It's remarkable, its not out of the bounds of the pattern of success that AI has had with math recently to the point that people should sound alarm bells. A lot of the weight this holds is the fact that it's an old problem and tha

I think the intention of this paper is to build some type of culture of "math generalists" that don't quite exist in today's academia. The thing is, is that a good half of the people in that paper were actually very prag

This part of the announcement holds no value besides maybe taking a shot at the Deepmind Co-Mathematician paper. Nearly every mathematical success they've achieved around the GPT 5.2 generation has been done with general (and even publ

There may be years of investigation as to how far you can generalize these methods. As to how central it is, it's a longstanding problem that Erdos loves to cite for that branch of math. The thing is is that it seems a lot of the effor

The accomplishment is cool. But all Erdos problems and other complicated mathematical problems they solved were accomplished with general-purpose models too. In fact for some of those problems, including bountied ones, they were public mode

It's a very complicated matter honestly. This is a new height that AI has reached, even though it follows the usual methods of success that it has had. What strikes me as unusual though is that they do make a point of saying things lik

I'm not sure your characterization of Tao is accurate lol. In that companion paper, only Gowers seems to extensively show no pragmatism in the implications of this accomplishment. Even the younger math experts in that paper were a lot

It still has some artifacts more often than not, they are a lot subtler in nature but they still come out, whether it's texture, proportion, lighting, or perspective. Now some things are easier to fix on second pass edits, some are not

They ran the tests themselves only on semi-private evals. Basically the same caveat as when o3 supposedly beat ARC1

The Gemini models and Eleven V3, and whatever internal audio model Sora 2 uses are about neck and neck in converging performance. They have some unexplainable flavor to them though. Especially Sora.

Yeah, proven by him exploring other routes alongside John Carmack. Carmack has stated that their research ventures have nothing to do with LLMs

It's the skin textures. It's the slightly better lipsyncing. Maybe it will be different when us normal users get it but so far the demos with Sam don't make him look waxy.

So far the true progress it has made is getting textures right close up. It still fudges how skin looks like the more it pans away from the characters.

Man, it's not like the wave of generative AI has showed us that these companies don't work with altruistic intentions and means.

This whole autonomous driving levels kinda muddies the waters. Some would argue this isn't full L4 even. But it is a self driving car in the places it offers its services.

Google does a good job with that too usually. Which makes their last two announcements (IMO success and Genie 3) being a bit light on details is somewhat surprising.

Training "high" points in voice inflection has been the priority, we've seen this in the 4o voice outputs and to some degree the Google NotebookLM podcast outputs. I would assume it's because they're trying to make

Lol and the Playstation was already in the public conscious as a product that a lot of people found easy to understand. With AI tools only being presented this way, I'm slowly becoming less surprised why the less informed public has a

Dude. Have you been paying attention to even the first Veo or even the first few iterations of Kling? They've HAD facial expressions that follow the prompt pretty well. You're being fooled by your own senses now because now you ca

I'm not underselling it. I'm reminding people who get swept up by headlines to actually use the products and be an objective judge of quality when it comes to these things. Because when you lose that objectivity, you start saying

I mean I'm gonna say this with the hype settling down. But it's pretty on par with visually Kling 2 and Veo 2, it happens to output sound pretty ok but having it be one general output along with the visuals is the gamechanger. Bey

I think what I genuinely have an issue with is that extrapolation ignores the finer details of research work being taken to understand the current issues that may affect the future goals of a technology. It basically just ignores the scienc

Yeah, no. That's not my point. Saying something will get better in /any/ amount isn't unreasonable. That's being positive towards innovation and it's harmless. That's not exactly what the modern tech consu

The thing about that recent rollout of self-driving trucks is they picked a stretch of road connecting Houston to another shipping point in a very straight line. And they bragged about 2000 "unassisted" miles on that stretch of ro

In the era of more software advancements, people have perceived the progress of tech to be incremental more than the opposite. I think even tech bigwigs of the past have said extrapolation is a futile endeavor because technology is unpredic

I generally think that Kling or even Runway has achieved the visual fidelity of Veo (flaws and all, physics problems and direction of action and such), but now people are basically experiencing sensory bias where they think that some things

We're discussing the implications of this here when this has presented nothing novel in this medium/genre? I gave it a shot and it still has the same pitfalls for video genAI. Dealing with chains of dynamic actions is the biggest
