Check out what I've been working on lately. Immersive View for Routes.

[Jon Barron @jon_barron]

We've been shipping NeRFs to Google Maps for a few months now. As of this morning, you can read about how we do it: https://t.co/i01p0c8CqH

Immersive View gives users a virtual, close-up look at indoor spaces in 3D! Learn how it uses neural radiance fields to seamlessly fuse photos to produce realistic, multidimensional reconstructions of your favorite businesses and public spaces → https://t.co/hTndc084bD

What a week for AI! Not yet scary, but a feeling is in the air. Things are heating up and people are conflicted.

Why are the brightest minds in AI asking for a 6 month pause, while others say it doesn't go far enough? 🤯

Here's why this debate deserves our attention.

🧵 Thread

[Bilawal Sidhu @bilawalsidhu]

🤯 Hiroshima dropped and there was pin drop silence. Weights for a powerful large language model by Meta are now being torrented into ubiquity ☁️

🧠 What this means is everyone now has access to a GPT caliber model, without the (often) acutely limiting trust & safety layer of an OpenAI API. This is sex without a condom, and I don’t mean waifu diffusion 😂

💬 This will do for text as a modality what stable diffusion did for imagery this past year vs. DALL-E 2. Of course new capabilities will arise working in concert with it, RLHFing it, empowering use cases aplenty 📈

🏛️ Calls for government intervention are fascinating. I get that position but have also seen the benefits of open source first hand. Make no mistake — it’s a double edged sword ⚔️

💸 Guaranteed awesomeness will ensue with a level playing field in LLMs eroding OpenAI’s advantage, but also unleashing large scale spam and misinformation on the internet 📧

⚖️ It’s a fine balance to strike. You can let things acclimatize in open source or you can treat AI like nuclear — system level surveillance to stop rogue AI while also controlling access to GPU clusters ☢️

🏰 Will be interesting to see how USG reacts. Other nation states already had these systems. And now the community does too. What do you think — How might this play out? 🤨

Are you the sort of person who needs to get the feel of somewhere before you commit? 🗺

With immersive view on Google Maps, you can see what a neighborhood is like before you even set foot there📍

✨ Coming to more cities in the next few months ✨

@Corgiboltz Congrats on the launch dude!

AI short film created with text-to-video. https://t.co/DNEsTga216

At the rate of advance in this area of research, we are likely ~2 years out from seeing a major tv show fully created using similar techniques.

prompt in comments!

AI art is fun, especially when you use it to edit reality! I used DALL-E to transform the Palace of Fine Arts into something out of this world 🪄

Can’t wait till AI video generation become even more accessible! 🎥

Goshhhh.... FINALLY !!!
3rd attempt to fluid simulations 🫠
Big thanks to @IRCSS for detailed explenation of GPU fluids simulation and @_kzr for clean and simple implementation ( Links in thread )

Using NeRF and AI to capture objects and spaces with your phone is really going to blow people's minds. Captured with @LumaLabsAI beta. #NeRF #NGP #3DScan

[🇵🇷 Carlos Montero 🧐 @cman2k]

@ImPaulGale @LumaLabsAI I made a floating box in the center of the room with no focus objects as a hack, but later found out there's a free form mode apparently?

[🇵🇷 Carlos Montero 🧐 @cman2k]

@KayVriend @LumaLabsAI Yes, if you view the 3d mesh you can move the camera around as you wish.
