Our work shows that adding geometric inductive biases in neural nets enables spatio-temporally consistent (hundreds of steps) object keypoints. This enables agents that play Atari games on a single machine with less than 100k steps + deeply explore hard envs without rewards.

Deep RL agents are data hungry and often learn task-specific representations. Our model learns object-centric abstractions from raw videos. This enables highly data-efficient RL and structured exploration.

dall-e2 from @OpenAI is not just an interesting AI tool. IMO its the most compelling demonstration of compositionality due to its multimodal nature. While we need a lot more for AGI (videos,3d,abstractions, behaviors etc), this is the first demo that pulls down my timeline of AGI

what causes these spikes while training diffusion (convs+attn) models (sometimes)? the results globally gets worse after the spike but the optimizer quickly bounces back and improves. interestingly the bounce back is very quick so is this some phase transition in the weights?

Inverse Pixar has been a long standing dream. I am incredibly excited about this frontier, especially after Sora's release. It presents a radically new way to animate game-engine worlds - with multi-object interactions. It is the beginnings of a true 3D world simulator with…

We are excited to preview a breakthrough in 3D generative AI. Video models are incredible but do not directly allow for controllability and simulation. We are closing this gap by predicting 4D meshes from video inputs. Join the waitlist at to receive…

@ylecun Agree with your sentiment but it also felt too polarizing as a grad student. Non symbolic theories were not taken as intellectually seriously as other ones. I remember suffering through silly/unnecessary social wrath when I got overjoyed after seeing the results of AlexNet in my…

While tracing the history of where RL algorithms originated, I came across this seminal paper again from 1960 -- . Footnote 18 starts to vaguely introduce the idea of temporal difference learning.

Image to 3D (Unity) worlds is going to rapidly accelerate in the coming weeks. More broadly this is going to revive Deep RL research. Generating realistic+infinite 3D environments was the key bottleneck in its way.

画像→3Dモデル生成AIのCSM( @CSM_ai )で作ったオブジェクトでゲームステージ作り Midjourney→CSM→Unity(stable diffusion for unity) のワークフローかなり良さそう 3D生成の待ち時間、生成クオリティなど粗は探せばいくらでもありますが、どんどん進化していく前提で考えるとめっちゃ未来が楽しみ

After this, if anyone still takes @ESYudkowsky seriously, then you should deeply question why. This guy is using an ultra dangerous narrative and has some deep psychological issues to work through.

@RichardMCNgo I don't think this is a misunderstanding. If you say, "The people who are building AI are going to kill my children and your children, violence is acceptable and even necessary to shut this down," that is not. Goddamn. Okay.

Nice book from @maxsbennett tracing how intelligence may have emerged from DNA -> ribosomes -> proteins -> … evolution of neurons -> TD / back prop … -> simulation engines -> language/theory of mind etc — all from a reductionist point of view. Definitely worth a read. Thanks…
