1/ Brief THREAD to unpack @MetaAI's new Project CAIRaoke AI self-supervised learning model announced this morning.

Launch video: facebook.com/zuck/videos/67…

Zuckerberg showed a demo of a Builder Bot conversational VR worldbuilding tool within Horizon Worlds that's featured below.
2/ Horizon World has terrible graphics, but Self-Supervised Learning is foundational AI tech that'll allow multi-modal training beyond labeled data, making speech-to-3D object creation in immersive worlds a reality. Will this yield good world design? TBD.
3/ Project CAIRaoke is a new conversational assistant synthesizing Natural Language Understanding, Dialog State Tracking, Dialog Policy, Management, & Natural Language Generation.
They say it's "deeply contextual & personal."

1/ THREAD
@lavalvirtual conference has started in virtual reality. Thousands of users in VR using the @VirBELA1 platform. They've had an overwhelming response & most of the rooms are too small & it's difficult to see the slides.
Buzzing! #LavalVirtualWorld

2/ Here's my avatar that I created for #LavalVirtualWorld.
Not a ton of options or variety, but enough to recognize familiar names. Ran into @laganaro when I first arrived in world. The avatar representations turn into 2D billboard outlines of people when there's many in a room.
3/ There's one main spawn point at #lavalvirtualworld, & you're immediately on top a group of 20 people. You're muted by default & there's not an obvious way to unmute if you're in VR. I had to configure audio settings after I had spawned, should it be part of onboarding & easier

There are some #GDC2020 talks being virtually streamed on their Twitch channel at: twitch.tv/gdc
Currently @kait_zilla is talking about "integrating gameplay & narrative design by focusing on the narrative in gameplay verbs/actions."
Schedule:
gdconf.com/gdc-2020-virtu…
There some annoying technical glitches in the @Official_GDC Twitch stream. Specifically in @kait_zilla was whenever she shows an animated GIF in her presentation, the audio completely cuts out. Remote teleconferences is still in it's early days. Hope slides are available.
There are archives of the Virtual #GDC2020 sessions on Twitch (at least for now).
Just listened to @direGoldfish's talk on her design process on the puzzle game Kine that she spent $420k on in-kind labor.
It was really inspiring to hear her journey!
