Until your comment I didn't realise I'd also read it wrong (despite getting the gist of it). Attempted rephrase of the original sentence: Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo, free objects from the background, and then move them round to give the illusion of parallax.
Free objects in the background.

I miss those. Anyone know if it's still possible to get the models etc. needed to generate them?
I wish there was an archive of all those melty dreamscapes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DgPaCWJL7XI&t=1s&pp=2AEBkAIB0g... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0oSKFUnEXc

I am looking at ways to approximate Gaussian splats without having to reinvent the wheel, but I'm a bit over my depth since I haven't been playing a lot of attention to those in general.

It will evolve into people hooked into entertainment suits most of the day, where no one has actual relationships or does anything of consequence, like some sad mashup of Wall-E and Ready Player One.
If we’re lucky, some will want to meatspace with augmented reality.
Maybe we’ll get really nice holovisions, where we can chat with virtual celebrities.
Who needs that?
We’re already having to shoot up weight-loss drugs because we binge watch streaming all the time. We’ve all given up, assuming AI will do everything. What good will come from having better technology when technology is already doing harm?

#85Can someone ELI5 what this does? I read the abstract and tried to find differences in the provided examples, but I don't understand (and don't see) what the "photorealistic" part is.
Black Mirror episode portraying what this could do: https://youtu.be/XJIq_Dy--VA?t=14 . If Apple ran SHARP on this photo and compared it to the show, that would be incredible. Or if you prefer Blade Runner: https://youtu.be/qHepKd38pr0?t=107

#87Well, I got _something_ to work on Apple Silicon: https://github.com/rcarmo/ml-sharp (has a little demo GIF) I am looking at ways to approximate Gaussian splats without having to reinvent the wheel, but I'm a bit over my depth since I haven't been playing a lot of attention to those in general.

#88Impressive but something doesn't feel right to me.. Possibly too much sharpness, possibly a mix of cliches, all amplified at once.

Early AI „everything turns into dog heads“ vibes. Beautiful.

Goading companies into improving image and video generation by showing them how terrible they are is only going to make them go faster, and personally I’d like to enjoy the few moments I have left thinking that maybe something I watch is real.
