This looks like the video equivalent of Dall-E 1. Hard to believe how far we've come so quickly. The paper talks about "pseudo 3D attention layers" that are used in place of temporal attention layers for each dimension due to memory consumption. It seems like AI research is vastly outpacing GPU development.
I don’t want to think reality is a simulation, but wouldn’t our everyday experience being generated by a neural network be far far simpler to achieve than a universe of infinite minuscule atoms all interacting.. like ozcam’s razor is pointing towards our lives being a realistic dream. Like in 10 years you could plug this tech into high end VR and get a prompted reality dynamically generated that would be indistinguis…
A lot of people saying it's over for traditional movie-making - lmao. I look at these and see nothing but uncanny valley artifacts, and I don't think it will improve much from here. It's like self-driving cars. They use almost very effective statistical models, certainly better than our previous models, but they never seem to shake off that "almost" and become truly effective.

That what we're seeing is really reality is the simpler explanation. Because the alternative is that what we see is a simulation ... inside another reality that has full complexity. Which increases the overall complexity. Thus, Occam's Razor says what we see is likely real and not a simulation.

The groups supporting such absurd claims largely boil down to:
- Money-driven researchers in the applied AI field. Those are the people that spam popular ML conferences with barely novel contributions other than some minor tweaks on code from their previous papers.
- People unable to critically think and evaluate the significant limitations of SOTA methods occasionally marketed as AGI breakthroughs.
The first category is much more troubling however, since they can significantly influence research directions due to the broken citation system in academia (more citations --> higher quality contributions).
I'm rooting for this tech. Hopefully this will get modern movies out of their low risk reboot loop since it will be cheaper to make a movie that have new story lines that are commercially untested. I'd be happy to watch a movie that doesn't look AAA, but has compelling writing and makes me think. Or maybe I'll just stick to books.
Though I must admit that if I didn't have friends holding my hand through the minefield of modern cinema, I would also just stick to books.

The neural net itself needs something to run in (some universe). If the argument is that it needs a smaller or simpler universe than ours: first of all it is simulating our universe so all complexity of ours is included anyway, but also, maybe a neural net in a big chaotic universe is more likely than a tiny universe designed to perfectly fit one neural net
