3D Gaussian Splatting as Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Novel view reconstructions for (right) our method and (left) conventional 3D Gaussian Splatting with random initializations. Our method, even with random initialization, faithfully reconstructs the scene (e.g.. buildings at the back and the ground texture) providing much higher quality renderings.

Money bubble
I think I’m probably going to lose quite a lot of money in the next year or two. It’s partly AI’s fault, but not mostly. Nonetheless I’m mostly going to write about AI, because it intersects the technosphere, where I’ve lived for decades.
