About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.
  9. No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
  10. (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
  12. If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".
  13. Please be respectful to each other.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

Comment (not author's) copied from reddit:

Ok, very interesting. Looked at the tweet below, whats going on there and oscillated between getting hyped, then let down, then a bit more carefully hyped again.

This is the AI tool he uses, which can generate a depthmap from a single image:

https://pytorch.org/hub/intelisl_midas_v2/

Then he uses a shader to use that depthmap to displace the original image.

So what this means is that as of now, you can only get the kind of view that the camera above shows. Its not a full generated scene. Obviously in the single image there is data missing how the various objects would look at from different angles, especially the 'back' of the objects in OP, and his tool does not generate that. The stretchy artefacts you can see at various points are also an effect of that, and should be noted that his specific camera track is curated to make this look its best. If you went deeper into the scene and looked more to left and right, things would start look at lot more shitty. Dont want to say he is pretending otherwise, just to make that clear for people here.

But seems to me, even in the near future it shouldnt be so out of reach to combine a few different tools to make the jump to creating a full 360 3D scene. First you use midjourney to generate images of the same scene from various angles, then get depthmaps for all of them and then you somehow combine that and voila. Looking forward to it, really dont think it will take that long.
