Netflix dropped some useful stuff. VOID -video object and interaction deletion. - removes objects while realistically simulating physical consequences; - beats Runway/ProPainter; - CogVideoX-5B + SAM 2; looks good, no smudges/artifacts

That’s insane. For people who don’t understand: The bottom video is the “before” and the top is the “after”. Objects highlighted in the green masking/coloring is what’s being removed. The model is essentially removing the highlighted objects from existence

But why would you need that?

Black Mirror getting closer!

So people can finally void out all the DEI/antiwhite stuff from entertainment propaganda? Add a way to replace blackwashing and remove/change voice lines too then it will be a must buy

What the actual fuck

The wild part isn’t deletion anymore. It’s making reality agree with the lie.

blue brick still stumbled on air but a great start nonetheless

So netflix made AI that removes stuff off existing video? So they are probably going to censor even more existing movies and series, great

They will use it to censor films, aren’t they?

that's a lot of effort just to remove Kevin Spacey from House of Cards

This is insane!! Can we control what it affects vs not though? I mean, if someone needs a VFX shot where an invisivle force is acting on something. You want that thing removed but not the effect of it.

@grok what netflix is this?

if I’m not mistaken, this is their first open weights ship. Love to see it!

Basically, King Crimson at work

This video is confusing. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be demonstrating.

It bothers me when researchers don't talk about risks (ethical, societal, security, etc) in their paper.

Great, now they can ruin Friends and Frasier

"no smudges/artifacts" and it’s full of smudges and artifacts.

You sure this is not part of April fool's prank. Because this is mind-blowing!

VOID is impressive but what really matters here is the physical simulation part. Most inpainting tools leave ghosting when objects move — if CogVideoX-5B actually handles physics-aware fill, that's a genuine leap forward. Excited to test it on complex scenes with shadows and reflections.

It feels we are going into quantum world where each decision can change the world outcome. @elonmusk

netflix dropping parallel universes season 1

This... this isn't an April Fools joke?

"Netflix dropped" ?

Great!! With this technology we can eliminate #BlackSnape from the #HarryPotter series of @HBO / @StreamMaxLA and replace him with the white actor who does fit with Snape. 👏🏻🥳

one more step towards AI movies in theaters …

That's some alternate timeline magic

@BenAffleck this you?

damn

best performance

Someone get this working in comfy ASAP

ya what the actual fuck indeed

everything is cool but no, there are still smudges/artifacts
