Seems like local video generation got a bump.

I see people buzzing about LTX-2 and Wan 2.2 both seem to be doing audio + video.

Not really hyped for anything. I'll probably be hyped for Intergalactic. But that sounds like 2027.  

I think the last game I was really hyped for was Astro Bot.  


A few 2026 games I am interested in.

I'm very interested in Blow's new game, but wouldn't say I'm hyped.

New Atlas from Boston Dynamics.




Looks really bad, and I'm only half joking. This is a design that looks like a blast from the past. It's cool but these robots better have some killer feature because why buy them vs more advanced humanoids that will be cheaper due to volume?

This reminds me of the digit robot.

It's really rough when you're not improving. 

But it's really awesome when you make noticeable improvement without a crazy amount of effort. 

My left thumb was very weak with the grip strength trainer. Like wasn't really able to close it on the lowest setting.  Today I was able to close it, even after turning it up a bit.

Why do I find this so hilariously cringeworthy?

These AIs are so cringe.

Gemini has a new prompt I think so now almost always it basically decides things for me and finishes "now that you understand you were mistaken, how does it feel to accept what I have said?"

Meanwhile chatgpt is always "I'm going to ignore your insults" when I tell it it's screwing up.

I've been trying Hybrid. For some reason it keeps crashing.

Or it runs really slow. Like it was going to take like 8 days to deinterlace a single 20 minute video.
How do you feel about how this looks?

To me, everything looks out of focus. 

I don't see any interlacing aliasing, so you got that good.  I don't think it's blurry, but I do notice most deinterlacers blur out grain.  It also looks like you set the bitrate too low.  Most 90s cartoons were stored on tapes and I've noticed the grain on them look like vertical lines, it's like that for all 90's Disney cartoons I've seen.  It looks like the biterate is too low scrubbing the grain.  I've started de-telecining because it doesn't have aliasing or blur that deinterlacing does.  I've also been compressing less and less.
