Aside from memes I do not see the progress value.

The main progress value is that Test-Time Training appears to work very well in practice. I think that as labs begin to test it as scale in LLMs, it will become commonplace in next-generation models.

Sure, Im not saying they’re not useful tools but let’s not buy into the hype and pretend they’re some silver bullet. Im aware they’ll change how we do programming and other tasks but I don’t think they’ll completely displace human thinking. As for art, i’m not sure artists will cease to exist either. Unless we as a species cease to exist, but then what is all this progress for?

Are you saying you don't see the value in video generation? The potential for unlimited high quality and customizable content generation?

who said that personalised, infinite content generation is a good thing? I watch movies and listen to music because I want to be challenged in some way. I don’t want tailored content that prevents me from exploring new territory and keeps me trapped in a personalised echo chamber.

Why do you think tailored content will prevent you from exploring new territory? You are choosing the content.

I can't wait to watch the first entirely generated short film and create my own.

if something is done for yourself by yourself is not challenging by definition IMO
