I'm still struggling to imagine a world where predicting the next pixel wins over over building a deterministic thing that is then ran. Eg: Using AI to generate textures, wire models, motion sequences which themselves sum up to something that local graphics card can then render into a scene. I'm very much not an expert in this space, but to me it seems if you do that, then you can tweak the wire model, the texture, m…

Disconcerting that it's daydreaming rather than authoring?

In the future, everyone will have their own ai agents capable of generating music to their own tastes. They won't be using spotify. The future with AI is not going to be our current world with some parts replaced by AI. It will be a whole new way of life.
My prediction is that personal generation is going to be niche forever, for purely social reasons. The demand for fandoms and fan communities seems to be essentially unlimited. Big artists have big fandoms, tiny ones have tiny fandoms, but none of that works with personalized generations.
What does social mean in a future that could just simulate it.

I see two ways this is going to go: 1. Universal Basic Income as we're on the way to a post-scarcity society. Unlikely to actually happen due to greed. 2. We take inspiration from the french revolution and then return to a simpler time.
> Unlikely to actually happen due to greed. Greed makes no sense in a truly post scarcity society. There is no scarcity from which to take in a zero sum way from another. Status is the real issue. Humans use status to select sexually, and the display is both competitive and comparative. It doesnt matter absolutely how many pants you have, only that you have more and better than your competition. I actually think this…

You can have a million 'social' followers now, all posting on how your personally generated music is great, along with posting their faces and lives. What does social mean in a future that could just simulate it.

> Rockstar would be nerd-sniped on GTA6 by a world model I'm having trouble parsing your meaning here. GTA isn't really a "drive on the street simulator", is it? There is deliberate creative and artistic vision that makes the series so enjoyable to play even decades after release, despite the graphics quality becoming more dated every year by AAA standards. Are you saying someone would "vibe model" a GTAish clone wit…
Probably depends on how you engage with GTA. “Drive on the street simulator” along with arrays of weapons and explosions is the majority of my hours in GTA. I despise the creative and artistic vision of GTA online, but I’m clearly in a minority there gauging by how much money they’ve made off it.

Is it actually unbelievable? It's basically what every major AI lab head is saying from the start. It's the peanut gallery that keeps saying they are lying to get funding.
>It's basically what every major AI lab head is saying from the start. I suppose it depends what you count as "the start". The idea of AI as a real research project has been around since at least the 1950s. And I'm not a programmer or computer scientist, but I'm a philosophy nerd and I know debates about what computers can or can't do started around then. One side of the debate was that it awaited new conceptual and…
