@ABAOProductions @Variety Yes, definitely. But nevertheless, they will have to sell his appearance and emotions consistently throughout the movie. It's a challenge.

@SimovicVlada @Variety I’m assuming a lot of it will be motion control - and not like just directed through prompts.

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.” “He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI

@nimlot26 Tbh, I see where they want it to head. But it will take time. Without significant scene info, AI will hallucinate heavily. So, it is extra layer of detail, but far from full render. They can train it to enhance, but hardly to recognize and shade/light scenes with consistency.

As an artist that worked his whole life towards realism in games I salute the DLSS 5. It really improves shading and lighting...the two things that we faked forever in games and that were probably the biggest limitation in terms of what can be achieved in real time. As an artist that sees where this is going...well....buckle up guys. I was talking about this stuff not long ago on a stream. It's more likely AI in games will not be about generating models and textures for you but a process at the end of frame creation that will generate details, shaders and lighting. I will venture to say that the next DLSS or the next major update in DLSS will include added details over a simplified render. I guess games will be all about creating the mechanics and blocking out stuff and at render time you will get a fully detailed and believable result. What that means tho is that all those skills that we've developed over long years to be able to create high quality characters and props will become obsolete. Even now, with DLSS 5, you can beautify something like that lazy ass slop of Starfield into something digestible which is mind blowing. Bad art suddenly is not that bad at render time so working out with low skilled, poorly paid artists is even less of a problem. I can just imagine how the suits in top studios are celebrating that the future will require less investment in art departments. I just hope they don't forget that they still need good game mechanics and stories tho.

So he's f-ing nuts.

@fortelabs AI is still an inefficient tech that requires vast amount of resources. So I agree, we just scratched the surface of next big transformation of humanity. Advancing will require many breakthroughs in energy, memory storage, computing. It will take decades.

My most contrarian AI take: AI's rise will take decades to play out It won't be finished in our lifetimes Nor probably in our children's lifetimes We are living through the first few years of the next Industrial Revolution, which was a 200 year arc

👍👌 Just wow

@aldricgraphics @Behance Amazing work

Proud to share my project has been featured on @Behance in the 3D Motion category. #b3d Full project - behance.net/gallery/239128…

@DiscussingFilm Brainwashing industry. I love movies and everything about them. But the level of ppl admiration for fame is just sad. Oscar is a political and business award. Jordan went out to enjoy his popularity among plebus, pretending to be just a common man looking for a burger lol

Michael B. Jordan went to In-N-Out after winning his Oscar. See the full winners list: bit.ly/OscarWins26

I tried video gen AI again. Kling, Sora, Runway, Veo, Seedance 1.5. For motion graphics and precise product animation - they are BAD and time/token consuming. For other uses, I cannot tell because I haven't tried it. I still stand with my claim that AI is just an assistance tool.

Jonah Hill was raised by Hollywood, and it shows. Not many ppl could pull off making a movie with unoriginal story and attract so many celebrities. Nice colors and good music will mask a probably boring, chewed up script. I'll give it a chance though.

@AppleTV Old story, cheesy lines, nice visuals and insane amount of celebrities. Jonah Hill is a well connected businessman.

Keanu Reeves is Hollywood’s biggest star, Reef Hawk. #Outcome — A new film by Jonah Hill, starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer and Hill. Coming April 10 to Apple TV.

@Adobe @nvidia Can you add more features to apps that are useful for creators? Gen AI should really not be your focus.

Today, Adobe and @nvidia announced a strategic partnership to reinvent creative and marketing workflows with the power of AI. Adobe’s creative and marketing technology, combined with NVIDIA’s research and accelerated computing, will come together to develop next-generation Firefly models and creative, marketing, and agentic workflows to deliver best-in-class creative precision and control. Check out the full announcement from #NVIDIAGTC to see what’s ahead: adobe.ly/3NszP6W

@RohanCreates I think gen AI is not even close to profitability. Furthermore, I do think it will plateau, due to several reasons. But, I also think 3D workflows will be very much changed. So, redundant not so much. But we'll see many features become redundant.

Question : How many of you think that most 3d sofwares or even graphic design softwares will become redundant within the next 5-6 years because of generative AI?

F off

@spikednn @kiaran_ritchie Dyson sphere? 🙂 Maybe in few hundred years, and not with this "AI".

@kiaran_ritchie making a Dyson sphere is going to take a little more intelligence that doing your taxes and might also be more valuable.

I don't see how Anthropic, OpenAI or any of the model providers have any hope of defending their moats. And consequently, I think they're going to get wiped out. Right now, in early 2026 they have a meaningful advantage in terms of model capability. But far cheaper and open source models are not far behind. How long can they maintain a meaningful advantage? For the vast majority of use cases, we don't actually need much higher intelligence. It doesn't take 140 IQ to automate Turbotax or powerpoint. Eventually we will be saturated in cheap, local models that are "good enough". Of course some scientific labs and frontier research will always want the latest and greatest. But that market is orders of magnitude smaller than these company valuations can justify. What am I missing?

Watched this cringey military advertisement with lazy screenplay and lame dialogs. Nice VFX though. I bet it's propaganda or something. Bcz I cannot understand why would this be popular with any audience.

Pushing boundaries...

@Jabz_CFC Why?

Congratulations Sir Idris Elba.

@forallcurious Hahahaha

JUST IN🚨: Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael believes Claude “has a soul” and may be sentient

@GregoryEck This actor is so lame...

It turns out—and I know this is a mind-blowing concept for the geniuses out in the writers' room—but when you make an action movie and actually just focus on the action, instead of turning it into a two-hour, preachy TED Talk... people will actually be watch it! I know, crazy, right? Shocker of the century! It’s almost like Americans just want to watch shit blow up without getting a side order of guilt.
