Anlife: what does an unusual evolution simulator have to say about AI?

· · 来源:pro资讯

After taking a few days to tweak my choices and figure out what I like best, I've settled into a really nice routine: Aurora Borealis as the Bedtime Cue, an hour of Forest Wind as my Wind Down and a Noise Mask of Brown Noise to play throughout the night. I love how easy it is to set the nighttime routine in motion once it's established. When I hear the Aurora Borealis come on, I start making my preparations for bed. Brush teeth, take meds, lights out and, crucially (I'm trying really hard to be disciplined, here), my phone goes face-down on the nightstand until morning. If I want to stay up late that night and ignore the Bedtime Cue, I can just hit the little stop button on the display. But once I'm ready to actually try to fall asleep, all I need to do is swipe down on the display to initiate the Wind Down, and Forest Wind will start playing.

The converse is also worth asking — whether simulating artificial environments (for instance a 3d representation of a Youtube video) might have unintended negative consequences. Fei-Fei Li’s startup World Labs, which aims to make the leading “world model” — an alternative to language models based on tokenizing physical space rather than words — recently raised a substantial amount of money. As consumer-facing robots become more plausible, the business case for such a model is obvious. But what physical spaces are “world” models actually being trained on? The contemporary physical environment, sound-proofed, plastic-coated, and artificially-colored, is radically different from the environment that Homo sapiens evolved to excel in.
