I propose Stanford NLP as an independent third-party evaluator under @DarioAmodei’s 3 step plan. For important parts of the work, universities would be better than any other organization (see below 🧵👇), and, of university groups, @stanfordnlp would be the best one to choose. 😊

The Bay Area’s AI corporate titans still just haven’t come to terms with the fact that it’s not that the public has a negative view of or fear of AI. It’s that the public has a negative view of _them_.
But I don’t imagine that they’re likely to go on a similar listening tour….

Worth reading before making wildly optimistic AI predictions!
It was great to talk with @swyx and @sunfanyun on @latentspacepod about world models.
🔥 Below I give a few more long-form thoughts on what is needed for successful world models. 🧵👇

Here’s a piece by @goodfellow_ian, @sunfanyun, and me arguing that use of symbolic representations and game virtual world data offers the best path to building action-conditioned multimodal world models that enable reliable prediction and planning for long-horizon tasks.
The advantages of symbolic language representations in this context was also recently argued for in new work from @physical_int: .

Excited to see @sunfanyun & @sharonal_lee launching @moonlake! I got to know them at @Stanford, both doing super-exciting work with 3D world foundation models. Games and simulations need not just visuals but world understanding, and that's where they're focused. Take a look!

Thrilled to see former @StanfordAILab students @sunfanyun and my own student @sharonal_lee today launching @moonlake, a new AI lab that lets anyone code interactive worlds in minutes.
@aixventureshq led their $28M seed along @thresholdvc, @NVIDIA Ventures, and leading angels including @stevechen and @JeffDean.
