@akachi_is What the hell

[Fireside Alpha @firesidealpha]

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.”

@PRlNCEOFLOTHRIC Lmaoo it was fun asf even if his feet don’t hit the ceiling

[discussingfish eulogist @6SZNS_]

Well yeah that’s the magic of filmmaking

[john-john 🐈‍⬛ @PRlNCEOFLOTHRIC]

Camera doing all the aura lifting here 🤔 he doesn’t touch the ceiling once

[discussingfish eulogist @6SZNS_]

@thee_jjk_dckrdr Okay yeah that’s definitely a lot weirder from the male consuming lesbian porn kind of way

[discussingfish eulogist @6SZNS_]

@PRlNCEOFLOTHRIC I feel like bouncing around a hallway throwing web lines to slow down a giant monster chasing you is inherently auraful, the rotation of the viewer to add the illusion of him going like a full 360 is a fun filmmaker thing

[discussingfish eulogist @6SZNS_]

Camera-work is supposed to aura lift it’s a cool ass action shot

[Criterion Collection @Criterion]

Ngozi Onwurah’s radically ahead-of-its-time dystopian sci-fi film WELCOME II THE TERRORDOME (1995) has entered the collection! https://t.co/erDMSr7Lny

The first theatrically distributed British feature by a Black woman, Onwurah’s film furiously evokes a near future in which Black people are segregated within a slum called the Terrordome, where simmering violence and anger threaten to boil over in the wake of a young boy’s murder.

It should be illegal to portray NYC as having alleys or the NYPD as underpaid
