The splat of the studio has the perfect amount of detail. It looks like you're streaming from the camera direct to the computer usually? How do you check the progress / quality while capturing? Seeing the (great) results makes me more curious about the process of creating now.

The main point raised in the article is that these bots may void attorney client privileges.

But the real danger with these IMO is that they're turning casual conversations into a permanent record, and one that will be completely discoverable in court, should the company get into trouble later.

Ran this through Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, and the difference between 4 characters and 5 is wild to see:

    Opening parentheses (: 3
    Closing parentheses ): 4
... following up with:

     Opening parentheses (: 5
     Closing parentheses ): 5
... and uses ~5,000 tokens to get the wrong answer.

Thank you for posting this!

I suspected my work was in the dataset and it looks like it is! I reached out via the form.

lol alright, appreciate the skepticism.

What if instead of an algorithm designed to hold your attention captive to sell you shit, a feed of videos created to help you focus on what you aspire to learn / be / do?

idk probably bullshit too, but why not?

Author here.

This is a genuine concern of mine! I don't want to build something that generates slop.

Rather, I think whenever we change the costs / process of things, new possibilities open up.

As an example, last night I re-watched Starship Troopers for the six-hundredth time. I'm a huge fan of Paul Verhoeven.

What if I could watch a custom edit of Starship Troopers on demand, and this edit surprised me with something new? I don't know exactly how this would look, but maybe it's interesting?

It's tough to predict the future and how things will change.

But I'd rather be participating in its creation, trying to make it better.

Yes, agreed.

I film a bunch of skateboarding, and it can take tens of tries to land a trick. Similarly, there's usually an unique sound that signals a trick was finally landed.

Good multi-modal search and discovery is a huge part of cracking the editing problem.

Yes, this is a big feature I've been working on, should be ready for a beta by the end of the month.

I allude to it in the post, but good search (for editing) is a challenge, and necessitates a mix of embeddings/vector search and text models.

Author here. I imagine that being one of the components you can "plug in" to what I'm building.

Imagine taking in a prompt, which describes the video you'd like generated. At render time you pass along variables which get injected to describe the specifics for your audience.

We can then adjust the video edit according to that audience, including mixing generated and non-generated content.
