Understanding and predicting motion is a fundamental component of visual intelligence. Although modern video models exhibit strong comprehension of scene dynamics, exploring multiple possible futures through full video synthesis remains prohibitively inefficient. We model scene dynamics orders of magnitude more efficiently by directly operating on a long-term motion embedding that is learned from large-scale trajectories …

If an Ember mug is at the top of Mom’s wish list, this sale is worth checking out.
In the race to make AI models not just reason better but respond faster, latency—the delay before an answer appears—is often treated as a purely technical constraint, something to minimize and move past. But how is this relentless push for speed actually impacting the people using these systems every day?
Let’s face it, AI is forbidden to be praised or used in pretty much any online community outside of AI-focused sites without mass anger and vitriol in said communities. the same old strawman takes and insults show up pretty much every time someone posts an ai-generated image/video on other subreddits. They always say that AI …
