Meta's New AI: Because Reality Wasn't Messed Up Enough Already, Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!

Meta's At It Again!

Alright Morty listen up. Meta yeah the same bunch that brought you Facebook is now rollin' out some AI thingy called V JEPA 2. They're callin' it a 'world model.' Sounds impressive right? Wrong. It's basically trying to understand the 3D environment. You know like a toddler trying to figure out gravity. They say it understands predicts and plans in the physical world. Newsflash so does my belching Morty. It’s all just input and output Morty. Basic causality. You drop something it falls. Groundbreaking.

World Models: For When You Can't Even Get Out of Bed

So apparently these 'world models' are supposed to mimic how we understand reality. Think of it as trying to simulate the entire universe in a computer Morty. Only instead of actually traveling to different dimensions Zuckerberg wants his robots to figure out that a ball rolling off a table goes…where? Down! I'd rather just drink my portal fluid thank you very much. It's all about simulating Morty. The more you simulate the less you actually do.

Zuckerberg vs. The Universe

Zuckerberg bless his soulless robot heart is dumpin' $14 billion into AI and hiring some dude from Scale AI. You know 'cause AI competition is heating up with the likes of OpenAI Microsoft and Google. All these mega corps fighting over who can make the most convincing digital assistant. Meanwhile I'm over here inventing interdimensional cable. Priorities people! Meta wants to become the Galactic Federation of Social Media Morty. Just you wait.

Delivery Robots and Self Driving Cars: The Future is Bleak

Meta's touting this V JEPA 2 for delivery robots and self driving cars. Great. More machines taking our jobs. What's next Morty? AI comedians? Oh wait they already exist. The thing about self driving cars Morty is that they're going to be just like the rest of society. Slow and stupid. And expensive. Better to just build a spaceship and skip this mess.

The Secret Sauce: Latent Space…Whatever That Is

Instead of using tons of data or videos V JEPA 2 uses some simplified 'latent' space. Don't ask me what that is Morty. Sounds like something Summer would learn in AP Physics then try to explain to me. It's all technobabble. The point is it's supposed to be better at understanding how objects move and interact. My understanding? It's just a fancy algorithm. And algorithms are inherently exploitable Morty. Don't trust 'em.

The Next Big Thing: More Ways to Waste Time

Apparently 'world models' are the new hotness in the AI community. Some lady named Fei Fei Li raised $230 million for 'large world models.' And Google's DeepMind is making 'Genie' which simulates games and 3D environments. So basically more ways for people to escape reality. I get it Morty. This dimension is kind of a garbage fire but escaping it with video games ain't the answer. The answer is interdimensional travel and lots of booze!
