Everyone's talking about LLMs. The next frontier is world models. Here's what they are in 5 minutes 👇

Just tell me how much and I'll pay

[dar @radbackwards]

Turns out Gundam designers make for great humanoid designers

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@jonsouyang @yacineMTB good point!

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@SamuelBeek is all teloperation?

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@jonsouyang @yacineMTB isn't this called rice cooker?

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@ahadj0 very cool! good job. Seeing how low cost all these experiments are becoming is really exciting

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@annieqyang world model for factories

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@ZenoInMotion is this @microagi work?

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

What if the entire video world model bet is the wrong modality?
A single F1 car generates 1.1 million sensor data points per second, compare to very little images.

Are we sure we want to learn from the less informative representation?

[NVIDIA AI @NVIDIAAI]

@ArtificialAnlys Image-to-video generation is just as impressive.

Input image:
"Generate a 16:9 image from a dashcam view of a formula 1 racing event"

Video prompt:
"A high-speed racing event where a car navigates multiple winding turns"

🔊 Sound on - generated by Cosmos 3.

Engineering lost its aura when engineers stopped chewing cigarettes

[Xander Dunn @xanderai]

While I share Elon’s distaste for credentialism, I think he’s swung a bit far on the anti-researcher pendulum.

It is my experience you need researchers chewing on cigarettes, walking circles in the parking lot, lying on the floor staring at the ceiling, producing many ideas that don’t work, and making terrible engineering decisions, to find the novel borders of Truth.

One of RenTech’s earliest successful strategies didn’t make money until an entry level engineer came in and fixed a trivial mistake in the code. Necessary, but so too was the thousands of hours of cigarette chewing from mediocre engineers.

Having the right ideas >> beautifully engineering the wrong idea.

Beautifully engineering the wrong idea == lots of work with little displacement

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@olafwillocx @xanderai I think that considering spaceX, no science, is very stupid

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@leothecurious The only possibility is that the previous message was from the same llm and chat

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@HalenMattison maintenance is a good topic. I imagine humanoid robots in factories more on these operations, than assembly

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

I was going through some of my old projects and came across Cheemscity, a Duolingo for robotics set in a cyberpunk city, with Cheems as the pedestrians.

That was a wild idea.

For every comment, I'll spill a piece of the lore.

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@whxspope @10_X_eng @ForgisX It's an amazing topic. The more I go into factories the more I fall in love haha

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@10_X_eng @ForgisX we is me and other 14 people. I'm the CTO

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@CSProfKGD @oier_mees Damn, I should look in a new domain

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@leothecurious We already have per-domain rewards by default, they come from our own self-reflection on the outcome of an action / set of actions

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@kumxem My ancestors. Every Italian has an Avatar-like experience after leaving their parents’ house for the first time

[Riccardo Maggioni @rickymaggio02]

@yuxuank02 This is really the modern version of the industrial way to collect waypoints per task ahah
