Peebles: Sora will evolve into interactive world simulators with autonomous humans
“And so looking forward, as we continue to scale up models like Sora, we think we're going to be able to build these, like, world simulators, where essentially, you know, anybody can interact with them. I, as a human, can have my own simulator running, and I ca…”
Peebles: Video models will eventually surpass humans as physical world models
“We're optimistic that Sora will, you know, supersede that kind of capability and will, you know, in the long run enable it to be More intelligent one day than humans as world models.”
Peebles: Training AI on raw video is essential for robotics
“There's so much you learn from video, which you don't necessarily get from other modalities, which companies like OpenAI have invested a lot in the past, like language, you know, like the minutia of like how arms and joints move through space, you know, again,…”
Peebles: Training on raw video is essential for future embodied robotics
“So you learn so much about the physical world just from training on raw video that we really believe that it's going to be essential for
things like physical embodiment moving forward.”
