The research frontier may slow. The release frontier will slow more. Get ready for API models 2-3 generations behind internal SOTA. And you thought competing with labs at the application layer is hard now...

There are a lot of things wrong with this world… but too much intelligence is not one of them.

This is getting the VR community excited again and justifiably so. It will be the inflection point. Comfort has always been the primary impediment. Also, high quality MR with giant peripherals could make this all (work)day wearable.

The next step change. @TimSweeneyEpic put a delta team on making sure this is operable with UE 🙏🏻

"AI Bro" here. Your show was one of my favorites growing up. The problem is, fewer than a hundred shows per year can be made like this. There are plenty of ethical AI models trained on licensed data. Even Google's models are trained on Youtube, which they have a right to train on. So is your argument against filmmaking being easy? If so, compared to drawing, CGI artists barely "do the work of an artist"; they merely instruct computers via mouse clicks and keyboard strokes. We do the same thing. It's not that AI filmmakers hate cameras or pencils; it's just impossible to make a TV show. I spent 15 years before I made my first one. It cost $2M an episode, and then it got stuck in studio hell for years. It's really admirable that you're fighting for artists, but the reality is that you're fighting for less than 100,000 artists who have the skills to adapt to new film technology just as they have been doing for the last 40+ years. I'm fighting for the 220 million content creators around the world who would never otherwise be able to make films. I'm fighting for the East African film student who could create the next Star Wars, but she doesn't have access to a film community, investors, or anything beyond her $300 laptop. But with AI, she can create anything. We shouldn't be fighting for a broken studio model that never cared about artists in the first place. AI is rock and roll. It is democratized tools, equally distributed. It is a creative revolution. Don't be Billy Graham, decrying that rock erodes our values. Be Elvis. Be the Beatles. Because change is coming whether you like it or not. You can commit AI slop on every post, but it will not get jobs back for your peers and friends. Equipping them with these tools and teaching them to surf the tsunami is the only way old Hollywood will survive. I know it's scary, I know it's disruptive, and the future is unclear, but one thing is certain: We are about to see the greatest explosion in creativity in the history of mankind. Content will 10000x what it is today. From dogshit slop to A5 Wagyu slop and everything in between. Because slop is just a term for these mediocre tools in the hands of untalented filmmakers. But the tools keep getting better each day. Current filmmakers are improving. And traditional filmmakers adapting and joining the ranks of those who do will not let Hollywood decide their destiny. Your rallying cry to resist change dooms your peers who could lead the way for the industry to adapt. You cannot put AI back in pandora's box. Films will never be the same again. We need veterans to lead the change, not gimmicky marketers. We need voices like yours to bridge the quality of the past with the speed of the future. What would 6-year old John think of this technology? Imagine what stories the next generation tell with no barrier to filmmaking. Inspire them as you inspired me when I was a young filmmaker. Be a shepherd of this movement.

This is blowing up and justifiably so. It's the gpt3.5 or Rift dk1 moment for AI realtime world models. The implications arguably eclipse all other work in AI right now. Unreal/Unity devs will be among the first to master this new medium.

My longtime partner at Ovation, Sebastian, has always been a 10x UE programmer. Just absolute wizard with cpp this guy. Want to know what's scary? Codex + Copilot just 10x'd him again. Bullish on this technique of orchestrating multiple AIs and monitoring for mistakes.

James Cameron on AI datasets and copyright: "I think people are looking at it all wrong." "Every human being is a model. You create a model as you go through life." "My output should be judged on whether it's too close to plagiarism, not my input."

A snapshot of the unmet expectations of early smart speakers. My biggest surprise about AI so far is how long it's taking these devices to swap in LLMs.

Scorched earth public retribution without forgiveness is a hell of a way to live but I can't say I'd have the strength to act differently. I think many people who piled on in the cancel culture days don't realize that those in the crosshairs kept meticulous receipts.

Navigating apps on TVs is so painfully slow. Does it have to be that way? Do they use underpowered chips to save on costs, or is it mostly network latency? At the very least they should be advance caching your most likely routes through frequently used apps.

First try 😯. The collection of engineering talent at SpaceX is probably unrivaled in history.

Brilliant. I'd expect many of these in Amazon warehouses soon.

i’d add that it feels more like a continuous string of failures working 70h weeks for months on end the success comes more as a result of being directionally correct, learning, not wanting to strangle your cofounder and just simply refusing to quit

After experimenting, this technique is a step change for AI capabilities. I imagine this o1 model wiill be useful for AI R&D itself? Can OpenAI researchers use some internal, unthrottled model to extend their lead recursively? Might be approaching a winner take all moment.

Have Immersive Layers been deprecated already? We added layers to our store page but don't see them in preview. Also, some apps like Beat Saber have immersive cubemaps, but I don't see that option anywhere in app metadata.

AI Godfather or not, at some point you have to imagine Mark will grow tired of Yann's relentless political commentary and how it reflects on Meta. @PalmerLuckey was shown the door after 1 billboard. Yann is thousands of tweets deep...
