Artificial lifeforms are super fascinating to watch. These self-organizing, self-replicating, “lifeforms” emerged from a continuous time cellular automata system called Flow-Lenia. Lenia is a family of CAs generalizing Conway’s Game of Life to continuous space, time and states.

3D Gaussian Splats are cool, but they're static (PART 2). 4K4D can turn 4k videos into dynamic scenes and render them in real-time at 80fps on a RTX 4090 GPU. For 1080p videos, the method even reaches a crazy 400fps 🤯 https://t.co/NAA6bocjVs
