What's sad to me is that we have all this awesome technology, but movies are worse than ever.
I usually watch movies from decades ago just to find something decent and it's amazing how with goofy-looking puppets the storytelling was 1000 times better.
This is probably an unrelated rant, sorry

Ok the phrasing here, it’s, it’s just - > However, compared to more specialized approaches for representation learning they produce less disentangled representations, which puts a ceiling on their usefulness for tasks that require world understanding. Only an LLM would use a less disentangled representation of the concept “more entangled” when trying to explain to people in the real world why less disentangled repres…

Survivorship bias, possible that you just aren’t watching all the shitty ones that nobody remembers.
Really interesting. Upshot: a well trained multimodal video generation model has a world representation model trained inside it. They’ve done some work lifting this world model out and deploying it to robots, where it seems to work well. On the one hand, this isn’t a new idea, and the quality video models certainly have understanding of materials, light, the world (at least in an Occam’s razor sense of understanding)…

Maybe I just don't like the style. All the over explaining, etc.

That's exactly the ones I like! On Saturdays I watch cheesy horror movies from the 80s. But with my GF I watch whatever is rated >= 8 on Imdb and the 8s from years ago are ALWAYS much, much better than the recent ones. Maybe I just don't like the style. All the over explaining, etc.
