Instagram head Adam Mosseri on Thursday teased new genAI video features. Could it represent the beginning of more advanced platform-integrated AI capabilities for creators and brands? Instagram is rolling out AI-generated video features enabling creators to change their appearance or background / Adobe Stock Instagram is preparing to roll out generative AI editing tools in the new year, offering creators the ability to transform the appearance of their videos using simple text prompts. Powered by Meta’s generative AI model Movie Gen, and unveiled in October, the new features are designed to simplify video editing by allowing users to seamlessly alter nearly any aspect of a clip – swapping out backgrounds, adding realistic-looking accessories and objects into the video or even animating a creator’s face. In a video shared Thursday, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri previewed the tools, demonstrating a smattering of backdrops and appearances generated on the fly. In one clip, Mosseri morphs into a puppet, while in another, he dons a sleek leather jacket. A post shared by Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) “A lot of you make amazing content that makes Instagram what it is, and we want to give you more tools to help realize your ideas,” Mosseri says in the clip. “And you should be able to do anything you want with your videos. You should be able to change your outfit, or change the context in which you’re sitting, or add a chain – whatever you can think of.” Responses from users have been mixed, evidenced by comments on Mosseri’s post. “With great power comes great responsibility. I will say though this does look like a lot of fun,” wrote an animator with over 225,000 followers who goes by the Instagram handle @jtmadness. Other users expressed outright disapproval. @secondnaturedesignsmv, a landscape design creator with nearly 77,000 followers, said: “So let me get this straight. You’re enabling us to be less authentic and use illusions to create a fake reality? This is wrong on so many levels.” The Movie Gen model was announced this fall, with Meta touting the tech’s ability to depict realistic human motion in AI-generated content. Today’s announcement comes just over a week after OpenAI announced the public debut of its highly anticipated video generation platform Sora . The launch came with much fanfare, and OpenAI was forced to restrict signups amid surging demand. But unlike OpenAI’s Sora and other rivals like Adobe’s Firefly, Meta’s approach appears focused on integrating AI directly into its social platforms, where the technology could easily reach millions of creators. It’s a potentially powerful differentiator. Advertisement Of course, questions remain about how well tools like Movie Gen and Sora perform once they’re widely available. Mosseri’s teaser clips look polished, but early previews of rival models have occasionally fallen short of expectations in real-world use. A common hiccup has been the accurate portrayal of human limbs and fingers. For Instagram’s vast user base of 2bn monthly active users, the arrival of AI-powered video editing could mark a significant leap in creative possibilities – and perhaps, a new frontier in content creation. Brands, too, may be eying the forthcoming features with eagerness. “We’ll definitely see creators using this to produce more cinematic and personalized content – and, if brands gain access, it will be an exciting opportunity to reintroduce how we consume user-generated content,” says Hillary Applegate, founder and CEO of Digital HQ, a digital marketing agency. Advertisement For brands, Movie Gen could enable “more interactive campaigns and contests that could allow brands to involve customers in the creative process,” she predicts. Furthermore, she highlights opportunities for more immersive product visualization and virtual try-ons,” establishing new ways for brands to showcase products and improve the customer experience. Lance Wolder, the head of strategy at digital advertising firm PadSquad, says that Movie Gen is “undeniably intriguing,” and says he’s excited by the possibility of “[enhancing] brand assets beyond just talking-head content. Can it make visuals more dynamic or intelligently replace unwanted backgrounds in a way that elevates production value?” Nonetheless, Wolder wonders how truly innovative the features will prove to be. At this stage, he says, “It feels like the next evolution of a filter – exciting but perhaps not groundbreaking.” To win with creators and brands, he suggests, Instagram would do well to go further and develop AI that can “address other pain points in content production, [as] many creators still rely on third-party apps like CapCut for editing features that should be native to the platform.” Catch up on the most important stories of the day, curated by our editorial team.

But perhaps Meta’s objective isn’t to get creators and brands attached to these Movie Gen Instagram features, but rather to use these foundational tools as a springboard for developing more advanced capabilities. At least, that’s Yashin Manraj’s perspective. Manraj is the CEO of tech automation company Pvotal Technologies. “The end goal is not to make this a useful tool, but rather to limit the time users are spending on other AI enhancement tools and to collect data on what users are doing with so [Meta] can improve [its own offerings],” he says. Another goal in launching Movie Gen, Manraj suspects, is more blatantly commercial: to develop generative AI product placements or more organic branded messaging that will appeal to consumers who are turned off by explicit advertisements. Meta has yet to confirm an exact launch date for the new AI features.Ministers said an extra £15 million will be made available for supply chain businesses and workers affected by changes at Tata’s Port Talbot site in south Wales. Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens said the move means a fund to support businesses across Wales heavily reliant on Tata steel will be increased to £30 million. She also announced that more businesses will be able to apply for the funds, and the value of individual grants is increasing to up to £250,000 for businesses to invest in equipment, property, technology. The Government said there has been “significant demand” on the existing funding, with almost 40 businesses employing 2,000 people having begun the application process. Grants worth millions of pounds are expected to be released in the new year. The increase in funding is in anticipation of more people leaving Tata in early 2025 through the company’s voluntary redundancy scheme. Ms Stevens said: “This Government is acting decisively to support workers and businesses in Port Talbot. “We are doubling the funding available to businesses and workers and widening access to grants to ensure we support as many people as possible. “In just four months we have announced more than £40 million in investment. We said we would back workers and businesses affected by the transition at Port Talbot and we are doing exactly that. “While this remains a very difficult time for Tata workers, their families and the community, we are determined to support workers and businesses in our Welsh steel industry, whatever happens.”BROOKFIELD, Conn., Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Photronics, Inc.

Lisa Simpson once said during an episode of “The Simpsons:” What could be more exciting than the savage ballet that is pro football? On Monday night, the entire Simpsons universe gets to experience it in a way not many could have imagined. The prime-time matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys will also take place at Springfield’s Atoms Stadium as part of “The Simpsons Funday Football” alternate broadcast. The altcast will be streamed on ESPN+, Disney+, and NFL+ (on mobile devices). ESPN and ABC have the main broadcast, while ESPN2 will carry the final “ManningCast” of the regular season. The replay will be available on Disney+ for 30 days. Globally, more than 145 countries will have access to either live or on replay. “We’re such huge football fans, and the Simpsons audience and the football audience, I feel, are like the same audience of just American families and football. And the Simpsons are so much a part of the DNA of the American family and culture that for us to, like, mush them together in this crazy video game, it’s so fun,” said Matt Selman, executive producer of “The Simpsons.” While the game is the focal point, the alternate broadcast, in some ways, will resemble a three-hour episode of “The Simpsons.” It starts with Homer eating too many hot dogs and having a dream while watching football. Homer joins the Cowboys in the dream while Bart teams up with the Bengals. Lisa and Marge will be sideline reporters. “That’s the beginning of the story, and the story continues through the entire game until Homer wakes up from his dream at the end of the game. It is like a complete story, and the NFL game will happen in between. It’s just going to be an amazing presentation with tons of surprises,” said Michael “Spike” Szykowny, ESPN’s VP of edit and animation. This is the second year ESPN has done an alternate broadcast for an NFL game. It used the characters from “Toy Story” for last year’s Sunday morning game from London between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars. “The Simpsons” has featured many sports-themed episodes during its 35 seasons. Even though “Homer at the Bat” remains the consensus favorite sports episode for many Simpsons fans, there have been football ones such as “Bart Star” and “Lisa The Greek.” There also was a Super Bowl-themed one after Fox’s broadcast of Super Bowl 33 between Denver and Atlanta in 1999. Even though “The Simpsons” remains a staple on Fox’s prime-time schedule, it is part of the Disney family after their acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019. All 35 seasons are on Disney+. The show’s creators have worked with ESPN and the NFL to make sure the look and sound is definitely Simpsonsesque. The theme song is a mash-up of “The Simpsons” opening and “Monday Night Football’s” iconic “Heavy Action.” There have also been pre-recorded skits and bits to use during the broadcast featuring Simpson’s legendary voices Hank Azaria, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, and Yeardley Smith. The telecast will be entirely animated, with the players’ movements in sync with what is happening in real-time on the field. That is done through player-tracking data enabled by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats system and Sony’s Beyond Sports Technology. While Next Gen Stats tracks where players are on the field with a tracking chip in the shoulder pads, there is skeletal data tracking and limb tracking data — which uses 29 points per player — to get closer to the player’s movements. The other data tracking will allow Beyond Sports and Disney to add special characters to the game. For example, there might be a play where Lisa catches the ball and goes 30 yards instead of Cincinnati’s Tee Higgins. “Lisa is much smaller than the rest of the players. So, in real life, the ball would go over her head, but now, with data processing, we can take the ball and make it go exactly into her hands. So for the viewer, it still looks believable, and it all makes sense,” said Beyond Sports co-founder Nicolaas Westerhof. The other major challenge is making “The Simpsons” two-dimensional cartoon characters into 3-D simulations. Szykowny and his team worked to make that a reality over the past couple of months. “That’s a big leap of faith for them to say, hey, we trust you to make our characters 3-D and work with it. Our ESPN creative studio team has done a wonderful job,” Szykowny said. Lisa, Krusty, Nelson, Milhouse and Ralph will be with Bart and the Bengals; while Carl, Barney, Lenny and Moe join up with with Homer and the Cowboys. The broadcast will also feature ESPN personalities Stephen A. Smith, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. ESPN’s Drew Carter, Mina Kimes and Dan Orlovsky will call the game from Bristol, Connecticut, and also be animated. They will wear Meta Quest Pro headsets to experience the game from Springfield using VR technology. For Kimes, being part of the broadcast and being an animated Simpsons character is a dream come true. She is a massive fan of the show and has a framed photo of Lisa Simpson — who she said is a personal hero and icon — as part of her backdrop when she makes appearances on ESPN NFL shows from her home in Los Angeles. “I didn’t have any input, and I didn’t see anything beforehand, so I wasn’t sure if it would look like me, but it kind of does, which is very funny,” said Kimes, who drew Simpsons characters when she was a kid. “To see the actual staff turn me into one was a dream.” Even though the Bengals (4-8) and Cowboys (5-7) have struggled this season, Selman thinks both teams have personalities that appeal to “The Simpsons” universe. “We were just so lucky also that the Cowboys are sort of like a Homer Simpson-type team, American team, and Mike McCarthy might be a Homer-type guy, one might imagine,” he said. ”And then you have Joe Burrow on the other side who is a cool young, spiky-haired, blonde bad boy -- he’s like Bart. And that fits our character archetypes so perfectly. “If Homer is mad at Bart and has a hot dog dream while watching ’Monday Night Football’, and then it’s basically McCarthy versus Burrow, Homer versus Bart, and that’s the simple father versus son strangling — Homer strangling Bart dynamic that has been part of the show for 35 years. I don’t know if that would have worked as well if it was like Titans versus Jacksonville. We would have found something. We would have made it work.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — For a pair of lower-level downhill events, this sure had plenty of Olympic medal-capturing and World Cup-winning ski racers. The stage belonged to Lindsey Vonn , the 40-year-old who took another step on her comeback trail Saturday with her first races in nearly six years. Vonn wasn't particularly speedy and finished in the middle of the pack on a cold but sunny day at Copper Mountain. Times and places weren't the mission, though, as much as getting used to the speed again and gaining the necessary points to compete on the World Cup circuit this season. Vonn accomplished both, finishing 24th in the first downhill race of the day and 27th in the second. She posted on social media after the FIS races that she had enough points to enter World Cup events. The timing couldn't be more perfect — the next stop on the women's circuit is Beaver Creek, Colorado, in a week. Vonn, who used to own a home in nearby Vail, hasn't committed to any sort of timetable for a World Cup return. “Today was a solid start and I had a blast being in start with my teammates again!” Vonn wrote on X . “While I’m sure people will speculate and say I’m not in top form because of the results, I disagree. This was training for me. I’m still testing equipment and getting back in the groove.” Her competition — a veritable who's who of high-profile ski racers — applauded her efforts. “I don't expect her to come back and win — just that she comes back and she has fun,” said Federica Brignone of Italy, a former overall World Cup champion and three-time Olympic medallist. “She's having fun, and she’s doing what she loves. That’s the best thing that she could do.” In the first race on a frigid morning, Vonn wound up 1.44 seconds behind the winning time of 1 minute, 5.79 seconds posted by Mirjam Puchner of Austria. In her second race through the course later in the morning, Vonn was 1.53 seconds behind Cornelia Huetter of Austria, who finished in 1:05.99. Huetter is the reigning season-long World Cup downhill champion. “It’s really nice to compare with her again, and nice to have her (racing) again,” Huetter said. “For sure, for the skiing World Cup, we have a lot of more attention. It's generally good for all racers because everyone is looking.” Also in the field were Nadia Delago of Italy, who won a bronze medal in downhill at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and Puchner, the Olympic silver winner in super-G in Beijing. In addition, there was Marta Bassino of Italy, a winner of the super-G at the 2023 world championships, and two-time Olympic champion Michelle Gisin of Switzerland. “For me, it was really a training, but it was fun to have a World Cup race level right here,” Gisin said. “It was a crazy race.” Vonn remains a popular figure and took the time after each run to sign autographs for young fans along with posing for photos. When she left the sport, Vonn had 82 World Cup race victories — including 18 in Lake Louise, Alta. — which stood as the record for a woman and within reach of the all-time Alpine record of 86 held by Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark. The women’s mark held by Vonn was surpassed in January 2023 by Mikaela Shiffrin, who now has 99 wins — more than any alpine ski racer in the history of the sport. Shiffrin is currently sidelined after a crash in a giant slalom event in Killington, Vermont , last weekend. Vonn’s last major race was in February 2019, when she finished third in a downhill during the world championships in Sweden. The three-time Olympic medallist left the circuit still near the top of her game. But all the broken arms and legs, concussions and torn knee ligaments took too big a toll and sent her into retirement. She had a partial knee replacement last April and felt good enough to give racing another shot. “It's very impressive to see all the passion that Lindsey still has,” Gisin said. Also racing Saturday was 45-year-old Sarah Schleper, who once competed for the United States but now represents Mexico. Schleper was the next racer behind Vonn and they got a chance to share a moment between a pair of 40-somethings still racing. “I was like, ‘Give me some tips, Lindsey,’” Schleper said. “She’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a highway tuck, the whole thing.’ Then she’s like, ‘It’s just like the good old days.’" ___ AP skiing: https://apnews.com/hub/alpine-skiing Pat Graham, The Associated Press
The Ferozepur Road Industrial Association (FRIA) has stressed the need for undertaking economic reforms and improving the regulatory environment so that financial stability can be achieved in the long-run. The newly-elected chairman of FRIA Shehbaz Aslam, in a statement issued here on Saturday, stressed the need for reducing cost of doing business, besides evolving a new price control mechanism, as huge taxation, rising oil prices and constant jump in electricity and gas tariffs have lifted the cost of production to a new high. He warned that bailout packages from the IMF were unlikely to speed up economic growth, as the political instability and lack of reforms would further deteriorate the financial situation in the country. The FRIA Chairman observed that amidst continuous of hike in cost of production in the country, what the Pakistan’s economy really needs is persistent and sound economic management. The Chairman warned the authorities that high inflation can hurt economic growth and a careful policy is required to keep it in control. He said that the pace of inflation is skyrocketing at a time when the economic activity is slowing down. Shahbaz Aslam said that the anti-business policies would prove detrimental to the industries due to high cost of doing business and will also open the floodgates of inflation. In addition to making the electricity bills costlier and unaffordable for the consumers, the hike in base tariff would escalate prices of all household goods being widely used in every household, he added. He termed the constant increase in tariffs unlawful and a violation of NEPRA’s own rules and regulations, as any increase in tariff has to be determined and implemented only after holding public hearings but unfortunately they have solely decided to raise the tariff without holding public hearings, he argued. He condemned the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority’s decision to increase electricity tariffs on daily basis, stating that the burden of power theft, mismanagement, and inefficiencies cannot be shifted to consumers on the pretext of fuel adjustment.PIANA TECHNOLOGY'S ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) REPORT UNDERSCORES ITS UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION

Dissenting judgments were vociferously advocated as a means of facilitating a culture of debate today by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court. At an event or organised in Kolkata by The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, Justice Dipankar Dutta highlighted why these comprise an important element of the judicial system. "We don't write dissenting judgments to point out flaws and loopholes in the opinion of the majority," Justice Dutta said. "What the dissenting judge is doing is giving an absolutely new alternative view of the entire matter". The event commemorated Justice Radha Binod Pal, an iconic figure in international jurisprudence, best known for his courageous dissenting opinion at the Tokyo Trials, where he upheld the principles of fairness, impartiality, and legality. Justice Dutta said differences are bound to occur and it all depends on how one interprets the law and applies the law to given facts and circumstances. "The second important aspect of a dissenting judgment is to stimulate debate and discussion. Dissenting judgements encourage critical analysis and reflection of the issues at hand," he said. To explain the point, he referred to statistics for this year at the Supreme Court, where there are nine-judge, seven-judge and five-judge benches. Of nine five-judge bench, three have had dissenting opinions, he said. Same happened with two of three seven-judge bench and all three of three nine-judge bench decisions. "This means of 15 decisions delivered by constitutional benches during the year, eight, that is more than half, had dissenting opinions, facilitating a constant culture of debate and learning from our colleagues on the bench," he said. Dissenting judgments also provide guidance for future cases by "planting seeds for potential reversal or modification," he said. "There have been cases in the past, where the minority opinion has in course of time been accepted as the correct opinion," Justice Dutta added. Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha, who also spoke at the event, highlighted how the new Indian state distanced itself from the dissenting opinion of Justice Radha Binod Pal. The legal luminary was not India's representative, he said, highlighting the need to reinvent legal definitions inherited from the colonial past. "My view is that the importance of Justice Pal's opinions is not really in the dissent. I think it is in the character of the person, it is in his courage... holding for what he thought to be truthful... If you have a larger interest, like the interest of a nation, or even higher - the interest of the truth," he added.

Banks puts up 22 in UMBC's 84-71 win against TowsonModernisation has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient, introducing technological advancements and streamlined processes that save time and effort. However, this rapid pace of life comes with a heavy toll on mental health. The constant pressure to perform, stay connected, and keep up with an ever-evolving world has led to increased stress, anxiety, and burnout. Social media overexposure, lack of downtime, and the erosion of work-life balance only compound these challenges. While progress has its perks, it has also highlighted the need for effective mental health strategies, reminding us that true well-being requires a balance between advancement and inner peace. Innovative Therapies in Modern Mental Health Care Emerging Techniques in Mental Wellness: Dr. Ashish Bansal, MD, Consultant Psychiatrist and Co-Founder of House of Aesthetics in New Delhi, says that there is an urgent need to address mental health challenges, combining traditional therapies with new-age technologies. Neurofeedback Therapy: Dr. Bansal describes this technique as a way to regulate brainwave patterns using EEG monitoring. “It's a great therapy to get relief from anxiety, PTSD etc. and enhances the focus of the individuals,” he says. Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: For deep healing and overcoming end-of-life anxiety, depression etc., this therapy is quite an emerging way. Psychiatrists are trying to use this technique to help dealing with individuals to recover in a better way, says Dr. Bansal. Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET): Dr. Bansal explains how VRET helps individuals confront fears and overcome phobias or anxiety. “When exposed with their fears that trigger anxiety, a psychiatrist helps his clients to help them overcome their challenges,” he says. Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate Variability: Dr. Bansal says, “Research has proven a direct association between mental health and heart rate variability (HRV) as well as respiratory rate variability (RRV). These signify the status of the body’s autonomic nervous system which is responsible for regulating the mood and achieving emotional balance. HRV biofeedback therapy is useful for the management of anxiety and depressive symptoms.” Holistic Practices for Everyday Mental Well-Being Mindfulness: Aamish Dhingra, ICF-PCC Certified Life Coach and Co-Founder of Cocoweave Coaching International, explains that mindfulness is one of the simplest yet most effective strategies to ease life’s complexities. It involves living in the present moment, leaving behind the distress of the past and worries about the future. He recommends starting with 5–10 minutes and gradually increasing the duration. Healing with Sound: Dhingra highlights sound therapy as an effective way to align the mind with the body. Using instruments like gongs and tuning forks, this technique employs vibrations and frequencies to calm a chaotic mind. These sounds mimic brainwaves, helping individuals enter a meditative, deeply healing state. Visualisation Technique: Dhingra also promotes visualisation, which encourages individuals to imagine the reality they want to manifest. By focusing on a goal in detail and envisioning the emotions tied to its achievement, this method helps foster positivity and clarity. Digital Detox: Dhingra stresses the importance of taking breaks from social media. He advises establishing screen-free hours and replacing mindless scrolling with informative reading to reduce digital dependency. Mapping Goals with a Life Coach: A life coach, according to Dhingra, not only motivates individuals but also helps resolve personal, professional, and internal conflicts. Acting as a supportive guide, they help broaden perspectives and navigate challenges.
