@Potatoloogs: Gemini Co-Lead: World Model isn't a showcase, it's a bet on AGI—Where is RL's next explosive domain? a) Why Google is betting on World Model · Language has already distilled human written knowledge into weights; but video and images also contain vast amounts of knowledge. Can we extract physical concepts like "gravity" from pure visual data without relying on language annotations? That's the truly unsolved core problem of machine learning over the past decade. b) RL post-training: A greenfield, but with structural constraints. c) Memory and continual learning: The answer may not lie in weights. d) Can AI truly "innovate"? The capability Vinyals is most uncertain about. e) Advice for entrepreneurs.
