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.

Nano Banana Pro is still the industry standard as far as I’m concerned. I think giving a vision model spatial awareness is the next evolutionary step here, so I don’t think they’re behind at all.

Yes, each data center uses an entire lake of water. The hysterics are pretty sad and baseless. Have you ever considered that the solution to not having enough power is to generate more power, not curtail progress? All of these data center should come with their own solar panel arrays and battery packs. Who knows with enough need they might each come with their own small nuclear reactor.

Then, if the Ai bubble is truly a bubble, the giant compute warehouses can be transitioned to power plants and used to store Amazon junk for delivery instead. Wonder what the economic wonkiness looks like when energy is that abundant.

Anyone that has at least somewhat been following the space knows that this is not a bubble. Once we get to the point where these things can reliably come up with novel actions for physical robots, it’s game over. In fact, Unitree just released a video today where someone asks the robot to do something and it generates a new output action in real time. We’re very close.

At the bottom there is a "Try in Youtube Shorts" button. Oh god...

Pure artificial stupidity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRJH7HKuD2Y

your videos and links re: nuts services are very cool. Is that something you're working on with others? What's the best way to keep on top of that?

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'm not sure why, especially because you're a developer... But damn, the amount of people that expect AI to just one shot stuff is hilarious. Half of the time I make a typo or something, should I be laughed out of the room?

What's the end goal of video generation? It feels unnecessary. Text generation leads to AI that can replace workers. Video generation is bad and only for video content generation, like movie and tv show production?

It ruined the whole category of "cute animals acting goofy" content for sure.

Yeah, I'm kinda sad about that one. Most of my friends and family are aware many of these are fake now, but argue that it still invokes the same response in us so it's okay. For me, though, however intangible or irrational it may be, I do feel a sense of loss. Funny enough, this is actually one of the few things which has bothered me with the AI boom, and I'm mostly pro-acceleration. A lot of what's happening seems i…

In addition, even knowing it's not real, I feel like I can't appreciate it as much as I did (or would've) a well-made clip that I knew was CGI.

The legal risk probably lies solely with those who are selling the properties. They are responsible if the video misrepresents anything.

yeah, it's all about keeping everything grounded in reality.

You are misleading people. I think this is disgraceful.

Please grow a spine.
