In a new Weekend Essay, Ted Chiang argues that artificial intelligence can’t make real art. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/-UQFZr

We will present our project on solving vision tasks using '1-pixel cameras'/photoreceptors at #ECCV2024, in the Friday morning session. I will also give a talk on it, along with multimodal learning using self-collected data, on Sunday at 10:10 in Suite 4. the project:

calling it right now, 2024 was the year of slop. it's the year slop took over every facet of culture. google became slop. slop drowned out journalism. not just ai slop–there were slop games like Concord. movie slop like Borderlands. we let a slop ceo get a slop president elected

Very excited about this work!!! The ability to continuously update your representation opens up many possibilities. Its simple yet versatile for all kinds of 3D tasks. A lot of results on our project website cut3r.github.io

Awwww did someone take your hard work and use it to train a model to mimic your expertise without compensation

"A calculator app? Anyone could make that." Not true. A calculator should show you the result of the mathematical expression you entered. That's much, much harder than it sounds. What I'm about to tell you is the greatest calculator app development story ever told.

Thank you to Alex Shipps from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) news for covering our latest work on geometry processing of Escheresque constructions! Excited to share more soon. news.mit.edu/2025/mit-mesch… --- with Isabella Yu , Kartik Chandra (also on Mastodon and Bsky), Jonathan Ragan-Kelley, J. Tenenbaum (CoCoSci MIT), Vincent Sitzmann, Justin Solomon

Should robots have eyeballs? Human eyes move constantly and use variable resolution to actively gather visual details. In EyeRobot (eyerobot.net) we train a robot eyeball entirely with RL: eye movements emerge from experience driven by task-driven rewards.
