- 082349872349872 2y agoIf/when cheap enough, even non-phone devices (POS terminals, vending machines, etc) will have cameras; will living in a camera-free environment become the premium feature?
- chpatrick 2y agoCameras are already cheap enough to put in everything.
- fpoling 2y agoThere is no camera. It is just a diffusion model trained on a big set that tries to reconstruct the picture. Essentially this is not much different from what Samsung did with their AI-enhanced camera that detected a moon and replaced that with high-resolution picture.
- holoduke 2y agoAnd yet, we will probably get all camera software on our phones with unlimited zoom and details. Turning grain in crispy clear pictures. Inpainting, outpainting etc. In 5 years from now everybody uses it. Everything becomes fake.
- chpatrick 2y agoThe pictures in the paper are pretty damn close, and this is just a prototype. Plus, as you said, phones already have AI filters.
- wl 2y agoThe text on the Thor Labs "Lab Snacks" box is giant and still unreadable, the model interpolating total junk. It seems like there's nowhere near enough signal there.
- numpad0 2y agoIt still has coded aperture filters. It's well established that you can reconstruct images from shadows on an image sensor cast by strategically designed funky cutouts since pre-LLM days.
