'Whispers,' the latest tech-fueled creation from Emmy winner Bernie Su, synthesizes AI prompts from its audience to generate a unique experience. https://t.co/YFAPbIdwO7
Humans and AI collaborating at work is cool but you know what's really cool? Humans and AI collaborating for entertainment - @thegp portfolio company Pickford showed Hollywood what it looks like last night and @Forbes wrote about "AI informed Cinema": https://t.co/n0PHFifOLv

Major League Baseball will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) during the entire 2026 season
ABS CHALLENGE RULES:
- Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if theyโre successful
- Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch
- To signal a challenge, the pitcher, catcher, or batter will tap his hat or helmet to let the umpire know
- No help from the dugout or other players on the field is allowed
- In each extra inning, a team will be awarded a challenge if it has none remaining entering the inning
The ABS Challenge System powered by T-Mobile 5G network uses cameras set up around the perimeter of the field to track the location of each pitch and a graphic on the scoreboard shows the result of the challenge

@molochofficial One thing Iโve seen that really stuck with me is pointing out an LLM cannot comprehend context or subtext, and therefore writes EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE as if it HAS to make an impact. It cannot โbuildโ because it doesnโt actually understand what itโs spitting out
On the set of Web of Spies, Christopher Lloyd called me a handsome man, and he was not wrong, but it was mostly the hat. Thatโs me behind Jennifer Field. I should watch it someday.

Another round of applause for our Sundance Institute Labs alumni on winning their first #Oscars tonight. Huge congratulations to Ryan Coogler and Paul Thomas Anderson.
Sundance 2026 had a panel about AI in filmmaking that actually showed working systems instead of just talking theory.
Bernie Su from https://t.co/0cvl46oofV demonstrated "Whispers," an interactive murder mystery where AI adapts the story based on how viewers engage. You ask questions, the AI responds in character while maintaining narrative coherence. Each viewing creates a unique story path.
Alexandra Hooven from Othelia Technologies discussed how studios like Disney are building IP protection frameworks for AI generated content. Jess Engel from Primordial Soup covered practical workflow integration.
The panel was moderated by Chris O'Falt from IndieWire, sponsored by Dropbox, and held January 23 at the festival.
What stands out is that these aren't concept demos. They're deployed applications solving specific production challenges.
Full breakdown.

for all my LA friends - What happens when you let a theater full of strangers control a first date? Absolute chaos. Beautiful chaos.
First Date is a live, interactive AI experience from Pickford AI. The audience whispers in the ears of two animated characters on a date โ guiding them toward love, heartbreak, or total disaster. No two shows are ever the same.
We've screened at Cannes, Busan, Sundance, and BAFTA. Now we're partnering with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema for three public screenings in Downtown LA:

The fact that both the Finger Bangerz crew and Stones Throw came from 1990s East Side San Jose goes to show our turf was a straight hotbed of culture. I said it! #micdrop
