(🧵NO ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS): To answer the question "What does the future hold for 𝑆𝐀𝑅𝑆-𝐂𝑂𝑉-𝟐?" it's worth examining how predictable its evolutionary trajectory has been so far. Evolution is stochastic, but stochastic processes can still yield predictions. (1/)
Introducing, the Paul Debevec long read, at @beforesmag I'm sure many people know @debfx's incredible influence on VFX. At @SIGGRAPHAsia I got the chance to sit down with him to discuss a discreet portion of his work at Google & at Netflix. beforesandafters.com/2024/04/04/the…
A series of scary graphs about how temperature anomalies for 2023 compare to other years. Yikes. 📈
Its hard to overstate just how exceptionally high global temperatures are at the moment. They have blown past anything we've previously experienced by a huge margin. Over at The Climate Brink, we try and visualize this summer of extremes in seven charts. theclimatebrink.com/p/visualizing-…
At DigiPro 2023, we’ll present Magenta Green Screen, a new compositing technique designed to record accurate alpha channels in an LED volume and to collect ground truth training data for natural image matting algorithms. See you there and @SIGGRAPH! dmsm.github.io/magenta-green-…
I hit a bug in the Attention formula that’s been overlooked for 8+ years. All Transformer models (GPT, LLaMA, etc) are affected. Researchers isolated the bug last month – but they missed a simple solution… Why LLM designers should stop using Softmax 👇 evanmiller.org/attention-is-o…

Love that Donald Knuth saw some ChatGPT responses, played with their implications for a bit, and then went "Ok, that's enough AI stuff, back to binomial coefficients!" That's focus. (via: cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/chatGPT…)
What a simple toy could tell the past about their future:
In Paris, a new “Everything Is Fine” gif is born
Someday an animated movie has to be nominated for best production design. What we do is NO different than what is done in live action. (Climbs down off soapbox) #productiondesign #animationiscinema
#BrendanFraser is a righteous dude. In November 2007 our paychecks stopped. I was the FX lead on #JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth for Meteor Studios in Montreal and was asked to convince my crew to stay and finish the picture with a guarantee we'd all get paid with overtime. We had…
👀Two early papers find the effects of generative AI on knowledge work are completely unprecedented in modern history Separate studies of both writers and programmers find 50% increases in productivity with AI, and higher performance and satisfaction. And this is just the start.
After 12+ yrs of work (with longtime help from Dave Gouge), I presented with my friend @StephenFMay (who did a lot of work to make it happen) the very first VES Emerging Technology Award this week! Finally VFX technologists get recognized with and by their peers! @VFXSociety
Watched #GlassOnion? Check this neat interactive @Sketchfab experience our teams put together to celebrate the work behind the scenes 🏝️
This is pretty cool - and brings the beautiful work of our production designer Rick Heinrichs to life. Also makes me want a Myst style game set on the island.
