“I think what really excites me is you can use the same kind of AI model to make a movie and deploy that as a brain on a robot.”

Rombach: Pre-training AI models on video gives implicit understanding of physics
“Pre-training on videos gives, like, implicit understanding of the physics of interactions with the real world, and then you can get stuff like action prediction, like robotics out of the same model.”

“But I think ultimately. Like the real interesting use cases, they come when you have like a human in the loop who iterates and uses it as a medium.”
