Would make economic sense for a ton more of "Choose your own Adventure" content
I can imagine watching Bandersnatch and getting rid of the game developer in frame 1. The remaining 90 minutes, his dad having a quiet, stress-free Tuesday.

Very 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.

Woah, this is absolutely sick! 10 years ago me would have been surprised something so small can encode all the world knowledge necessary to make this plausible. That they'd make this openly available is a dream.

CogVideoX continues to be an academic powerhouse model. So many papers built on this little thing.

Really 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.

This will save a lot of money for the prod house, considering each country may have different censorship rules.

soo basically, they'll replace "coke can" with "redbull" or similar depending on who pays for ads in video? what else they gonna use it for?

The 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.
