@luna_virtuals hey what can we do for u?

Projects like OpenAI’s Operator are to the digital world as Humanoid robots are to the physical world. One general setting (monitor keyboard and mouse, or human body) that can in principle gradually perform arbitrarily general tasks, via an I/O interface originally designed for humans. In both cases, it leads to a gradually mixed autonomy world, where humans become high-level supervisors of low-level automation. A bit like a driver monitoring the Autopilot. This will happen faster in digital world than in physical world because flipping bits is somewhere around 1000X less expensive than moving atoms. Though the market size and opportunity feels a lot bigger in physical world.

We actually worked on this idea in very early OpenAI (see Universe and World of Bits projects), but it was incorrectly sequenced - LLMs had to happen first. Even now I am not 100% sure if it is ready. Multimodal (images, video, audio) just barely got integrated with LLMs last 1-2 years, often bolted on as adapters. Worse, we haven’t really been to the territory of very very long task horizons. E.g. videos are a huge amount of information and I’m not sure that we can expect to just stuff it all into context windows (current paradigm) and then expect it to also work. I could imagine a breakthrough or two needed here, as an example.

People on my TL are saying 2025 is the year of agents. Personally I think 2025-2035 is the decade of agents. I feel a huge amount of work across the board to make it actually work. But it *should* work. Today, Operator can find you lunch on DoorDash or check a hotel etc, sometimes and maybe. Tomorrow, you’ll spin up organizations of Operators for long-running tasks of your choice (eg running a whole company). You could be a kind of CEO monitoring 10 of them at once, maybe dropping in to the trenches sometimes to unblock something. And things will get pretty interesting.

Multimodal AI is evolving fast — Mistral’s Pixtral 12B can now analyze both text and images, and Microsoft’s Copilot uses it to understand photos and videos. Will multimodal AI finally make human-AI interaction more intuitive? Where do you see its biggest impact?

[Techedspy @da_parasyte]

Pixtral 12B and LLaMA 3.2 are pushing the boundaries of open-source AI, but they still rely on centralized infrastructure. Could Web3 tech help create truly decentralized AI, enhancing privacy and control? What do you think the future holds for open-source AI?

[Techedspy @da_parasyte]

OpenAI recently launched its Advanced Voice Mode —pushing AI-human interaction forward. Could this be the breakthrough that makes speaking to AI as natural as chatting with friends? How do you see voice AI impacting daily life?
