Bible Verses of the Day
31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” [John 8:31-32, ESV]

Google introduces a new paradigm for generative AI, generative interactive environments (Genie), whereby interactive, playable environments can be generated from a single image prompt.
Genie can be prompted with images it has never seen before, such as real world photographs or sketches, enabling people to interact with their imagined virtual worlds-–essentially acting as a foundation world model. This is possible despite training without any action labels.
Instead, Genie is trained from a large dataset of publicly available Internet videos. We focus on videos of 2D platformer games and robotics but our method is general and should work for any type of domain, and is scalable to ever larger Internet datasets.

“Remember generative AI is a new application enabling a new way of doing software, with new types of software being created. It is a new way of computing. You can’t do generative AI on traditional general purpose computing. You have to accelerate it.”
He also repeated a notion about “sovereign AI.” This means that countries are protecting the data of their users and companies are protecting data of employees through “sovereign AI,” where the large-language models are contained within the borders of the country or the company for safety purposes.
“We now have a new type of data center that is about AI generation, an AI generation factory. And you’ve heard me describe it as AI factories,” Huang said. “Basically, it takes raw material which is data, transforms it with these AI supercomputers and Nvidia builds and it turns them into incredibly valuable tokens. These tokens are what people experience on the amazing” GenAI platforms like Midjourney.
