OpenAI is playing both sides of the regulation game and people are beginning to notice. Handing over advanced model checkpoints to Microsoft so they can be rushed into production while telling journalists we need regulation to pull the ladder up on competition.

WAVES have been part of my work for many yrs, & this incarnation is abt the slowmotion waves in the crust of the Earth. Mountains.

Yup realtime on mobile, with no (noticable) latency. Very impressive. It even works remarkably well around hair. It reminds me of Giger/Ridley Scott/James Cameron's Alien. Evil, perfected.

It's worth mentioning, computational models of facial beauty seems to be quite a thing in Hong Kong, China, and Korea (though that might just be the rabbit holes that I got lost in a few years ago). It's pretty wild.

I've been collecting research on computational models of facial beauty. It seems quite big China. Some of it seems quite shockingly 'wrong' or unethical (to us in west?), but I wonder if our culture is any less obsessed w beauty, we just don't like to openly admit or talk abt it.

The effect seems to do different things to different ppl. On men in general it's very subtle (not so subtle on women, much harsher & unrealistic expectations). But even on men it's not just "makeup", it makes structural changes (which is trivial once it builds the face 3d mesh).

I don't wanna be known as the tiktok filter guy, but ICYMI after attacking GenX w teenage filter, tiktok just dropped a new filter to take out Millennials & GenZ. "Beauty filters" are not new, but the precision on this is beyond uncanny. This is psychological warfare & pure evil.
