February 22, 2024 / 01:00

This episode discusses advancements in AI models and their impact on physics simulation in software development, particularly in gaming and animation.

The conversation highlights how AI can autonomously generate physics models, reducing the need for extensive programming. This is illustrated through examples from the Unreal Engine, showcasing fluid dynamics and other simulations.

Guest Ed Catmull shares insights on the challenges Pixar faced in creating realistic hair physics, emphasizing the time and effort invested in developing their own physics engine.

The discussion emphasizes the shift from human-driven software creation to AI-driven processes, marking a significant change in the industry.

TLDR

AI models are transforming physics simulation in software, reducing reliance on human programming.

what's amazing about this model this model on its own has rendered physics if you look at some of the other demos on
00:00:05
this tool you can actually see fluid moving those are like physics models that would typically be
00:00:10
deterministically written meaning that a programmer an engineer writes the physics and then the Unreal Engine
00:00:15
renders the physics in this case the model figured out the physics and the model probably did it in such a reduced
00:00:21
way that you can use a reduced amount of compute to generate something that would
00:00:24
otherwise take a ton of compute time and I think it really speaks to what's so incredible right now which is that soft
00:00:30
Ware is writing itself and it's replacing a lot of human determinism the way that humans think about constructing
00:00:35
software is being completely redone with these learn models this is incredible because Pixar spent years maybe a decade
00:00:42
trying to figure out hair I remember talking to Ed cill and he told me hair was just so hard to get right with wind
00:00:48
and lighting they literally built the physics engine for years to make hair cross The Uncanny Valley what you're
00:00:54
saying here freedberg is somehow this language model this image model just outputs it
