Impressive news from the Google AI department: Generating 3D flythroughs from still photos

Google’s newish #ml model #infiniteNature-zero looks interesting - generating consistent 3D video scenes of landscape from ‘a single 2d image.’ Slightly misleading as the #machineHallucination is inferentially derived from its training set. They conclude “Our work points towards future algorithms that can generate complete, photorealistic, and consistent 3D worlds.” Inevitably, if these sorts of #algorithms form #softwarePatents, then the so-called #metaverse is going to be a #nasty #expensive #plutocratic #panopticon. I’d rather stick to #reality, which is #openSource and #higher-Resolution anyway 🥸 https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/11/infinite-nature-generating-3d.html?m=1
