Twitter predictions by invested people should be taken with a grain of salt.

(1) NVIDIA Isaac can simulate reality at 1000x faster than real-time. The incoming data stream scales as compute scales. What does this mean? Sounds like frantic bullshit

ChatGPT is a low quality intense marketing product. Are they sure they dont want to do better?
- iseanstevens 3y ago
  ChatGPT fails due to lack of easy confirmation of correctness. Most physical world thiigs have immediate feedback of incorrectness. Bumping into something unexpectedly or falling over could be a built in way for models to self improve. Self driving cars go WAY too fast for our current level of processing/sensors. All IMHO.

    > Most physical world thiigs have immediate feedback of incorrectness. We might not want it to enter such circumstances where there is such feedback - e.g. car has run over a child. We generally aren’t interested in what the AI does in response to such feedback as such feedback should never ever occur.

> Insane amounts of progress on robust hardware: Tesla Optimus He lost me at this one. Tesla will need a lot more public verifiable proof of progress to look past the "guy in a spandex suit" thing...

  Yeah 100% the initial announcement of Optimus was waaay to early, typical Elon bullshit to generate hype. But it is a real thing they are working on, and they have come a long way (considering they came from a guy in a spandex suit...) Watch their latest update: https://youtu.be/D2vj0WcvH5c https://youtu.be/D2vj0WcvH5c

    That video screams CGI... that's why I said we need public and verifiable proof.

Would be more convincing coming from someone working at Boston Dynamics.

I believe "Nvidia AI Lead" isn't accurate (and unnecessary here). Author seems to have been working for only about 2 years since their PhD. While that shouldn't mean their opinion should be disregarded, it undermines the appeal to authority that is implied in the title.

  His Twitter bio says he is the lead of Nvidia AI Agents. I guess that makes him an AI lead, but not the AI lead.

  it reads as "buy NVDA stock", a person working for nvidia trying to hype it as much as possible

What does "Nvidia AI Lead" even mean? BTW the post looks like generated by ChatGPT.
