I've done this quite a lot while working at a large architecture firm. It can be great for both small and enormous projects.

Often, the more effort you put into the tiniest details, textures, etc the larger the realism payoff.

I also found that immersion got better when the headset responded to the subtle head movements that we all make.

I watched a Waymo try to take this on last night. It drove on the left.

I assumed the point of war these days was largely just money making. "Winning" puts an end to the grift - it's far more profitable to keep a nice long term rolling boil going.

I wonder if (this part specifically) is a solvable problem? Is it their altitude that causes them to shine? Perhaps finally a commercial use for Vantablack?

Can't you just append ".json" to the end of any Reddit link and read all sorts of these fields?

I'm in Europe and I can't say this is the case at all. I've never heard anyone express such an idea.

Realistically, what can these types of commitments look like for the AI frontier companies, moving forward?

They're releasing ever more powerful models with stronger offensive capabilities. So do they have to help bolster the defense of all existing software, just... forever?

If we advance both the offence and defense with each new release, is this sustainable?

Oh this is brilliant, I've spent the last month doing something just like this. As a challenge, no libraries allowed besides Python standard libs (so no numpy).

Started with Word2Vec, built an RNN, then LSTM and am halfway through building transformer architecture.
