I've got prompts from 4 related papers marked up now. You can try them out here: explainprompt.com
Working on a little side project to visualize prompting techniques like Chain of Thought. I like the idea of being able to break down a paper into bite-sized pieces and then step through the prompt like an interactive debugger.
Did you know that you can use the logit_bias parameter on the #gpt3 API to feed in a specific set of tokens and see which one is the most probable next token

Also enjoyed:

A projection-mapped diffusion model with interactive hand-tracking.

A diffusion model drawing app on iPad with Apple pencil support.

A GPT-3 / DALL-E RPG game which suggests actions but also allows the player to interact with natural language.

An interactive tool for ML-powered microscopy image analysis.

#aihackweek

#aihackweek demo day had so many great projects. Here are some of my favorites:

A #nocode tool which helps users build data transformation tools from natural language.

Adrenaline IDE: An AI-first code editor which can automatically debug runtime errors.

Motif.land: Interactive docs authoring with language model-powered refactoring.

The UI for AI: A graph-based editor for world building combining text and image models

Using Blender to render a depth map and then feeding the depth map into #StabelDiffusion2 to render textures. Those textures then get projection mapped back onto the 3D model in Blender 🤯. https://github.com/carson-katri/dream-textures

Surprising lack of Googlers at this bar #NeurIPS2022 #NewOrleans
Stable Diffusion 2.0 is out and it comes with the ability to synthesize images conditioned on prompts and depth maps making it easier to maintain consistency between images of the same subject https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion#depth-conditional-stable-diffusion

Using the OpenAI Codex model to build an interactive Holodeck

Steps towards prompt-based creation of virtual worlds

Large language models trained for code generation can be applied to speaking virtual worlds into existence (creating virtual worlds). In this work we show that prompt-based methods can both accelerate in-VR level editing, as well as can become part of gameplay rather than just part of game development. As an example, we present Codex VR Pong which shows non-deterministic game mechanics using generative processes to not only create static content but also non-trivial interactions between 3D objects. This demonstration naturally leads to an integral discussion on how one would evaluate and benchmark experiences created by generative models - as there are no qualitative or quantitative metrics that apply in these scenarios. We conclude by discussing impending challenges of AI-assisted co-creation in VR.
