Did 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?

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 basically plugging a couple of techniques together that already existed, allowing to turn 2D text-to-image into 3D text-to-image.

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.

Blown away by how quickly this stuff is advancing, even as someone who's relatively cynical about AI art.

Time and time again these ML techniques are proving to be wildly modular and pluggable. Maybe sooner or later someone will build a framework for end to end text-to-effective-ML-architecture that will just plug different things together and optimize them.

as with a majority of ML research
