Woah, this is absolutely sick! 10 years ago me would have been surprised something so small can encode all the world knowledge necessary to make this plausible. That they'd make this openly available is a dream.

Would make economic sense for a ton more of &quot;Choose your own Adventure&quot; content<p>I can imagine watching Bandersnatch and getting rid of the game developer in frame 1. The remaining 90 minutes, his dad having a quiet, stress-free Tuesday.

CogVideoX continues to be an academic powerhouse model. So many papers built on this little thing.

Really weird comments here. It&#x27;s a VFX technique for cinematography, one of many of that kind (e.g. supporting wire removal). Cinematography in general is about showing something that doesn&#x27;t exist, unless it&#x27;s a documentary. Your <i>only</i> reaction is apparently calling censorship. Says a lot about the current Overton window and I think it&#x27;s something you should reflect on.

I don&#x27;t see any demos. Did I miss something? Not interested in running a Colab.

The idea of applying this modern magic to history &amp; art is horrifying. The dream of Minitrue!<p>Presumably Netflix wants to erase smoking from its back catalog or some other bit of papier-mâché Stalinism.<p>Oh well, neat bit of auto-regressive theater.

This will save a lot of money for the prod house, considering each country may have different censorship rules.
