It's funny that the authors are 'anonymous' but they have access to Imagen so obviously it's by Google.

#33Did we hit some sort of technical inflection point in the last couple of weeks or is this just coincidence that all of these ML papers around high quality procedural generation are just dropping every other day?

#34Anonymously authored research is very ominous.

#35Unclear to me what is going on, but there’s another URL that lists the authors names. Given it’s possible this change was done for reason, not linking to it, but strikes me as odd it’s still up. Anyone know what’s going on without causing problems for the authors?

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
From the abstract: “We introduce a loss based on probability density distillation that enables the use of a 2D diffusion model as a prior for optimization of a parametric image generator. Using this loss in a DeepDream-like procedure, we optimize a randomly-initialized 3D model (a Neural Radiance Field, or NeRF) via gradient descent such that its 2D renderings from random angles achieve a low loss.” This seems like b…

#38Huh, it's a pretty similar technique to what I outlined a couple days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32965139 Although they start with random initialization and a text prompt. It seems to work well. I now see no reason we can't start with image initialization!

#40Amazing! How long then until we get photorealistic AI generated 3D VR games and experiences in the metaverse?
