"Getting Started with Google Wave": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKUAqNGVwX0
Years later Apache moved it to read only because of low community activity.
The archived git repo on GitHub remains available to clone and revive as a fork.
wave failed for weird google organizational reasons far more than anything inherent to the product or tech
But this demonstrates we're a couple orders of magnitude away from generating 1:1 hyper-personalized entertainment and media for individuals, rather than the masses.
Ultimately, most people don't have ideas for the kinds of personalized entertainment they want, and they don't want to be in charge of content production (even if you have an LLM do most of the work). I don't doubt that there are niches for it, especially stuff like porn, and I'm sure that pros (game studios, film studios) will leverage AI more and more, but I suspect that most of us will just want to sit on the couch, watch Spiderman XVIII, and then be able to talk about that shared Spiderman XVIII experience with all our friends.
8 months ago, he was (very reasonably) claiming that reliable agents are at least a decade away, but this now goes against the interest of his employer, so the narrative has been changed.
Or maybe over these 8 months agents improved a lot? You know, few years ago many AI experts predicted that things we are routinely doing now with AI are decades away. I mean how can you look at this post and not be impressed? It's insane what AI is currently capable of.
That took a fair amount of custom tuning and I had to create a tuning view to get some of the behaviors right.
But it was enough fun that I generalized it to take in ~any scene description from a film. It goes out and gets more detailed descriptions and film stills if available but also takes custom stills if you provide them.
My test scene was the Gauntlet scene from Apocalypto. It is low fidelity but does a pretty amazing sequence with somewhat believable physics of the javelins etc.
Here is the docs page with the vertical takeoff / 88 miles an hour time travel: https://contextify.sh/docs
I can share some of the Apocalypto bit if anyone is interested.
We already have sneaker designs and the equipment to manufacture them. Whatever it spits out is going to be, at best, a mediocre clone of something that already exists. What exactly is the point?
Thanks for confirming:

You can downvote like in all other ClosedAI threads, but justice will come for the thieves eventually.
No bias. No speculation. Just facts!
You cannot come and place your personal positions as assumptions. To me, there is absolutely no theft. And we cannot play a game of "Yes!"//"No!" here.
By the way: are we having a surge of this?
I wonder whether we are entering the era of throwaway software. Just like cheap plastics and improved processes has enabled us to rapidly manufacture anything we want for a very low price, maybe LLMs give us the same for software. Produce it cheaply and if it breaks throws it away and reproduce it.
that's why these things are actually pretty good at openscad/freecad/F360 mcps , the visual reality is enforced and guaranteed by rigor in the interpretation engine that is anchored to human physical reality.
"Draw an animation of this long ass scene from a movie, and only call me when everything works e2e" can be.
There’s a reason AI slop games have literally zero engagement. Last summer that stupid flying game blew up. Maybe a million people “played” the game. Where play means they clicked a link and checked it out not because of what the game was but solely because of how it was made.
In terms of concurrent players that game wouldn’t have cracked the Top 5,000 on Steam.
My metric for AI games is “number of players who spent more than 15 minutes playing”. I’m not aware of any vibeslop that has achieved 1 such player.
Now obviously LLMs are transformative for game dev. But “hyper custom worlds you can drop into” shows an extreme ignorance of what players want imho.
I guess the next question is if they can be made fun without too much additional work with a human guiding the AI.
I guess this is the average story and, similarly, the average game is boring and predictable
When Fable was first released the day-1 demos of it on Twitter (presumably from people who were given early access, and/or Anthropic employees) were pretty much 100% three.js stuff. Yes, it looks nice, but it doesn't tell me any better than an Erdos proof whether the LLM will be able to run my vending machine.
I wonder if Flash is still popular... LLM can use that instead...?

Thanks Elon
And this personal media thing, yeah maybe for terminally online persons that are REALLY into a sub-genre but otherwise, it's too much effort, I agree. Until we get machines that can read our (subconscious) mind, that will not exist.
Not even close. Current AIs have very poor spatial awareness, they can generate some kind of scene but they can't tell you where objects are in the scene, nor can they move objects into different places. They're very useful but it's difficult to be very creative with them because they can't update an image to make it more aligned with your vision for what should be in the image.
1:1 AI entertainment probably won't be a cold start experience.
Much like the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books of the 80's, consumers choose a baseline template, customize the characters, and interact at various points within the plot.
The fans were real heart broken about this but I think you're right on where this is going. We're not going to be seeing the dominance of centrally produced content like this for much longer, like sure, I think there will be big blockbusters will stick around, but I think the day is coming where media becomes a choose your own adventure sort of scenario.
It'll be interesting to see where this scales to. there will definitely be some amazing solo projects but we'll also see the like 4 player co-op version of productions and then the larger mine-craft server 'Minas Tirith' scale ambitious projects that involve a few dozen people. And of course passive consumers will remain a thing, or people who just provide some suggestions or nudges for what they'd like to see others make.
But I don't think it'll be dominated by big companies like Disney, Netflix, Amazon or Paramount.
I'm sure a lot of them will suck but it'll be neat to see the inevitable Seinfield - Star Trek Voyager cross over episodes.
Elaine and B'Elanna Torres feud after a transporter accident leaves the crew stranded the delta quadrant. Jerry attempts to date 7of9 and but is rebuff as she finds Kramer's quirky bluntness relatable. George panics after someone compares him to Neelix.
Asking AI to design real world objects doesn't work very well because all of its tests involve proxies and thus miss things that are glaringly obvious when the object is actually built.
