Working in robotics now, the main application of these methods 🦾🦾🦾. I would have loved to create a fully physics-based simulation game, that was my dream, but the market/demand for that is too low compared to the compute resources required for this type of research.

Whatever happened to training physics based character controllers using RL? This was all the rage a few years ago. Every clip here looks cool af.

Introducing MazeBench, a 3D open world environment that evaluates long term planning with visual spatial reasoning. It spans hundreds of rooms and puzzles. Today’s best agents cannot progress beyond the initial levels.

The Odyssey might be Nolan’s best movie and this is coming from a Nolan and Troy superfan.

Using codex to revive a C++ game project I've paused for 7 years. I never loved writing code but I will always love building cool things and making large codebases scalable🫡
