Two weeks ago, Netflix confirmed it would livestream the Love Is Blind<\/em> season four reunion. But when the time came, first it was delayed, then, after an hour, Netflix pulled the plug<\/a>. The streaming service soon tweeted an apology and aired the reunion yesterday.<\/p>\n

This was only Netflix’s second attempt at livestreaming<\/a>. Its first, Chris Rock’s comedy special Selective Outrage,<\/em> aired live in March. But Netflix edited his material about being hit by Will Smith at the Oscars. Rock got a film name wrong in a punchline when performing live and corrected himself mid-delivery. The streaming service subsequently cut around the hiccup. Netflix also owns the rights to stream the Screen Actors Guild Awards live, next year, which should give it enough time to fix those technical difficulties.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s new project, a collaboration with marine biologist Steve Simpson and marine ecologist Mary Shodipo, is training AI to recognize aquatic wildlife sounds, hoping to replenish them and raise awareness of the ocean\u2019s troubled habitats. The Earth\u2019s coral reefs have been declining thanks to climate change, overfishing and pollution. The project has online volunteers listening to some reefs and flagging fish noises. Is it thrilling? No. But at least it works, unlike the Love Is Blind<\/em> livestream.<\/p>\n

But you won’t know exactly what design you’re paying for until later.<\/h3>\n

After launching its .Swoosh web3 platform in November, Nike is ready to unveil its first set of digital collectibles today. The company has announced the Our Force 1 (or OF1) series of “virtual creations” will be available to invitees on May 8th, while general access opens on May 10th. You can choose to buy one of two boxes \u2013 Classic Remix or New Wave \u2013 and each will cost $19.82.<\/p>\n

That gets you a digital box \u2013 but you won’t know which design you got. On an undisclosed date after May 10th, Nike will reveal all the OF1 boxes, but you can choose not to open the box, leaving it as a virtual Schrodinger’s sneaker situation.<\/p>\n

Adobe announced Monday it\u2019s working on more AI upgrades, coming to Firefly’s beta program later this year. Building on the company’s long-running AI program, Sensei, Firefly is a suite of generative AI models that can both create and transform audio, video, illustrations and 3D models using text prompts in the same way that Dall-E and ChatGPT do. Firefly’s features are already available across Adobe Premiere Pro, Illustrator, After Effects and Photoshop, with these new features accessible through the closed beta program later this year. They\u2019re to help professional editors cut down on their drudge work, boosting color levels, inserting placeholder images, adding effects, even autonomously recommending b-roll for video projects.<\/p>\n
