NVIDIA Omniverse: Virtual Worlds Come Alive!

But it is of no interest unless it emulates the real world, so it doesn't actually contribute or create anything!

[paul cotter]

Just think of it Alan, virtual beer, virtual sex, virtual aeronautics(without cardiac limitations) and virtual-can't remember your other joie de vivre . You would be like a pig in sh#@.

NVIDIA Omniverse: Virtual Worlds Come Alive!

But it is of no interest unless it emulates the real world, so it doesn't actually contribute or create anything!

How much money was spent in movie industry annually?
Google Bard answer this.
Here is a table of the global film and TV content spending from 2018 to 2023, according to Statista:

Year   Spending (USD)
2018   198.9 billion
2019   209.2 billion
2020   220.2 billion
2021   224 billion
2022   238 billion
2023   240 billion

When the word movie is replaced by movie-making, the answer is, among other points:
The average budget for a Hollywood movie in 2021 was \$76 million.

The Virtual Worlds can reduce that cost significantly.

Virtual aeronautics, yes. I've learned a lot in simulators. But the point of aeronautics is either to get from real A to real B quickly, or (with a glider) from real A to real A by the longest possible route, using real sun and wind to stay airborne. Problem with sims is you either set up "infinite fuel" to perfect your approaches, or "every disaster at once", which has seriously demoralised a few trainee airline pilots. A controlled dose of sim is very useful, but only to improve your performance in the real thing.

The whole point of boozing, shagging  and playing jazz is to get physical and do it yourself, not to listen to a machine saying "ooh" every few minutes. 

[paul cotter]

Ah yes, jazz, that's the one I could not remember. I am, as i'm sure you know, being utterly facetious.

[alancalverd]

Many a true word spoken in jest, my friend. I fear that the next generation, raised on alcohol-free beer, decaf coffee, plantburgers, 24/7 celebrity porn bakeoff, Alexa's algorithmically selected synthesised noise, and an ecofascist ban on aviation, may well resort to artificial "oohs" instead of doing something and enjoying it.

Demonetization of resources is coming to information processing services, including decision makings, which is what highly paid executives and politicians do. IMO, the inequality will spike up for a moment, but then back down when AI models are capable of reliably making better decisions than the best human individuals.

By extrapolating these advancements, we can see the demonetization in information processing services. Main product of movie making and book writing are information. When movie directors can convert their thoughts into movies directly without the helps from actors, visual effect artists and engineers, costume designers, props builders, editors, etc, the cost of a movie can be greatly reduced. In the end, everyone will be able to make their own movies by simply imagining them, and then distribute/share them with anyone.

Musk FSD V12 Livestream: NOTHING BUT NETS--All The Way Down!

Elon Musk finally did it: he did a livestream of him driving his Tesla Model S using FSD Version 12! Not only was the drive amazing but his chat with Ashok Elluswamy, head of Tesla's AI team, was incredibly enlightening! The talked about end-to-end neural networks, not needing cellular connectivity, no need for labeling, and much more!

What Happened To YouTube?

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm and it?s no different with YouTube as we?ve seen a massive influx of AI-generated content. Unfortunately, much of this content isn?t that great and is very much comparable to the content put out by content farms. From the days of top 10 videos to Bright Side, we?ve seen several content farm empires rise and fall and it seems like AI content farm is the latest addition to this list. The main reason for this doesn?t even seem to be an opportunity but rather YouTube gurus brainwashing aspiring creators into buying their courses and starting automated channels. While it is possible to make money from an automated YouTube channel, it?s not much different from starting a dropshipping business or trying to trade stocks. The probability of success is simply extraordinarily low for most creators. Moreover, viewers come to YouTube for relatability and authenticity which AI content unquestionably lacks. So, it?s just a matter of time until completely AI content gets left behind by creative AI content from passionate creators. This video explains the history of content farms and the current state of AI YouTube.

AGI Will Not Be A Chatbot - Autonomy, Acceleration, and Arguments Behind the Scenes

AGI will be so much more than a clever chatbot. Revelations this week from Demis Hassabis, Mustafa Suleyman, Wired, Time Magazine and more paint a picture of the capabilities that AGI will have, and sketch out a better idea of timelines. I cover it all, from Gemini updates, to Musk trying to stop DeepMind sale to Google, The Coming Wave to the Frontier AI Taskforce.

Our time is running out for global agreement on the universal terminal goal, universal moral compass/standard to solve goals alignment to be applied by the eventual AGI systems.

[alancalverd]

There can be no UTG. Goals are determined by humans, who never agree on anything.

How ?Digital Twins? Could Help Us Predict the Future | Karen Willcox | TED

From health-tracking wearables to smartphones and beyond, data collection and computer modeling have become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. Advancements in these areas have given birth to "digital twins," or virtual models that evolve alongside real-world data. Aerospace engineer Karen Willcox explores the incredible possibilities these systems offer across engineering, climate studies and medicine, sharing how they could lead to personalized medicine, better decision-making and more.

How evolution creates problem-solving machines

Esteemed biologist Michael Levin explores a captivating biological perspective of evolution ? one that?s hard for engineers to come to terms with. In their work, making random changes to a system usually makes things worse, not better.

But evolution, on the other hand, doesn't just produce specific solutions to specific challenges; instead, it creates what Levin calls "problem-solving machines." These machines are made up of hierarchical biological hardware with incredible adaptability, capable of tackling various challenges without assuming specific environmental conditions.

Contrary to commonly held ideas about evolution, it doesn't just search for the best possible physical characteristics in organisms. It also uses signals and behaviors to shape how organisms function, so when things change or get damaged, the different parts of an organism can continue to function.  From metabolic to physiological dilemmas, Levin highlights evolution?s remarkable ability to adapt.

IMO, AGI and ASI will be the products of accelerated evolutionary process.

[alancalverd]

making random changes to a system usually makes things worse, not better.

But if you have long-term infinite resources, no time limit, and no particular objective, one thing might just work better than all the others, and in a short-term competitive environment it will thrive and dominate. Some chap called Darwin came up with this.
