It’s been a crazy 2 years seeing so many amazingly talented researchers bring GENerative Interactive Environments alive in Genie 1 and 2.

the future is agents in generative environments
Introducing 🧞Genie 2 🧞 - our most capable large-scale foundation world model, which can generate a diverse array of consistent worlds, playable for up to a minute. We believe Genie 2 could unlock the next wave of capabilities for embodied agents 🧠.

*New Paper*

🚨 Goal misgeneralization occurs when AI agents learn the wrong reward function, instead of the human's intended goal.

😇 We show that training with a minimax regret objective provably mitigates it, promoting safer and better-aligned RL policies!

a very interesting multi-criteria optimisation problem for procedural level generation in 3D games

could one be inspiration for the environment design as a general sum game or a coalition game, going beyond zero-sum stuff?

In our recent paper, we outline 15 fully risk-agnostic, process-based, evidence-seeking policy objectives. None of them limit *what* developers can do -- they just affect *reporting* and *visibility.*

Very happy to announce the publication of our latest paper:

A theory of appropriateness with applications to generative artificial intelligence

And happy new year everyone!
A theory of appropriateness with applications to generative artificial intelligence
What is appropriateness? Humans navigate a multi-scale mosaic of interlocking notions of what is appropriate for different situations. We act one way with our friends, another with our family, and yet...

Excited to reveal Genie 2, our most capable foundation world model that, given a single prompt image, can generate an endless variety of action-controllable, playable 3D worlds. Fantastic cross-team effort by the Open-Endedness Team and many other teams at Google DeepMind! 🧞

Thrilled to share Genie 2! Endless environments created by text or images, a key to open-ended/AI-Generating Algorithms.

Genie 1 showed it's possible. 9 months later, Genie 2 shows jaw-dropping progress.🤯 Witness the magic of scale, again. 📈🚀 Thx to all team members @deep-mind.bsky.social!

Welcome! @natashajaques.bsky.social. 👋

I think you may find one or two people who share your sentiment here... 😁
One of my first posts on twitter was "fuck twitter". I'd just like to reiterate that sentiment today, as I join bluesky
