I don't think it rigs the models - I think that video is comprised of models generated by Stable Zero123 that were then rigged/animated/postprocessed in Blender.

When I had it block the Twitter mobile app, it also blocked twitter.com - I assume the same thing will happen if you block Facebook. The founders have mentioned they're adding supp…

The nag/friction that happens every time I try to open the app when I'm under buddget on this has cut down my doomscrolling so much. Really a fan of this approach - Twitter usage i…

It’s accurate. Google was started out of her parent’s garage, and she became involved around then.

Just adding my two cents here - I bought a quest pro hoping to use it as a monitor replacement while traveling for a couple of months. I found it pretty much unworkable after tryin…

We got this working in Three.js - it works great for painting scenery and backgrounds.

From my understanding the model in the linked video only stylizes existing meshes from text. There’s plenty of papers that have tried text -> 3D model generation using photogrammet…

It's very possible they are doing something with them, just not the sort of thing OpenAI is doing. Google could have a model just as capable as Whisper running in their Google Clou…

Google has models that are at parity with or outperform OpenAIs models at most tasks, they just don’t bring them to market quickly or build their brand around them as strongly as O…

The common refrain in 2015 was that we were At this point we have a public robotaxi service in one suburban area and two robotaxi services operating under restricted domains in SF …

Yeah, I know, I worked at Waymo. My point wasn’t that these systems will never work in some capacity - my point is that they’re taking a lot longer to roll out than people predicte…

I’m a little skeptical - at least of the view that we’re a few years away from all animation jobs being dead and ML models producing entire movies or TV episodes e2e from text prom…

This is just an off the shelf img2depth model run on top of stable diffusion - I don’t think there’s a novel model or research behind this. People have been doing the same thing in…

I think this is just created by running a depth prediction model on the output of stable diffusion and then inserting the relevant mesh into a 3D scene. The output of stable diffus…

Haven’t read the paper yet, but based on the videos it likely generates the rotation of each bone in the skeleton, which can then be used to animate a humanoid skeleton. So the vid…

Nah - it's going to be wonky as hell, and robotics is much more complex and exacting than this. This is useful for animation or creative stuff.

This is par for the course - there have been other instances where an 'anonymous' paper mentioned training on a cluster of TPUs that weren't publicly available yet - dead giveaway …

This is crazy good - most prior text-to-3d models produced weird amorphous blobs that would kind of look like the prompt from some angles, but had no actual spatial consistency. Bl…
