1/11 Can you pet the dog in an AI-generated video game? Rarely. I made DogLM — an LLM benchmark to measure it. My findings are in this thread. @CanYouPetTheDog
Jon Stewart's interview of @hilbertspaess is the single best TV piece on the AI race in the whole television history. I really hope the people working in the labs are listening. Go out and hug some humans, the world is not only about a circle jerk. youtube.com/watch?v=lnLDjXy2…
