NEW: Microsoft just unveiled Muse!

It's an AI model that can generate minutes of cohesive gameplay from a single second of frames and controller actions.

The implications for gaming are absolutely massive:
Muse is the first World and Human Action Model (WHAM), and the scale of training is mind-blowing:

— Trained on 1B+ gameplay images
— Used 7+ YEARS of continuous gameplay data
— Learned from real Xbox multiplayer matches
From a single second of gameplay + controller inputs, Muse can create multiple unique, playable sequences that follow actual game physics, mechanics, and rules.

NEWS: DeepSeek just dropped ANOTHER open-source AI model, Janus-Pro-7B.

It's multimodal (can generate images) and beats OpenAI's DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion across GenEval and DPG-Bench benchmarks.

This comes on top of all the R1 hype. The 🐋 is cookin' Image
For those wondering my quick take on what's happening right now with R1 and Janus

1. GPU demand will not go down
2. OpenAI is not done for, but Open source and China are showing they're far closer than anticipated
3. There's way too much misinfo being spread by mainstream media right now (almost seems on purpose?)
4. DeepSeek open-sourcing R1 is still a huge gift to developers and overall AI progress

I haven't seen this much confusion and uncertainty on my TL for ages...

I got early access to ChatGPT Operator.

It's OpenAI's new AI agent that autonomously takes action across the web on your behalf.

The 9 most impressive use cases I’ve tried (videos sped up):

1. Ordering dinner ingredients based on a picture and a recipe
2. Planning a weekend trip based on hidden gems off Reddit, my budget and interests

Notice how at 0:06, ChatGPT Operator was blocked from Reddit but then decided to just do a Bing search with "Reddit" at the end

Very impressive decision-making
3. Crypto investment research based on tokens that are actually worth looking into

Notice how ChatGPT Operator got hit with a "Are you human" CAPTCHA, then pinged me to take control to confirm

Wild workaround
