Episode notes
World Models and AGI
- World models are gaining attention due to recent demos by World Labs and Google Genie 2.
- These models are significant for their potential impact on AGI development.
Limitations of Current LLMs
- Current LLMs lack true understanding of the 3D world, limiting their abilities.
- They excel at prediction within their dimensions (text or image/video), but struggle with real-world tasks.
Importance of World Models
- World models, representing mental models of world behavior, are crucial for complex tasks.
- They allow for predicting the effects of actions, enabling planning and reasoning.
