Damn, even minecraft videos being simulated, this is crazy to see from OpenAI.

Edit, changed the links to the direct ones!

As someone who's played probably too many hours of minecraft, these videos are nauseating. The way that all of the individual pieces exist, but have no consistency is terrifying. Random FoV changes, switching apparent texture packs, raytracing on or off, it's all still switching back and forth from moment to moment.

These videos honestly give me less confidence in the approach, simply because I don't know that the model will be able to distinguish these world model parameters as "unchanging".

As someone who is a human born in the 80s, this shit wasn't supposed to even be theoretically possible.

People didn't think this was possible even a year ago.

"Gives me less confidence"

Cmon man...

But it starts to make sense, when you think about the fact that Minecraft is owned by Microsoft.

example video links from TFA:

I don't think that has anything to do with it. There's just millions of hours of minecraft video on youtube and twitch.

But If they wouldn't have the ok from Microsoft there would be a chance that they start talking about copyright infringement.
