Physics simulation compute complexity scales rapidly with agents, freedoms, and information
“The compute complexity of simulation goes up really, really rapidly with three variables. First, the numbers of agents in an environment. Second they're DOF. So they're individuals of freedom. Yeah. And then third, the information that each action reveals.”

General Intuition is betting maximally on video-to-action transfer over physics simulation
“And so I think for us, it is more so about making a maximal bet on video transfer and interacting with things that are difficult to simulate. And the steerability is also really interesting with text than it is on betting against simulation or something like t…”

Lead researchers from the GAIA-2 and DIAMOND papers joined General Intuition
“Anthony Tu, who led the research on Gaia II is, is also one of the engineers that joined our team. So it's all the Diamond the core contributors for Diamond, and then Anthony and we just had three more researchers joining this week.”

Text and language function fundamentally as compression methods for 3D perception
“The way I think about it is, at Siemens, right, we had sort of a three-dimensional world, then we invented text. As like a, in a way, a compression method, right? So you had, we invented text in order to communicate with each other in a common way, in a way th…”

Gameplay footage teaches spatial reasoning better than YouTube videos, says de Witte
“When you're playing video games, you're actually simulating the optical dynamics with your hand, right? And I think that, like, that's why I think why games are a better representation of switch support reasoning initially than YouTube videos, for instance.”

Medal successfully bootstrapped its social network by prioritizing single-player capture tools
“A lot of our competitors were focused on solving the social network and the recorder at the same time, and that never, like, our bet was really that we could get so many people to record with us that we could bootstrap the network on top of that, and that work…”
