Ah, the complement to TROFF.

That all sounds right to me, but apparently they can also be used for simply generating videos, or "unlocking the creation of new interactive experiences"... which both seem like competing goals with everything you just mentioned.

Is this post popular because of a recent mathematical discovery in this problem space?

I see your point for the bike scenario, but not for choosing a paint colors or touring a city (the other scenario in the ad). The common element that I perceived was that these were all mundane tasks in the physical world.

I find the video strange. Are we meant to empathize with people who get flummoxed by everyday life? "Oh woe is me, I can neither assemble a bike nor ask a friend for help!" Of all the challenges in my life, the tiny mundane ones are the ones that can be most fun; those are the opportunities to laugh at myself, and to revel in small & happy victories. It's the charm of life.

These are amazing but the parent comment is referring to vision comprehension, not generation.

Me too but unfortunately theorem proving seems to be easier than doing laundry.

What was the prompt?

But aren't today's frontier models already "fully universal"? To use your Turing machine analogy, I think we're past the calculator stage.

Super useful, and easy to do in the VS Code merge pane.

They were speaking from an implementation perspective.

Ah, I see it as a "reasoning level" in codex after typing /model
