We put a man on the moon with 1960's computing technology. This is just some string manipulation

Getting logic-based AI to work is largely the same now as it always was. Classic AI was not data-driven so you didn't need terabytes of training data. The big AI winter happened as early as 1984, *after* the big hype about neural networks for solving problems died down.

That winter slowly ended as people realized that there are still all sorts of applications for even the most limited AI (such as the dumber "big data" statistics based ones that are popular today, and that are hungry for as much high-speed input from the internet as they can process). That sort of AI was succeeding in an increasing amount of niche areas, towards ubiquity, and now there's the whole internet full of new opportunities to use it and show it off. There was nowhere for pretty generated images and Gaston lyrics to go where they'd have been quite as appreciated in the 1970's, versus now with twitter. The big difference that you see today is not that there's some giant body of new research everyone knows all about, or some massive code library that took decades for researchers to build up that you now can't build a product without, or even modern computer speeds -- mostly it's the suddenly increased domain of problems being tried.

Also if you want more information about TALESPIN in particular, you can just Google any of the excerpts I quoted above to get full articles. Mostly old ones, so .pdfs without highlightable text.

A robot that dreams about doom, then plays in the dream levels, then uses what it learns from its dreams to inform real doom playing

quote:

For instance, in our initial experiments, we noticed that our agent discovered an adversarial policy to move around in such a way so that the monsters in this virtual environment governed by the M model never shoots a single fireball in some rollouts. Even when there are signs of a fireball forming, the agent will move in a way to extinguish the fireballs magically as if it has superpowers in the environment.

Because our world model is only an approximate probabilistic model of the environment, it will occasionally generate trajectories that do not follow the laws governing the actual environment. As we saw previously, even the number of monsters on the other side of the room in the actual environment is not exactly reproduced by the world model. Like a child who learns that objects in the air usually fall to the ground, the child might also imagine unrealistic superheroes who fly across the sky. For this reason, our world model will be exploitable by the controller, even if in the actual environment such exploits do not exist.

Extremely cool but also scary: recording a video of people dancing/moving, then generating a new video where they appear to be doing completely different dance moves based on poses detected on a source video. That was very hard to put into words. Anyway:

E: tbh, there are several parallels that could be drawn between this and that cool car video.

I've been making a game that requires an unlimited amount of terrain to blow up and set on fire, and I've found the process of writing terrain generation code to be oddly relaxing and engrossing, kinda like making pottery. Here's it panning over some random terrain for 10 minutes.

How soon until this can be done real time?

How soon until you can play retro N64 and PSX games while viewing them through an intermediate ML "filter," that turns all the lovely low-poly models into finely painted and delicately re-shaped objects from the statistically nearest matching photorealistic scene?

You run into the city and find Zoll's car parked outside the GZS Alliance Headquarters.
You rush inside and quickly get in the elevator. As you ascend, you realize
that you aren't really feeling very well
> look at myself

You feel weak and tired. You try to stand up, but your legs won't move. You fall
back onto the seat and then you pass out. When you wake up, you're in a hospital
bed. A nurse stands behind you and asks why you're in such a hurry
> say "I need to find a scientist named Zoll."

She nods and says "Yes, I understand. Please let me call Dr. Wu and he'll send
someone to pick you up right away".
> wait

You wait patiently for Dr. Wu to arrive. Finally, he arrives and sits down beside
you. He tells you that he's been sending people to retrieve you every few days,
but he hasn't heard anything from Zoll. He thinks that maybe he ran off or something
> say "Every few days? How long was I unconcious?"

He looks puzzled and says "How long were you unconscious? Well, I guess you weren't
conscious when the elevator doors opened. I assume you must've already gone
to the Alliance HQ".
> say "That doesn't make sense."

He sighs and says
> say "None of this makes sense. Wait a minute..."

He frowns and says
> wake up in the elevator

You slowly open your eyes and see Dr. Wu standing next to you. He says "So...you're
alive. That's good, isn't it?"
> say "Am I dreaming?"

He looks surprised and says "Of course you're dreaming. Why else would you be
here?"
> say "How can I wake up?"

He looks surprised and says "How can you wake up? You're dead!".
YOU DIED. GAME OVER

quote:

You leave Quayle in the village and go to the capital. You meet up with Sir Theo
and his friends and they tell you that they found Sir Theo in the city.
> say "Sir Theo, where have you been? I killed the wizard, but had I failed, an innocent boy would have fallen into his grasp!"

Sir Theo shakes his head
> say "You are a coward, Sir Theo! You are unworthy of your title!"

Sir Theo looks shocked "Really?!?"
> say "You are no knight. And I am not your squire."

Sir Theo's eyes widen and he stutters "Oh...you mean..".
> say "Yes, Theo. Goodbye."

Sir Theo turns and walks away. You stand there looking at him for a moment and
then walk off.
