On: DeepMind: A Generalist Agent

[extr]

Abstract: Inspired by progress in large-scale language modeling, we apply a similar approach towards building a single generalist agent beyond the realm of text outputs. The agent, which we refer to as Gato, works as a multi-modal, multi-task, multi-embodiment generalist policy. The same network with the same weights can play Atari, caption images, chat, stack blocks with a real robot arm and much more, deciding based on its context whether to output text, joint torques, button presses, or other tokens. In this report we describe the model and the data, and document the current capabilities of Gato.

> we refer to as Gato

First, humanity built enormous statues worshiping cats.

Then, we let cats populate the largest amount of "image-bits" on the Internet.

Now, we name the next closest thing to general AI after them.

These damn felines sure are mysterious.

it's all because cats made it so that, on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
