    We just did the largest live deployment of interactive robots in history. Users online could ask the robot to do things it was never taught to do. A true foundation model, with 0 task-specific data and 0 task fine tuning. 1/10

    I found an internal presentation from 2018 that could've been made yesterday. This was by far the hardest time to build Runway. No one really cared about or believed in what generative models could do for art and media. We were describing a future that didn't make sense to anyone
