    this is wild. why do photogrammetry when you can optimize for a 5D neural radiance field? this isn't a 3D model of a car: it's a series of renders from a fully connected (non-convolutional) network. the scene is stored in the weights of the network. matthewtancik.com/nerf

    wow. using ML to generate images from text... is about to get a whole lot weirder thanks to the latest @OpenAI research 😳 arxiv.org/abs/2112.10741
    Screenshot of page 2 of the paper showing images including “a hedgehog using a calculator” and "a pixel art corgi pizza" that are near perfect representations of the target text, with no obvious artifacts.

    the year is 2030. after ed sheeran lost his case, musicians exhausted every 4-bar chord progression. pop music now features 23-bar cycles. tutorial videos explain how to escape copyright infringement using arabic 17 tone equal temperament. noise music experiences a renaissance.

    when you have to stomp out the face in the snow so your surveillance camera stops texting you @internetofshit
    Facebook post with a photo of a face-like blob in the snow, reading: "so we have an outdoor security camera with face recognition alerts that are sent to our phones to alert us of unfamiliar faces in the backyard. Well, the alerts were spamming our phones all night long because of this face that the camera was picking up. Oh, come on really!"
    Facebook comment reading "this is me destroying the face before heading to work." with photo of person in jacket holding bags stomping on the snow.

    New research & tracker for Ethereum energy + emissions. I estimate that every day Ethereum delays PoS, it emits ~20ktCO2. That’s comparable to two to three coal power plants.
