It's going to replace video games.

Do people play video games to look at pretty scenery? No most people are testing skills in video games and this will not test skill for a while

They do both. Nobody played Cyberpunk 2077 for the riveting gameplay.

Actually that game felt a lot like these videos, because often you would turn around and then look back and the game had deleted the NPCs and generated new ones, etc.

> To that end, we're exploring how we can make Genie 3 available to additional testers in the future.

No need to explore; I can tell you how. Release the weights to the general public so that everyone can play with it and non-Google researchers can build their work upon it.

Of course this isn't going to happen because "safety". Even telling us how many parameters this model has is "unsafe".

First AI thing that’s made me feel a bit of derealization… …and this is the worst the capabilities will ever be. Watching the video created a glimmer of doubt that perhaps my current reality is a future version of myself, or some other consciousness, that’s living its life in an AI hallucinated environment.

Same, even worse that the world was generated on the fly—nobody even hand-crafted it. That makes it even more depressing.

I mean, Minecraft worlds are generated on the fly and they've unleashed quite a it of creativity in children

Advances in generative AI are making me progressively more and more depressive. Creativity is taken from us at exponential rate. And I don't buy argument from people who are saying they are excited to live in this age. I can get that if that technology stopped at current state and remained to be just tools for our creative endeavours, but it doesn't seem to be an endgame here. Instead it aims to be a complete replace…

Automation only leads to more labor if we allow that employer relation to dictate so. Automation affords leisure time (for everything besides labor that life has to offer, including optional labor-like pursuits) but it’s currently unevenly distributed who gets to benefit from that

Is it actually unbelievable? It's basically what every major AI lab head is saying from the start. It's the peanut gallery that keeps saying they are lying to get funding.

It's akin to us sending a rocket to space and immediately discovering a wormhole. Sure, there's a lot of science about what's out there, but to discover all this in our first few trips to orbit ...

Joscha Bach postulates that what we call consciousness must be something rather simple, an emergent property present in all sufficiently complex biological organisms.

We don't inherit any software, so cognitive function must bootstrap itself from it's underlying structure alone.

I see two ways this is going to go:

1. Universal Basic Income as we're on the way to a post-scarcity society. Unlikely to actually happen due to greed.

2. We take inspiration from the french revolution and then return to a simpler time.

All I know is I am investing into suicide booth startups

So that the robots have a leisure activity, or so that humans get a quick escape in the face of runaway climate change?
