One day historians may look at our first AI models and see how the texture of collective human thought has evolved. Like staring into a reflection of one's past self, except one finally untainted by the wishful rewriting of history.
I promise this will be the best 20 min you spend today! Robotics: Endgame, the sequel to my last year's Sequoia AI Ascent talk, "Physical Turing Test". I laid out the roadmap for solving Physical AGI as a simple parallel to the LLM success story. Be a good scientist, copy homework ;)
And stay till the end, more easter eggs and predictions for your polymarket!
00:30 DGX-1 origin story at OpenAI, I was there in 2016 signing with Jensen and Elon. Heading to the Computer History Museum!
01:42 The Great Parallel
03:31 Robotics, the Endgame
03:39 Why VLAs fall short
04:32 Video world models as the 2nd pretraining paradigm
06:09 World Action Models (WAM)
07:46 Strategies for robot data collection and the FSD equivalent to physical data flywheel for robot manipulation
11:06 EgoScale and the Dexterity Scaling Law we discovered recently
14:00 Physical RL: bridging the last mile
15:39 DreamDojo: an end-to-end neural physics engine for scaling RL in silico
17:00 Civilizational Technology Tree and my predictions for the near future. Spoiler: it's closer than you think.
Thanks to my friends at Sequoia for inviting me back to AI Ascent this year! I had a blast! Last year's talk is attached in the thread if you missed it.
@liberal_party The only bending that is going to happen will be bending over. And it'll be Canadians doing it just before we all get spitroasted by both US and CCP after a decade of intentionally corrupt and destructive leadership by the Liberals and backed by NDP. Shameful.
@theJagmeetSingh If you bring stats and actionable solutions to the debate I might respect you. But if you use the time to complain about the other parties then we’ll know it’s just another distraction.
@theJagmeetSingh Canada was fine before the Liberal, NDP coalition. Because you were too busy focusing on intangible things, and forgot about Canadian’s basic needs.
@theJagmeetSingh You were in a coalition with the Liberals and you didn’t shittalk them, then it’s your failure too for not realizing Canada’s priorities.
@theJagmeetSingh Hey Jagmeet, why don’t you single out his donors on social then? If his donors are really working against Canada’s interests, aren’t you complicit in their corruption by not singling them out by name?
In this case… Really you’re just as bad as him, just complaining more.
