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.”

It’s crazy how Bruno can look world class when he’s on it, but when he’s having an off day, he’s genuinely one of the most frustrating players to watch…

Only Sepang can get Heat Hazard classification and then have a delayed start due to Tropical Rainshowers

Bring this track back permanently. Nothing flips the script like Sepang does 😂

[Fly FM 🇲🇾 @FlyFM958]

As some F1 fans faced long waits for shuttle buses at Sepang, local motorcyclists began providing transportation services to help those struggling with the queues get to their destinations. 🏍️🏎️

A simple solution that turned into a wholesome display of Malaysian teamwork. 🤝🇲🇾
