Guess what... Old Friend is finally on Quest! meta.com/en-gb/experiences/o… Do you have a Quest? Perhaps you'd like to download and enjoy it! Or tell your friends who have a Quest. Or just bask in the knowledge that it's there in case you want it.

There's a lot of speculation about whether OpenAI's video generation model Sora has a 'physics engine' (bolstered by OAI's own claims about 'world simulation'). Like the debate about world models in LLMs, this question is both genuinely interesting and somewhat ill-defined. 🧵1/

When you talk to young folks, they think that the belief in imminent AGI was caused by the rise of LLMs. In reality, this belief is axiomatic and long predates LLMs. DeepMind, Vicarious were founded in 2010 based on this belief. OpenAI in 2015. Interest in LLMs only began in 2019. In 2015, when deep learning was in its infancy and LLMs were years away, many folks were just as convinced that AGI was around the corner as they are today. The only thing that changed is that people are now anchoring these beliefs on LLMs, whereas in 2015 they were looking to Deep RL, LSTMs, and Neural Turing Machines.

I asked a google engineer what it would take to build GPT-4 today. I will never forget his answer: "We can’t, we don’t know how to do it."

I am totally heartbroken that I have sunk so much time into a product like #Unity3d that is so incredibly hostile to their developers. Like everyone else with sense, it's time to move on to a new platform. Goodbye Unity.
