Netflix 承认斥资 5.87 亿美元收购了本·阿弗莱克的 AI 公司,而同一周马特·达蒙正因《THE ODYSSEY》而备受赞誉…

Netflix admitting it paid $587 million for Ben Affleck’s AI company the same week Matt Damon is being showered with love for THE ODYSSEY is pretty wild. InterPositive isn’t trying to prompt an entire movie into existence. It builds a custom AI model using footage the production already shot, then helps with post-production work like reframing shots, fixing lighting and backgrounds, removing stunt wires or creating something they forgot to film. So on one side, Damon is starring in this massive celebration of Christopher Nolan doing everything possible for real. On the other, his best friend sold Netflix the technology that could quietly change how hundreds of movies and shows are finished behind the scenes. THE ODYSSEY is the spectacle everybody can see. InterPositive is the change slowly working its way into the pipeline until nobody thinks twice about it anymore. Matt Damon may get the awards, but Ben Affleck might have made the bigger long-term play.

Netflix 承认斥资 5.87 亿美元收购了本·阿弗莱克的 AI 公司,而同一周马特·达蒙正因《THE ODYSSEY》而备受赞誉,这一时间点实在够戏剧化。 InterPositive 并不打算通过 prompt 提示词直接把整部电影生成出来。它会利用剧组已经拍摄的素材构建一个定制化的 AI 模型,然后协助完成后期制作工作,比如重新构图镜头、修正灯光与背景、去除特技吊线,或者补拍一些被遗忘遗漏的内容。 于是,一边是达蒙主演这部盛大庆典之作,致敬克里斯托弗·诺兰竭尽所能追求实拍极致;另一边,他最好的朋友却把可能悄然改变数百部电影和剧集幕后制作方式的技术卖给了 Netflix。 《THE ODYSSEY》是人人可见的奇观;InterPositive 则是正在缓慢渗透进制作流程的变革,直到无人再对其产生疑虑。 马特·达蒙或许会拿奖,但本·阿弗莱克可能在更长远的博弈中下了一手更大的棋。
