ByteSize Daily Wrap - 2023/11/15

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Pull up a chair, grab that cup of coffee sitting perfectly at 45 degrees from your elbow, and let's revel in the joyous dance of techno-babble together! Today, we'll be sliding down the silicon valley of AI updates, catching some airs on the rails of low code, and landing with a splash in the tech news hub. Prepare to be amazed, intrigued, and possibly left scratching your head in wonderment as we delve into the world of YouTube's latest AI enchantments, Google's valiant defense of small businesses, and an AI chemist that has achieved what no human could - oxygen production. On Mars!

First things first, let's talk about our dear friend Chad Hurley and his sneaky, yet sparkling AI endeavour. It's as though he's taken a page right out of a James Bond movie and started his own operation, 'Project Stealthy’. Now, what it entails? Even our bespectacled tech mole couldn't decipher. But assuredly, it'll be something to marvel at - after all, Hurley is anything but low key when it comes to tech revolutions. Up next, we have Google, gallantly draping a protective mantle around small businesses but, of course, not forgetting AI users. I mean, if Google were a superhero, it would surely have "AI Defender" as a recognised alias. And of course, we would be remiss not to mention Nvidia and its powerhouse GPU. It's like giving lightning speed to tortoise-paced AI technology. But perhaps, the cherry atop this techno-banana split is OpenAI and its multi-million-dollar tug of war with Google over the crème de la crème of AI researchers. Who knew being a nerd would make you the belle of the ball!

Insights & Papers

• (Link) Dive into the Innovative 3DStyle-Diffusion for Enhanced Mesh Stylisation: This article introduces the 3DStyle-Diffusion model, a clever new way to stylise 3D meshes. By combining 2D Diffusion models with 3D meshes, it allows for more precise control over the appearance and geometry of the models. The process involves parameterising the texture of a 3D mesh into reflectance and lighting, then using a pre-trained 2D Diffusion model to align the rendered images with a text prompt. It's a fascinating technique that brings a whole new level of creativity to 3D design. So, next time you want to give your 3D model a unique style, just diffuse it! 😄
