In my day job I program rigid body behaviour in real time amongst other simulations. I think rigid body contact is hard to learn as it is inherently discontinuous.. something you discover when trying to code a solver. As such I always use this prompt as a test: "A video of a jenga brick tower falling over as a brick is removed. The physics of each brick must be realistic." It gave me a video of where bricks suddenly…

I wonder what's the training data that makes it generate the final "explosion"...

A little too much Michael Bay

Does anyone else feel like Google is just always a dollar short and a day late here? Maybe not a dollar short, but it's like they've consistently been focused on the wrong thing. First they missed chatbots, now they're missing coding agents while they double down on chatbots and video gen (which OpenAI has already basically abandoned). Maybe this strategy is actually genius and I'm too stupid to grasp it.

Project Hail Mary was largely real sets and a puppet .

Was it? Hollywood has been caught lying about that to seem more authentic before. https://www.redsharknews.com/why-do-movies-still-insist-ther...

There are tons of behind the scenes pictures and video of the Rocky puppet being used on set, and Andy Weir talks in interviews about how almost no CG was used to enhance the puppet. I guess it's possible to fake all that, but it's a lot of lie to cover up.

Even weirder: > Prompt: A skeuomorphism stop motion explainer about how the brain hippocampus works with a compelling voiceover. Don’t add seahorses. No voice cuts at the end. Don’t add text Seahorses???

The genus of the seahorse is _Hippocampus_.

And the fact that a transformer model can't distinguish between the two in the context of the sentence given is a point against the general nature of the intelligence.

I think Hollywood is in for a rough era. The disruption is happening at break neck speeds.

At the moment the duration of each shot is a major limitation. When that limitation gets solved is when we'll see actual disruption.

Average shot length is down to something like 3 seconds in modern cinema. That's a pretty low bar.

Yeah, during most blockbuster movies lately all I can think is: "All pixels, no plot."

Project Hail Mary was largely real sets and a puppet .

Did they film on location, tho?

you would watch a movie generated with the sterility of an LLM?

Weirdly phrased, but yes, I would watch a movie generated with an LLM by a person passionate about the movie they're creating.

They used a puppet to play Rocky? Was not sure how they did it, don’t think I would really care, but that’s cool.

They used a puppet on-set for in-camera reference but most of what you saw on-screen in most shots was CGI. I wrote more here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48198851
