Insane AI news A new paper introduces ASI-ARCH, a fully automated AI research loop that can independently discover superior neural network architectures, outpacing human designed models. Unlike traditional methods limited by human trial and error, ASI-ARCH connects LLM based

Damn it worked! Genie 3 world --> inpaint UI --> 4x topaz AI upscale --> train 3d gaussian splat You can step inside a painting of Socrates from 1787. Better than any image-to-3d model I've seen. I think Google has stumbled upon the killer app for VR -- the literal holodeck.
