It's funny. The way deepmind is going about it, these AI agents are going to live in a total virtual world in which we then enter and participate. It's not clear that AI will actually immerse itself in the real world. While we find general uses for differently trained models, the whole robots being everywhere thing seems less likely than say a 3D metaverse we participate in using AR glasses so we can see these digital creatures. Could be totally wrong, could argue for the other case, it mostly doesn't matter. I just don't think our interactions with this technology will be physical.
- kyleyeats 4y agoIt's not gonna happen, Mark. Just drop it.
- Havoc 4y agoNot sure the distinction matters given how the two are blurring together. See digital twins etc.

In 2018, it could infer how a scene looks from any angle using a couple photos[2]. Now, it can perform inference tasks in a 3D scene. Going to the real world will require more work! But they will be helped by converging existing advances[3].
