Meta has recently unveiled an artificial intelligence model called the Segment Anything Model (SAM). This is a program that can quickly recognize and remove specific objects within an image or a video. Along with SAM, Meta has also released the Segment Anything 1-Billion (SA-1B) dataset. With this, they claim it is the largest segmentation dataset ever made.
The reason why Meta made the dataset available to the public was to decrease the demand for "task-specific modeling expertise, training compute, and custom data annotation for image segmentation". The SAM model is said to be built using the SA-1B dataset, which is made up of 11 million high-resolution and privacy-respecting photos with over 1 billion masks.

When the first Mario + Rabbids game came out a few years ago, it was initially met with skepticism. Whether it came from the spinoff game looking like a gimmick or due to Ubisoft combining the beloved Mario franchise with silly Rabbids from the Rayman franchise, all that worry disappeared when it came out. Overall, the game was a surprising success, gaining numerous positive reviews, and with good reason. Apart from the fun, XCOM-inspired tactical battle system, what personally drew me in the most was how challenging the game was. It goes without saying that it really leaned in on its quirkiness, making the game more interesting and gaining fans along the way.
Riding on that...
