Huge props to Lord and Miller for stepping up and doing what directors like Nolan are too cowardly to do: be up front and give loud and generous credit to their VFX team. Great directors don’t need to lie about how their movies are made; the work speaks for itself.

Any idea why Scholar Inbox cannot find the paper arxiv.org/abs/2512.11508? @si-cv-graphics.bsky.social @andreasgeiger.bsky.social

If you want me to consider reading something, you have to convince me that you care way more than I do.

When you deploy heavily LLM text, you currently have no way to prove that you actually read it and therefore cannot convince me to read it

All the "you need to learn AI skills or you'll get left behind" things are patently nonsense. It's easy to use and only becomes easier to use over time. If there's skill it's in knowing what it does well and what is does poorly

This is a really good point. While there are men and women on the 'sceptic' side of all these debates, I don't know of any women on the AI 'booster' side. It's really a guy thing

When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who told you so.

Looking forward to a busy #ICCV2025. I will give three (very different) talks at workshops and tutorials, see info below. We also present two papers, ACE-G and SCR Priors. And it's the 10th (!) anniversary of the R6D workshop, which we co-organize.

#TTT3R: 3D Reconstruction as Test-Time Training TTT3R offers a simple state update rule to enhance length generalization for #CUT3R — No fine-tuning required! 🔗Page: rover-xingyu.github.io/TTT3R We rebuilt @taylorswift13’s "22" live at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards - in 3D!

🚀 Europe’s first exascale supercomputer is here! JUPITER, launched in Germany, is the EU’s most powerful system and fourth fastest worldwide. 100% powered by renewables, it has also ranked first in energy efficiency. It will boost AI, science, and climate research. Read more - europa.eu/!vcWBqW

There is a lot to hate about the politics of the silicon valley right, but they do actually want to build stuff, and I would prefer if the left didn't cede "we should be able to build stuff" to the right.

I can't* fathom why the top picture, and not the bottom picture, is the standard diagram for an autoencoder. The whole idea of an autoencoder is that you complete a round trip and seek cycle consistency—why lay out the network linearly?

In general I think 3D vision would do well to take some inspiration from Bayesians. I guess these days they lost their glamour, but imo it's a very nice way of thinking that feels somewhat lost currently.

"It is beautiful. It is elegant. Does it work well in practice? Not really. This is often the caveat we face in research: the things that are beautiful don't work and the things that work are not beautiful." – Daniel Cremers

"As roboticists and computer vision people [outside of big tech], do we have to just wait for the next foundation model?" I share the frustration. It's disempowering when most major progress recently is downstream of "foundation models" that you don't have the compute or data to train yourself.

Yay, DINOv3 is out! SigLIP (VLMs) and DINO are two competing paradigms for image encoders. My intuition is that joint vision-language modeling works great for semantic problems but may be too coarse for geometry problems like SfM or SLAM. Most animals navigate 3D space perfectly without language.

What are the best resources to learn about VLMs? Papers, tutorials, courses, blog posts, whatever is good. I can read the Kimi-VL or GLM tech reports and follow the breadcrumbs but I'd appreciate any and all recommendations towards a useful VLM curriculum! 🙏

DUNE is a great universal image encoder which works for a large class of tasks and beats its teacher MASt3R on map free localization. #cvpr2025 We use it a lot already, I recommend it. (keynote @ Paris by @dlarlus.bsky.social )

I agree 100%. It's one thing to criticize corporate practices, the social impact, ethics, or future risks. But I watch in total awe how it writes in a few seconds a well documented program in a language/API I don't know, while they complain "but it might have a bug and requires a pass or two" O_o

📢 New @cosmik.network‬ blog post! Herbert Simon told us that information consumes attention. For 50 years, we've accepted that as a one-way street: attention as a scarce resource. This is the *linear* attention economy: we feel it as acute info overload, too many browser tabs open >

Depending on who you talk to, a “deep dive” can mean spending seven years leading a field of research, or it can mean having six words on a slide instead of two.

Ambitious projects are happening in Zurich’s AI scene. www.theverge.com/news/669238/...

This pattern is going to repeat in one domain after another, and gradually force us to admit that 60% of every job is networking, knowing who to trust, and doing poorly justified risk/benefit assessment.

The “AI Scientist” work, while interesting, sort of mischaracterizes the process of science as generating hypotheses and running experiments. The actual thing is so much more interesting: interpreting unclear evidence, reasoning about unsteady foundations, etc.
