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…

Totally unrelated, but what would you say the feasibility of writing simulation software for simulation of/replicating body movements during/in a martial arts technique would be? I’ve often thought it would be very handy to have a proper simulator for being able to simulate and identify inefficiencies in one’s technique, but no idea whether it would be feasible to do.

I think modelling accurate articulated body dynamics is feasible but when you add deformation (muscles) it gets much harder.

It's funny how they specifically use the phrase "output that follows real-world physics" to describe the marble rolling video. At the end of the zigzag track, the marble jumps up for no reason. In a couple of other places it speeds up with no apparent energy source. It's still an amazing result, but they could have picked a better example for this claim!

For a few weeks, YouTube thought I wanted to see videos of package thieves being surprised by a booby-trapped box that was actually a glitter bomb. Video after video were these AI created shorts of supposed doorbell camera footage showing a thief running away with a box that explodes into a giant pink cloud. I eventually picked one and opened the comments and the top comment was something like "This is obviously an A…

> and the reply was along the lines of "me because I like seeing thieves get what's coming to them". I really wish a subject matter expert would pitch in to tell us what this is about? like a totally made up thing that is fake, somehow gives a sense of justice and satisfaction? is it something about imagining it happening in reality, or what? for me, if I see that something is AI, it's like I just feel nothing. becau…

As in any form of fiction?

I think the opposite. It allows more people to be creative. Similar to how the DAW allowed more people to become musicians. You can produce a hit song with just a laptop now. Now you can have people producing videos without needing a crew of people.

The potential for harm is so much greater with video than creating an mp3. You can stoke hate and fear so easily.

Or the opposite? all tools are dangerous…

Some serious clipping

Interestingly the `o` in GPT-o4 stood for Omni too (which I never realized until yesterday when reading random 3rd party documentation)

The people that think this output looks good are the same people that "don't get" art.

From a technical perspective, it's very impressive, no doubt. But from an artistic perspective I thought all of these examples on the site look bad.

I have not used Gemini in a month.
