Re: VOID: Video Object and Interaction Deletion
#42Really weird comments here. It's a VFX technique for cinematography, one of many of that kind (e.g. supporting wire removal). Cinematography in general is about showing something that doesn't exist, unless it's a documentary. Your only reaction is apparently calling censorship. Says a lot about the current Overton window and I think it's something you should reflect on.
Yes but imagine how bad Stalin’s reign of terror would have been with modern cinematographic techniques.
Yes but why are we required to imagine only this? With this logic, why won't we try to imagine how bad Stalin's (or Hitler's, or anyone's) reign of terror would be with state-controlled social media? With state-censored Internet (that's about current Russia, by the way)? With modern communication technologies et al. and so on?
Hell yeah, let's go back to the caves just because science, technology and progress can actually empower everyone, including dictators, maniacs, psychopaths, predators and "bad people et al.", not just "good" (the definition of "good" varies, but let's assume we're using common principles of goodness) people.

#43The idea of applying this modern magic to history & art is horrifying. The dream of Minitrue! Presumably Netflix wants to erase smoking from its back catalog or some other bit of papier-mâché Stalinism. Oh well, neat bit of auto-regressive theater.

If it is made with AI I am not buying.

Given the current situation in the world why do you not think about technology can be misused, especially if it’s VFX. I guess I have seen more AI generated spam ads than content created for the intended purpose.

I think the point of the parent was that while you need to think about how this technology can be misused, that's not the only thing you need to and can think about.

No, I get it, and the benefits of putting what would have required a professional VFX team at (eventually) the fingertips of every amateur filmmaker are amazing. It’s also alarming what’s possible when reassembling photons en masse becomes commoditized.

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
Removed the mother. Enjoying 9 seasons of a man cornering his teenagers on a couch, describing every woman he's ever dated.
Inserted myself to Friends. Endlessly rewatching every epidode trying hard to disassociate from my real self
That’s the usual mode of watching Friends these days? :)

#47I don't see any demos. Did I miss something? Not interested in running a Colab.
You missed the embedded video near the top.
Re: VOID: Video Object and Interaction Deletion
#48Very interesting discrepancy in the attached example:
- "removing the kettlebell" led to removing the visual representation of the kettlebell as well the deformation it makes on the pillow
- "removing the hands" removed the childs hands from the tops, but did not then lead to the tops falling over!
Others like the colliding cars are in some weird gray area between the two.
One should note as these tools proliferate, there is a lot of artistic expression that we are giving up to these imprecise natural language parsing engines.

I think we'll regain the artistic expression/control in the future if the tools become popular.
We saw this with StableDiffusion. First it was just text-to-image. Now we have controlnets which can control the precise placement of objects. We've got depth maps, body positioning, all kinds of things. I can even sketch on my tablet and tunr that into an image.
I'm sure we can add options for what this physically affects or doesn't affect.

That's an absurd point. That nearly absolute cult of personality never relied on movies, printing press was more than enough to make the reality disappear. And previous ones weren't even relying on printed media at all.
