I've always wondered where Consumer CoPilot's design language was from.
If you watch the Build keynote with Satya, you'll notice that the design of the slides changed to Serif typography and warmer colors when Mustafa/Microsoft AI segment came on which was completely different from the rest of the keynote. Now it makes sense!
GPT Image 1.5 is the first model that gets close to replicating the intricate detail mosaic of bullets in the "Lord of War" movie poster for me. Following the prompt instructions more closely also seems better compared to Nano Banana Pro.
I edited the original "Lord of War" poster with a reference image of Jensen and replaced bullets with GPU dies, silicon wafers and electronic components.
For mobile, I don't know who outside of Netflix is delivering AV1. If they are, I expect them to be leveraging the hardware AV1 decoders for battery life instead of employing a software only solution like dav1d. Saying that, I think Netflix was using dav1d solution where it had a benefit (e.g. low quality cellular networks)
>Those bit rate numbers are appalling! 2-4Mbps average bitrate?
While those may sound low, what I'm thinking is Netflix didn't see any benefit in perceptual quality (or VMAF scores) but sending more bits down the pipe and increasing their bandwidth bill.
It's what the above comments said. I tried taking screenshot comparison but due to the DRM (I think it's called HDCP?), the netflix content ends up as black screen.
Wow, this entire thread is some direct and very valuable feedback. Thank you to everyone who weighed in. I hear you all loud and clear!
To be transparent, I was experimenting with a more "punchy," narrative style to weave in some wit and humor. I didn't want the writing to feel dry and was aiming for a flow that was more entertaining. In retrospect, I clearly overshot the mark and ended up with something that feels inauthentic and distracts from the main point.
The experiment and the data are what I was most excited to share, and the writing shouldn't obscure that. Based on this feedback, I'll revise the article to be more direct, cut the fluff, and let the numbers do the talking.
Seriously, I appreciate the reality check! This is a great lesson in "know your audience." :)
One of the problems I've found with native context/drop down menus is that when you're sharing a specific window on Zoom, the context menus don't show up on the video.
You have to share your entire screen to show someone all the available options in the context/drop-down menu.
