This is some incredible and fascinating work! The applications seem endless.

1. High quality video or image from text 2. Taking in any content as input and generating forwards/backwards in time 3. Style transformation 4. Digital World simulation!

You cannot deny that this is an immense technical feat.

I think the real draw comes, of course, from the integration with their own eco-system. I imagine 3d videos shot on the iPhone being played back, Ironman like interfaces that can integrate with your physical Apple devices, etc.

Smart Light Bulbs.

As much as I dislike the inability to host the bulbs locally, it has done wonders for my sleep. I set them to slowly dim over a 45 minute period at night and slowly turn on over a 45 minute period in the morning. I have consistently gotten 8+ hours of amazing sleep and fall asleep + wake up so much easier now than I ever have before.
