All LLMs get confused on the correct hole, orientation of the angled beam, where each component go...

I'm stumbling onto a challenging task for any AI I've tried:

I'm trying to get a correct description of the basic Lego assembly depicted here, with steps.

They all messed up: Grok2, Gemini2, Sonnet3.5, GPT-4o and o1.

I've tried with the full manual page, or this zoom. Same.

@archiptere Je venais justement demander si il y avait possiblité de cross-post vos threads super interessants sur Bluesky, afin de continuer à pouvoir les lire. L'atmosphère y est bonne, et les comptes comme le votre gagnent vite en followers grace aux listes.

@kimusan @hmltn Does the Quest+ trial that comes with the purchase of the quest, and allow to redeem tons of games for free, potentially explaining it as well ? That’s a lot of games to go through before needing to buy a new one…

@albn Discovered that a year ago with bouldering !

State-Based Model Target, a quick how to:
1. - Import your CAD into Creo Illustrate
2. - Create a sequence (animations + shader)
3. - Export as a .PVZ file
4. - Generate and train the SBMT.
5. - Test your SBMT (Vuforia Creator App).
6. - Bring the SBMT into your app

@dieworkwear And this is not really in a walkable community…

[Florent Germain @flgrm2]

We released State Based Model Target in beta : this new feature allows you to keep track of an object, even when its aspect changes drastically over time, due to assembly/disassembly.

Stay tune for an how-to video. In the meantime : https://t.co/UDGiajwoDn… #AR #Vuforia

Did anyone try to proxy for GPT-4 / Claude in a Warhammer game, taking pictures of the battle and asking for next moves ?

Wondering if a multi-modal model fine-tuned on rulesets could play the game properly over pictures...

Who is building an AI-powered paper RPG GameMaster ?

@ATinyGreenCell @iris_IGB Followed @iris_IGB for the LK99 story, but staying for those incredible threads. Godspeed to you both !

@whoisvaibhav @8teAPi This is best anecdote I’ve ever read and it is always a pleasure to read it again

@tom_krikorian Ça me manque toujours mais je ne supportais plus d’être dépendant ! Le sevrage a été difficile (fatigue, mal au crâne diffus pendant un mois…). Mais rien à voir avec la clope je pense, donc encore bravo !

[Florent Germain @flgrm2]

@dieworkwear love reading your threads !
They brought one question if you mind : if someone wanted to do his own tailoring, could a single individual access the high quality textiles they would need, or is sourcing only possible if you are a company /reputable shop ?

[Florent Germain @flgrm2]

If you feel like you’re having a bad day, think about the cops that will have to sort out the mess after the Dark Matter season finale.

@komakinex @ZibraAI Emitter + project setup :

[Florent Germain @flgrm2]

After 2 years of occasional experiments with realtime fluid sim in AR, I've stumbled upon @ZibraAI which is so much better than anything else I tried. Finally some realistic volumetric flow sim than run on mobile.
Combined with @Vuforia Model Target, it's incredibly compelling.

[Florent Germain @flgrm2]

@komakinex @ZibraAI Here are the settings I have on my emitter :

It's always fun to see this project suddenly get some views and RT out of Japan, without any particular reason :) https://t.co/wUVolSwzaC
