Weekly links - Feb 19 2024
I'm restarting a thread I began a few years ago, with some of the weekly links that I found interesting:
- Sora looks incredible, this helps explain how it works as well as some thoughts on what it means for film more generally. The pace of technological change/innovation at the moment is truly mind-blowing: https://every.to/chain-of-thought/sora-and-the-future-of-filmmaking
- An interesting read on the use of psychadelics to treat mental health disorders and how they're beginning to attract more and more investment. There is some really promising research relating to this and I'm excited for the future. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/innovation/2024/02/15/could-psychedelic-drug-start-ups-pave-the-way-to-better-mental-health-investors-seem-to-think-so/
- An amazing use of technology to decipher scrolls that were 'baked' during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. They've only just started on this project, there is so much more to discover. https://scrollprize.org
- A cool little tool for fixing the resolution on your (external) Mac Monitor. I had so many issues with this and this app fixed it permanently in seconds. https://www.madrau.com
