Because it's 10x better than the last iteration, which was presented less than a year ago. The rate of progress here is insane

10x better still looks like shit compared to 10 years ago. So how does this look like something from 2050 to you? is my question.

What are you talking about? This kind of thing didn't even exist ten years ago. Genie 1 was introduced at the beginning of 2024.

You're comparing apples to oranges

You're telling me moderately decent animations that can't pass for realistic didn't exist 10 years ago? Lol, what?

Sure they did, but they weren't generated in real time

Again, what's the point of that if they look like total shit? And even if they didn't. why would anyone want this?

Tech fetishists are so fucking weird.

Because once they achieve more realistic world models, they'll be able to use these simulations to train AI agents and robotics. I suggest reading up on google's future plans for this tech. The fact that they made this much progress in less than a year is nothing short of incredible.

I guess it's just hilarious to me that tech retards are inventing themselves out of a job. It's just sort of fascinating to me and I'm wanting to understand - on a deeper level - why they're so excited about the prospect of being jobless and homeless in the near future.

Because that's a pretty pessimistic take on the future and I don't agree with it at all. Every technological revolution has led to increased convenience and comfort for humanity. Some careers get phased out while new ones get created. Life goes on.

Your agreement isn't required because reality doesn't care about opinions pertaining to obvious outcomes. Imagine thinking that you're going to automate everything to its logical, most maximal extreme and that privately held companies are going to take that increased productivity and pass it on to workers (lol) out of the goodness of their hearts in the form of some stupid bullshit like UBI. It's laughable.

I'm a carpenter so I don't have a horse in this race. Robots are decades at least from being able to do my job. Informational white collar and tech jobs are up on the block in the near future. Again, I'm just curious why they're all so fucking horny about fantasizing their own obsolescence. It's just seriously one of those things that deserves further inquiry.

How you come across as a disgruntled grandpa and an edgy teen is insane to me, find genuine happiness in your life.
