The “Beneficial AGI Summit & Unconference” is a new event organized by SingularityNet and TrueAGI in collaboration with others. The Millennium Project is one of the sponsors of the event and our Jerome Glenn, Executive Director and co-founder of The Millennium Project, and José Cordeiro, MP Board member and RIBER and Venezuela Nodes Chair, are members of the organizing committee of the event. The Beneficial AGI summit will take place both online and physically and c/o Hilton Panama in Panama City. The streaming is free, get your ticket.

The objective of the conference is to bring together the leading voices in AI in actions to catalyze the emergence of beneficial AGI. Key themes of the event are: Constitution & Governance Framework, Global Brain Collective, Simulation / Gaming Environments, Scenarios analysis process, Potential scenarios (from 1 to 7).

On the first two days of the BGI Summit, Feb. 27–28, top thought leaders from around the globe will engage in comprehensive, detailed discussions of a wide range of questions regarding various approaches to AGI and their ethical, economic, psychological, political, environmental and other implications. The focus will be on discussing issues, making conceptual progress, forming collaborations, and engaging in the practical actions aimed at catalyzing the emergence of beneficial AGI based on the ideas and connections set in motion by all involved.

We explore large-scale training of generative models on video data. Specifically, we train text-conditional diffusion models jointly on videos and images of variable durations, resolutions and aspect ratios. We leverage a transformer architecture that operates on spacetime patches of video and image latent codes. Our largest model, Sora, is capable of generating a minute of high fidelity video. Our results suggest that scaling video generation models is a promising path towards building general purpose simulators of the physical world.

Introduction.
In the context of the inevitable shift from human labor to machines, particularly in the realm of cognitive and physical tasks, the introduction of advanced technologies like Tesla’s Optimus robot and the development of artificial cognition and synthetic minds carry profound implications.

The Inevitable Shift towards Machine Labor.
The transition from human to machine labor in both cognitive and physical domains is becoming increasingly unavoidable. Technologies like Tesla Optimus represent a significant leap in this direction.

Welcome to the thrilling world of autonomous fabrication, where the only constant is change, and the speed of that change is akin to a caffeinated cheetah on a treadmill.

This blog focuses on revolutionizing the iteration cycle in autonomous fabrication, emphasizing the need for rapid and efficient transitions from design to deployment.

The overarching theme is the synergy between advanced technology and a transformative mindset in manufacturing, aiming for smarter, more sustainable, and compliant operations.
