something. Be enraged about something” (Video: anakinspadawan / TikTok)
