Really cool video about why the video games industry is struggling: everybody has to compete with addictive social media for eyeballs and time. And unless whole new markets are opened up (humans are not born quickly enough) there's just no longer a way to create exponential growth. But billionaire investors need that. That's why they are rather investing in AI.
By the way, this is the same reason that cinemas have gotten in trouble (and now even streaming services...)

LongVie: Multimodal-Guided Controllable Ultra-Long Video Generation
Controllable ultra-long video generation is a fundamental yet challenging task. Although existing methods are effective for short clips, they struggle to scale due to issues such as temporal inconsistency and visual degradation. In this paper, we initially investigate and identify three key factors: separate noise initialization, independent control signal normalization, and the limitations of single-modality guidance. To address these issues, we propose LongVie, an end-to-end autoregressive fr…

Conquering High Packet-Loss Erasure: MoE Swin Transformer-Based Video Semantic Communication
Semantic communication with joint semantic-channel coding robustly transmits diverse data modalities but faces challenges in mitigating semantic information loss due to packet drops in packet-based systems. Under current protocols, packets with errors are discarded, preventing the receiver from utilizing erroneous semantic data for robust decoding. To address this issue, a packet-loss-resistant MoE Swin Transformer-based Video Semantic Communication (MSTVSC) system is proposed in this paper. Se…

Does anybody else see "VC" in an article and have their brain replace it with "Viet Cong"?
It's so much funnier imagining someone making a funding pitch to a bunch of communist guerrillas in the jungle rather than some stodgy bay area tech bros.

Revenue Optimization in Wireless Video Caching Networks: A Privacy-Preserving Two-Stage Solution
Video caching can significantly improve delivery efficiency and enhance quality of video streaming, which constitutes the majority of wireless communication traffic. Due to limited cache size, caching strategies must be designed to adapt to and dynamic user demand in order to maximize system revenue. The system revenue depends on the benefits of delivering the requested videos and costs for (a) transporting the files to the users and (b) cache replacement. Since the cache content at any point i…
