Got 20h of flights coming up and want to learn more about image, 3d and video models.

I'm a beginner, some terms I'm looking up:
- guassian splatting
- nerfs
- stable diffusion

Any recommendations? Links, ordering or keywords help.

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for the representation of natural, complex 3D scenes. NeRFs represent continuous volumetric density and RGB values in a NN, and generate photo-realistic images from unseen camera viewpoints

I know I know everyone on the TL is excited about Gaussian Splatting and NeRF (neural radiance fields) is old news at this point but this is a great intro to NeRF:

of course i will ask llms too, but often out of date for things that move quick / not indexed
