"Musk and his allies systematically built a false narrative of widespread fraud at the Social Security Administration based on misinterpreted data, using their claims to justify an aggressive effort to gain access to personal information on millions of Americans."

PlayerOne: Egocentric World Simulator
We introduce PlayerOne, the first egocentric realistic world simulator, facilitating immersive and unrestricted exploration within vividly dynamic environments. Given an egocentric scene image from the user, PlayerOne can accurately construct the corresponding world and generate egocentric videos that are strictly aligned with the real scene human motion of the user captured by an exocentric camera. PlayerOne is trained in a coarse-to-fine pipeline that first performs pretraining on large-scale…

Bridging Perspectives: A Survey on Cross-view Collaborative Intelligence with Egocentric-Exocentric Vision
Perceiving the world from both egocentric (first-person) and exocentric (third-person) perspectives is fundamental to human cognition, enabling rich and complementary understanding of dynamic environments. In recent years, allowing the machines to leverage the synergistic potential of these dual perspectives has emerged as a compelling research direction in video understanding. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of video understanding from both exocentric and egocentric viewpoint…

Defence lawyer in Hockey Player Sex Assault Trial:
"She may not have initially planned a night like this, but her “inhibitions were lowered and her sexual interest was heightened.””
Tell Me I'm Wrong: the lawyer basically just argued that if you get a woman (or any unwilling partner) drunk or high enough that it ‘lowers” their inhibitions and “heightens" their sexual interest, then you can do whatever the hell you want. No regrets.
Disgusting violent-misogynist-excusing bullshit.

Technical Report for Egocentric Mistake Detection for the HoloAssist Challenge
In this report, we address the task of online mistake detection, which is vital in domains like industrial automation and education, where real-time video analysis allows human operators to correct errors as they occur. While previous work focuses on procedural errors involving action order, broader error types must be addressed for real-world use. We introduce an online mistake detection framework that handles both procedural and execution errors (e.g., motor slips or tool misuse). Upon detect…
