The first two weeks of the Vision Pro were absolutely insane.

Here are 13 examples that prove the Vision Pro is the best piece of tech ever invented.

1) Real-time 3D surgery

Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤

Tracking Everything Everywhere All at Once

paper page: https://t.co/3nmdq8KY57

present a new test-time optimization method for estimating dense and long-range motion from a video sequence. Prior optical flow or particle video tracking algorithms typically operate within limited temporal windows, struggling to track through occlusions and maintain global consistency of estimated motion trajectories. We propose a complete and globally consistent motion representation, dubbed OmniMotion, that allows for accurate, full-length motion estimation of every pixel in a video. OmniMotion represents a video using a quasi-3D canonical volume and performs pixel-wise tracking via bijections between local and canonical space. This representation allows us to ensure global consistency, track through occlusions, and model any combination of camera and object motion. Extensive evaluations on the TAP-Vid benchmark and real-world footage show that our approach outperforms prior state-of-the-art methods by a large margin both quantitatively and qualitatively.

This is insane.

A paralyzed man can walk thanks again to AI.

Plus, huge announcments from Neuralink, TikTok, Dharmesh, and 12 new AI tools.

Here's the rundown of everything going on in AI right now:

AI developments this week were insane.

We got massive announcements from Epic Games, OpenAI, Amazon, multiple AI robots, the US Senate, Hippocratic AI, Zapier, Zoom, Elon Musk, Meta, DragGAN, and Apple.

Here's EVERYTHING you need to know and why it's important:

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

The Herculaneum papyri are more than 1800 papyri scrolls that were carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (79 CE), constituting the only surviving library from antiquity that exists in its entirety. Now using new x-ray techniques, these scrolls are being read for the first time in millennia.

I read all 154 pages of Microsoft Research's "Sparks of AGI".

Most people don't realise the shocking reality AI is going to bring.

Here's what I found:

[AI Breakfast @AiBreakfast]

Anthropic has a $5B, 4-yr plan to overtake OpenAI.

Their own pitch deck says they're building a model called “Claude-Next” that's 10x more capable than ChatGPT.

Anthropic was founded by OpenAI's former VP of Research, and Google owns a 10% stake in them.

Can they do it?

[Alex Banks @thealexbanks]

We are at the iPhone moment of AI.

It will transform the future of speech, creativity & biology forever.
