imagine spending nine figures training a model to learn that the sound has to match the impact. my 8-month-old figured that out by dropping a spoon on the floor twice.

"One-shot learning" is still part of the discipline, actively studied (definitely in the past and surely in the present).

The fact that people keep developing this technology shows that the true problem is not that machines are likely to become intelligent, but that people have already become machines - unthinking and without any care to the future whatsoever.

Show it, don't just say it. The argument would be?

Flux 2 Dev Klein has practically been the best you could use on most commercial hardware so I really hope Flux 3 has a comparable updated open-weights model to it. if not it'd be a great loss to most hobbyists.

Open-weight plans are near the bottom (Launch section): - Video and audio generation and editing through APIs and private weight access. (“FLUX 3 Video”) - Action prediction through selected research and commercial partners, beginning with mimic robotics (“FLUX-mimic and FLUX 3 Action”) - Image synthesis and editing through APIs and private weight access. (“FLUX 3 Image”) - Open-weight access to a multimodal backbone…

- Showed close to zero examples of people. - Frivolous use of the term World Model. - Claims 20 seconds of video, shows only jumpcuts. Coming soon!

> Frivolous use of the term World Model The term "world model" as it was once used in model-based RL can now apparently refer to anything as silly as linear regression. Then again, the RL folks probably borrowed the term from behavioral scientists before them. It's probably best to simply accept this :/ A similar thing happened to "object oriented" which has been misused by philosophers and visual artists alike.

> probably borrowed the term from behavioral scientists

It's from epistemology. It is not there to refer to the subjective but to the objective.

For instance?

It's incredible how negative and dismissive the comments in here are while here I am thinking the model actually looks impressively capable. But then again I heard the downers have always been the first to leave their dung comments here so let's see...

It would be interesting to see some time-series sentiment analysis of HN. Subjectively it feels like there's much negativity on HN these days, I hope I'm wrong.

Depending on the members, there certainly is. Put aside the "dismissers", those who have a habit or a hormonal reliance to cast a "meh". Those who objectively assess according to the input that the development of facts provide may bend their "apparent mood" accordingly. This may be more evident here because in brighter times we may be more inclined to post and submit about more idle intellectual beauty ("complications in ancient clocks"), and in darker times it makes sense that we are more focused on the problems.

I honestly hope they put an unrealistic amount of wilhelm scream into the learning process, just for fun.
