There are people in their right mind who would do that and their are already examples of people who did similar things.
But maybe not in the future if people would confuse all the effort with AI
I think it's interesting that the "Bag's End" interpretation in the video clearly looks like the one from the movies, but generated here as a three.js 3D asset.
It makes sense that the movies (or shots/frames from them) were in the training data, and I can also easily imagine an association in concept space between the textual description of Bag's End and the frames from the movie.
But how on earth does the model then go on and convert the latent representation of those images into coordinates for a 3D mesh, without ever even restoring the image? In what kind of representation are the images from the movies stored that it can do that?
Yeah, please check in with the folks protesting data center builds in their town causing their electricity prices to skyrocket and tap water to turn into a scarce resource.
And now, instead of actually doing the above, please go ahead and downvote me, because how dare he question those LLM games.
I like where Karpathy is going; I had the same thoughts about LLM generated slop scenery. I just want some variety of scenery for the goblins to get massacred in in whatever fantasy slop game I play.
Better than I would have expected? Sure. Impressive that it got that far? Definitely. But is the end result good?
