📌Our work on controllable video generation is being presented at the @CVPR 2026 AI for Creative Visual Content Workshop!

💡TLDR: ironically, minor deviations from control signals allow for better control adherence.

I was on CBC's Quirks and Quarks this weekend discussing "AI 'scientists': the promise, the peril and the future of science with superintelligence". ~20 minute interview allowed us to cover a lot of ground.

PS. Love the name of this show!
