I also have this mostly when I'm half asleep and have had some very 4K sharp lucid dreams as well, including seeing leaves on a tree up close and feeling the texture. Under normal circumstances, my imagination is also colorless and is

My gut feel is that people's experiences can be quite different. V.S. Ramachandran's books have nudged me to take these things more seriously. I think visual imagination is also related to spatial rotation abilities. For example c

People are tired of being forced to do bullshit meaningless or net negative stuff, obey people they don't respect on a deeper level etc. People live in a way like captive animals in a zoo. Everything is urgent, the sky is falling, but

Seems like an unrelated (maybe even opposite direction) complaint. Plenty of autists are obsessed with programming and technology.

Online people have this redditism that it's some American weirdness that people "live to work", while in Europe people "work to live" and stretch this too far. People (especially men) throughout the ages and regions

I'm not sure we are built for this on a societal scale. I understand the reasoning rationally. Sure, nobody pitied the horseshoe-maker blacksmith who was proud of his craft when the car was invented. Or the tailors when clothing became

The built environment fits the human form factor well. Imitation learning and intuitive teleoperation is also easier. But it won't be the only form factor. The quadruped form (like Spot) is also popular, as well as drones etc.

Exactly. Pushing a photo through a Van Gogh filter doesn't get near what a real Van Gogh expresses. It's in a temporal context, communicates something about the person and their thoughts about reality. Their artistic choices matte

The point is that video generation is not the goal in itself. Just like classifying photos as cat vs dog wasn't the goal in 2013. I know that Sora 2 is not a world model. But what's coming is: Vision-language-action models and pla

A lot of realslop is fake too. As in staged but pretended as real for rage bait or annoyance bait. Or stupid shaggy dog story videos, where it seems like the thing will happen any moment now and then nothing happens. One recent disillusionm

This is not the final target. It's video generation now, but that's just a stepping stone. The real thing is that learning a generator is also learning a prior over videos, and hence over how the world works. The real application

It gets specialized after that. You need to be more specific about the area you are interested in. Computer vision is a very broad field. For newer topics, there are often no textbooks yet because it takes time to write books and the method

I would imagine there is more recent ballooning in AI topics, which was the focus of the article. Based on the growth of the flagship conferences it's quite evident that it's not just exponentially more frequent paper submissions

Copyright is not "ownership of numbers". "Intellectual property" is a misnomer. Copyright is an instrumental tool to achieve specific socially desirable things, namely the flourishing of scientific and artistic activity.

Exactly, it's a common failure mode for math/programming-minded people when encountering the law. But the law is not like a compiler, mechanically following some fully-specified set of rules. The legal system is rather the spiritu

That's a very economics-minded approach. Also, I'm not quite sure what the futures would be about. That a paper will... get N citations? get a job for the first author? Achieve N stars on GitHub? N likes on social media? Be patent
