Billions purred into technology with minimal use case application. What is the direct implication of this tech? Porn on demand?

  Avante-garde/experimental film making is the main benefactor of all this. Basically, cool looking video no one watches. I say that as a huge fanboy/artist myself. It is like Christmas every other day right now. All this VC money being set on fire to make better Avante-garde film tools is just wonderful. A dream come true.

  There are many direct consequences of people being able to directly transform text into textured 3d models, and even vaster indirect consequences if one pauses to reflect. A tight feedback system with good cohesion could revolutionize, art, design, mechanical engineering, video games, etc, etc.

  Extracting object from an image, transforming the object (rotating, for example), re-blended it into the original image. Or making 3d game assets from objects you have around. Imagine: take your phone, go around town, into shops, into churches, come back, press a button, get huge library 3d assets to populate your game. Or, something like this, for IKEA: couple of photos of a room --> extract objects --> let user re-arrange furniture. The room could be either the user's room or an IKEA showroom. You can do it with existing tools, but this kind of technology reduces it to pressing a couple of buttons.
