Come back to me when it can one-shot Melania ⚔️

If it was just watching the videos without context it would be extremely challenging to train a neural network, which is why it retained a pool of contractors to create a smaller dataset where they recorded both their video and the actions they took—keypresses and mouse movements. This is then used to tag that 2,000 hours of footage, and then train something called an Inverse Dynamics Model with that dataset so it can then go off and tag the larger 70,000 hour dataset accurately.

It's this tagged video content that is seemingly the key to training such complex and open behaviours as you'll find in Minecraft. The use of VPT then has kinda been proven, and the future of this as a training method means that, as OpenAI states, it"paves the path toward allowing agents to learn to act by watching the vast numbers of videos on the internet."

Though whether that's something to wonder at or fear for I'm still not sure. I've seen YouTube, there's a lot of terrible stuff on there. There's a lot of me on there, for god's sake. Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 . He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window. He first started writing for Official PlayStation Magazine and Xbox World many decades ago, then moved onto PC Format full-time, then PC Gamer, TechRadar, and T3 among others.

How do you train a child to play Minecraft? Give him a few instructions & rules and let him play. Much simpler method don't you think? Why couldn't we do that with AI?
