Instead of building top bottom with SGD. This new models start from bottom up, build the images composing them piece by piece.. they show an example of a skull, and explaining how step by step, representation emerge locking one piece at the time. This is a 15 min summary of the full episode.

Demis Hassabis and Lex discuss how AI is modeling complex patterns in nature, the path toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the societal impact of rapid technological change. The conversation covers breakthroughs like AlphaFold, the future of video games, the importance of creativity and research "taste," and the philosophical questions surrounding consciousness and human purpose. Hassabis emphasizes the need for responsible AI development, collaboration, and ensuring that the benefits of these technologies are shared widely.

MLST interview with the DeepMind Genie 3 team, a general purpose world model that can generate an unprecedented diversity of interactive environments, can create and remember the world details, and it has emergent rules, like parallax. Video games and virtual reality are about to have their GPT moment. It's a real time model that can render at 30fps and 720p and it can render the world for several minutes.

The theory that your thoughts were never yours.. in other words, language is an entity with its own evolution that is injected in our brain, and likely there are other parallel entity (or programs) running in our biology. Does the brain works just like an LLM?
