The work they are doing for both FF7 and DS9 is fascinating. I am more interested than frightened by it, though I wonder how open these technology stacks are.
… huh.
The biggest takeaway for me is I didn’t realize they enhanced the DS9 theme after season 1. That is way different that what I’m used to! Very good!
AI Gigapixel is definitely not open-source, although a lot of the other machine learning / neural net stuff I’ve come across is open-source.
I know people who are annoyed that DS9 didn’t get the same enhanced HD BluRay treatment like the TOS and TNG series did. They would drool over this.
I wonder if this could ever be added to existing software as post processing; without blowing up the CPU? Maybe in hardware? Like old school hardware decoder cards; or the shenanigans we embed in GPUs now.
