#32As others on Telegram have said: automated search for visual superstimuli likely leads to bad outcomes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernormal_stimulus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story) Also: one of the V3A animations reminds me loosely of things I saw when I was a kid, at night, shortly before I slept (though my experience then was more circular).
Others on Telegram? Some sort of a HN channel?

#33We are really getting to the point where the tech industry must be stopped if humanity is to continue at all, let alone thrive.
This does indeed seem comically evil. While surely this may provide somewhat interesting insights in how our brain processes things, this seems squarely past the "should" part of "you scientists were so obsessed with whether you could you failed to consider whether you should"
> This does indeed seem comically evil.
And I have yet to see a single paper like this where a researcher bails out and publicly says they refuse to work on such projects. Not one.
The most benign interpretation of this observation is that science is filled with spineless opportunists who don’t care who they hurt with what they create. A slightly less benign interpretation might be that many of these people are doing this deliberately, and getting off on the sense of power it gives them.

#34How can one work on that and not consider that they're pure evil?
Think of the shareholders (it's time to start using physical force to stop people)

#35Apart from ethically bad and evil use cases of this application, can we use it to massage the parts of brain like we do it to our bones and muscles with the help of physiotherapists?
reason I am asking it could be some relief to our brains after tedious working day, especially after heavy AI usage

#37This is already happening at scale by the social media feed algorithms. We don't need generated content to accomplish this. In a sea of user created content, plenty of it is already at peak activation.
The plan is to get content producers out of the loop to reduce revenue share and boost profits.

#38My brain never liked vertical video, shortform content and AI slop. Is my brain different or am I just a grumpy millenial hipster?
You're not alone!

Its also an interesting way to discover what that part of the brain is for, right.

#40these videos were disappointing and underwhelming
If you read the techbique it reads like something far less remarkable being PR’d to sound like a big deal.
The fact it’s bucketing by making images of lighting and facial expressions, the fact it doesn’t natively do the video it does an image then video generates from it.
The results look really bad and samey. Doubt this would work for the actual thing they’re pitching it for.
