> in-house stock video dataset Wonder if "iCloud backups" would be counted as "stock video" there? ;)

Turn on advanced data protection so they don't train on yours.

That has nothing to do with it, and Apple wouldn’t train on user content, they’re not Google. If they ever did there would be opt in at best. There’s a reason they’re walking and observing, not running and trying to be the forefront cloud AI leader, like some others.

My two cents, this seems like a case where it’s better to wait for the person’s response instead of guessing.

people put too much weight onto words, the first lesson I learned on the internet is that words are harmless, might be deeply painful for some, but because people as my self put no weight behind them we don't even have a concept of keeping such things mindful since it never crosses our minds and it's really difficult to see if any other way even if we try to since it just seems like a bad joke.

And when I say 'it never crosses our minds' I really mean it, there's zero thoughts between thinking about a message and having it show up in a text box.

A really great example are slurs, for a lot of people they have to double take, but there's zero extra neurons fired when I read them. I guess early internet culture is to blame since all kinds of language was completely uncensored and it was very common to run into very hostile people/content.

I really like how you framed this as the takeaway or learning that needs to happen as what should be in the alt and not a recitation of the image. Where I've often had issues is more for things like business charts and illustrations and less cute cat photos.

It might be that you’re not perfectly clear on what exactly you’re trying to convey with the image and why it’s there.

What would you put for this? "Graph of All-Transactions House Price Index for the United States 1975-2025"?

My two cents, this seems like a comment it should be up to the OP to make instead of virtue signaling.

...you know, people can have opinions about the best way to behave outside of self-aggrandizement, even if your brain can't grasp this concept.

The two cents are not literally monetary - your opinion is literally the two cents. You're contributing your understanding to the shared pot of understanding and that's represented by putting money into the pot, showing you have skin in the game. It's contributing to a larger body of knowledge by putting your small piece in - the phrases you suggest don't have that context behind them and in my opinion are worse for it. The beauty of the phrase is because the two cents are your opinion, everyone has enough, because everyone can have an opinion.

The lens through which you're analyzing the phrase is coloring how you see it negatively, and the one I'm using is doing the opposite. There is no need to change the phrase, just how it's viewed, I think.

A blind comedian / TV personality in the UK has just done a TV show on this subject - I haven't seen it, but here's a recent article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/nov/23/chris-m...

Hilariously, he beat the other teams in the “Say What You See” round (yes, really) of last year’s Big fat Quiz. No AI involved. https://youtu.be/i5NvNXz2TSE?t=4732

Haha that's great!

I'm not a fan of his (nothing against him, just not my cup of tea when it comes to comedy and mostly not been interested in other stuff he's done), but the few times I have seen him as a guest on shows it's been clear that he's a generally clever person.

The smiley at the end doesn’t hide how awful your comment is.

So serious... you should relax a bit and work up on your humor reception/understanding (smiley intentionally left out this time)

Not the gp, but currently reading a web novel with a card game where the author didn't include alt text in the card images. I contacted them about it and they started, but in the meantime ai was a big help. all kinds of other images on the internet as well when they are significant to understanding the surrounding text. better search experience when Google, DDG, and the like make finding answers difficult. I might us…

As a (web app) developer I never quite sure what to put in alt. Figured you might have some advice here?

One way to frame it is: "how would I describe this image to somebody sat next to me?"

From the paper, this is a research model aimed at dealing with the runaway error common in diffusion video models - the latent space is (proposed to be) causal and therefore it should have better coherence.

For a 7b model the results look pretty good! If Apple gets a model out here that is competitive with wan or even veo I believe in my heart it will have been trained with images of the finest taste.

+1 and I would be curious to read and learn more about it.

If you want to see more on this topic, check out (google) the podcast I co-host called Accessibility and Gen. AI.

Thanks for the recommendation, just downloaded a few episodes!;
