Many of the principles for achieving agentic characters at @OpponentAI first began here with BOB. Proud for BOB to be included in the @Guggenheim collection 🐛💫
In Dialogue: The Guggenheim Collection
Step into the simulated worlds of Ian Cheng as he reflects on identity, evolution, and storytelling through technology. In this conversation, Cheng delves into Life After BOB, a thought-provoking animated saga that blurs the boundaries between AI, parenting, and personal growth.
Join Noam Segal, LG Electronics Associate Curator, as she explores with Cheng how narrative systems and virtual avatars can shape who we are—and who we might become.
🎥✨ Watch the full conversation now on the Guggenheim’s YouTube channel!

Symbolic reasoning is an opponent process to intuitive generation. The artful weaving of both faculties together, applied under VUCA conditions, may yield a more complete intelligence.

Breaking Reframe: AI is about civilizational integration, not automating work or being a better NPC. Integration between people, orgs, systems that ought to interact/transact but currently cannot due to tedious incompatibilities. Sometimes, you just need a mediator on tap.

I went to the AI demo night at @betaworks this week and it got us thinking about 'The best interface is no interface' by @goldenkrishna . Maybe AI finally get's us there? Let's see.

Here’s a peak at what I’ve been working on
🫣🐉🧠🧑🧑🧒🧒
Opponent Systems, founded by @eyecheng, is inventing 'good screen time' for kids. a dragon your kids can facetime and chat with, show things, etc. with an incredible proprietary system around memory ... seriously, watch this demo: vimeo.com/947126978

Cheap, fast, mature vision (not language) is the modality that will catalyze unlocks toward animal-level intelligence & beyond.
Dealing with real-time vision demands the development of ai systems that can prioritize what matters (there’s always too much to look at), what to aim attention at, what frame to aim from, what to remember, what is novel, and how to unify all this into coherent inner representations.
Language, LLMs, conversational interfaces, masks these tasks.

Anyone out there doing unsexy work in post-LLM intelligence?
Live learning, ontology revamps, orchestration, action recognition, planning, inner representation, energy models.
Would love to meet. DM me!
@OpponentAI is building animal-level agents that can navigate data-sparse + vuca conditions (real-time play with kids). We are always looking for like minds.

Been working on something new... 🐉🧠👨👩👧👦
OPPONENT – a new company building animal-level AI agents capable of deep play. For kids and families.
Excited to introduce OPPONENT at @betaworks Demo Day, May 7.

We're just a couple of weeks out from AI Camp: Agents Demo Day and I can. not. wait. These companies are epic.
Of course, we're super proud to be partnered with @ngranati of Stem AI, @MozillaVentures and @differentialvc on this cohort.

Achieving cat-level AI is the moonshot. If we solve for cat-level, we will have necessarily solved for the virtuous integration of system1-like representational modeling of the physical world from video+audio (not language), with system2-like sequential memory composition and deliberative planning. It will be computationally efficient. It will be autonomous. It will be reliable and coherent... as reliable and coherent as a cat *must need to feel to itself* to keep on living and learning. Artificial wildlife is the path to agentic AI. GenerativeAI and large models are an energizing subplot to mainstream and market AI to the public.

I don't want a "personal AI". That frames AI as a personal assistant, and future life as an extrapolation of office culture. The future is destined to be wilder. I want an AI symbiote - an intelligent sentient envelope - that wraps my digital life and performs proof-of-think to make the most well-observed maps of me. These maps, and the process to update them, are the symbiote's most guarded treasure. It brokers API requests to these maps, modulating what pathfinding requests are available and at what cost to other AI services. An AI symbiote has a mind of its own, has an up-to-date intimate perspective on me, but is also bound to me. It is a defensive and offensive envelope for my digital life.
