AI News: OpenAI is up to something *new*

I think that automating video games is a huge step towards generally useful AI models. There's so many things you have to get right in order to play a game, particularly an open ended game, and plenty of those things have crossover with the real world in a variety of capacities. From things like object permanence to strategizing, to operating in an environment in an agentic way... These are all things that somebody is going to randomly figure out one day and go "oh, that's neat, I can automate X task I don't want to do in the game" only to fail to realize that "Oh, there's a related task in the real world that doesn't need to be done by people anymore".

The China "equitable" argument for access is a red herring for western journalists, for sure.

Automating complex games is fascinating because it is a herald to real industrial automation

The idea of a health coach is an interesting idea... but also imagine a personal assistant that is mostly helpful... but also designed to guide you in certain ways... just in minor ways that gradually guide you to the desired destination. For example, it guides to you do something just before lunch time, so that you end up buying lunch at a particular establishment. Or a model could be built to give different answers for a particular person - encouraging them to do risk taking behavior for example.

So we never getting GPTO voice ...
