′I see the incredible promise′: on set of an AI film shoot as new studios embrace controversial tech (The Guardian)
|

Amid fears for jobs, some film-makers say AI could enable them bypass studio giants and take more creative risksNear the collonaded entrance to Sony Pictures' historic Culver City film studio, a tech-powered rival has sprung up this summer. The artists at Promise, a new studio feeding off the potential of AI, can glimpse the lots where Singin' in the Rain and Men in Black were shot, but no longer do they need to get beyond the studio's high walls to make their visions come true.From far more modest premises, they are making movies with rapidly accelerating AI models that create backgrounds, special effects and even “synthetic performers” – using US models but also driven by market-leading Chinese AI.

Beijing Wants Nvidia Out But China's AI Developers Aren't Ready
China has spent years pouring money and political capital into building a homegrown semiconductor industry. Yet when its AI companies need to train their most sophisticated models, many still turn to Nvidia, according to South China Morning Post.
The biggest obstacle may no longer be the chips themselves. It is everything developers have built around them.
Nvidia's CUDA software has become deeply woven into the way AI labs operate. Models, training tools and internal workflows have been designed around the platform, meaning switching to Chinese hardware can resemble rebuilding part of the factory rather than simply swapping out a machine.
SCMP writes that Huawei's Ascend processors are among the leading domestic alternatives, but moving an established operation onto them can require substantial engineering work. One researcher estimated that doing so could increase the time and expense of a project by at least 50%.

AI Perfection Fuels a Return to Looking Human (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Bloomberg Businessweek Senior Reporter Amanda Mull says consumers are showing signs of fatigue with the polished faces, homes and lifestyles popularized by influencers, filters and increasingly AI-generated imagery. Mull tells Joe Mathieu and Carol Massar on Bloomberg This Weekend that the shift doesn't necessarily spell the end of Botox or other cosmetic treatments, but it may favor a more natural aesthetic as people seek individuality, physical media and experiences that feel less optimized for social media.
