I’d be curious to see how reliable it is in practice, it sounds like a cheap and (hopefully) easy benchmark

I fully agree with this quote, it really crystallized something i felt but couldn’t put into words.

I don’t think it’s a good analogy.

Having your fly open is a harmless mistake that has little impact on your peers. People may or may not mention it to you but it’s not something they’ll hold against you.

Posting LLM slop under your name is a deliberate act. You decide to damage your message by taking a shortcut.

The obvious analogy was speaking while chewing.

I don't think this is bad. I want tools that deliver what I envision. The fact that given the same input, I get similar output is something I would rather consider a positive. The imagination should come from the human at the wheel.

> he just read out something like "You're right to push back on this. If you'd like, I can reword this..." and didn't even flinch

Can you please provide sources for this? My understanding is that he used the expression "I appreciate the pushback" in a context in which it made sense (responding to criticism), and people flagged that it sounded LLM-like.

There’s some poetry seeing people complaining about how LLM provide unreliable information in a confident tone, who then go on to share incorrect information in a confident tone.

I don’t see how this market ("mostly" AI-written books) won’t get arbitraged to death with the cheaper and open-weight models that keep coming out

Damn the pelican guy can’t get no sleep

> xAI is renting out their DC space. I think I read that Google is, too.

You’re probably thinking of Meta. Google renting GPUs is a less recent phenomenon, to say the least.

From HF:

> The practical lesson for defenders: have a capable model you can run on your own infrastructure vetted and ready before an incident, both to avoid guardrail lockout and to keep attacker data and credentials from leaving your environment.

This sounds like a reasonable measure. Any recommendations regarding the most suitable models for this? GLM? Kimi?

How is what you describe "YC-ish"?

Playing backward is actually a great idea for testing generalization

Would be a great idea to see how much we could manipulate the latent space and whether it has some internal structure w.r.t the physical state. I guess the only unknown is how the world model would show robustness to latent states that are transformed through this network

Hey all, happy to see this here! This was a colab between General Intuition (that I’m part of), Kyutai and Epic Games.

You can read plenty of details in the blog post and tech report but the TLDR is that we trained a multiplayer world model on 10k hours of Rocket League data. We optimized it to be playable at 20fps on a single GPU.

So what you see in the demo is fully generated: there’s no graphics or physics engine. Instead it’s a 5b neural network that takes actions in and gives pixels out.

We're happy to release MIRA, a collaboration between General Intuition, Kyutai, and Epic Games.

Mira was trained on 10k hours of Rocket League data. The model has 5B parameters and runs 4-player games at 20 fps on a single B200 GPU.

We've released a playable online demo, an in-depth technical report as well as a 1k hour dataset of 4-players gameplay:

The checkpoint also weights half less than the game install! ;-)

This sounds like a strong statement with little backing. The author does infra at DeepSeek if his LinkedIn is to be trusted, and is the author of Foyer.

This is exactly what i would have needed 6 months ago

I have mixed feelings (as in, I'm unsure how to feel) about projects where the code, the README and the HN/Reddit posts are mostly AI-generated.

I feel the frustration of reading "slop", but on the other hand the projects that surface do usually bring something useful to the table.

Should we simply judge the submission based on its technical merit? Why do I feel annoyed that an otherwise cool project uses typical LLM prose? For how long will we be able to recognize LLM-generated text, and what happens when we can't?

and so does OpenAI

Clearly they need more datacenters!

So yeah, focusing on world models

This has a simple pragmatic solution though:

Are you saying Carmack isn't a "talented and successful developer"?

Why would a game development pedigree correlate with rejecting AI? As Carmack said:

> AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics.

> Have you ever noticed that the food graphics in Super Smash Bros. and Kirby Air Riders is flat “billboarded” stock images of food?

I have not... A video showing what it's talking about would have been a good addition to this article.

Is there a reliable service that plots hourly price per GPU per cloud through time?

Just so you know, this is already very much a thing on TikTok: AI-generated movie summaries with narrator voice explaining the plot while showing only major beats, reducing movie from 2h to shorts totaling 10min.

It’s honestly not the worse AI content out there! Lots of movies I wouldn’t consider watching but that I’m curious enough to see summarized (eg a movie where only the first title was good but two more were still published)

Exactly - best case scenario is Reddit/HN front page with a cool project you enjoyed working on, have some nice conversations there, reach a few 100s stars which look good on your CV, and that’s it.

If you expect more long term support you better be paying me for my time.

Surprising to simultaneously announce the end of the road yet point to the road ahead
