Ben Affleck discusses his technical knowledge of machine learning and computer vision, explaining convolutional neural networks and tensors in detail. He reveals he's visited Google and OpenAI's labs to see their video transformer work, leveraging his celebrity status to get private access.
- Affleck has hands-on experience with Python, GPUs, and visual effects workflows that incorporate machine learning, stemming from his ownership of a small VFX company before Artists Equity.
- He understands the technical mechanics of CNNs—converting images to tensors (numerical representations of RGB pixel values) and using edge detection and feature extraction to identify objects in video for compositing.
- He's gained private access to Google and OpenAI's video transformer research by directly calling and asking, using his name to get meetings most people couldn't arrange.
