Shutterstock / Futurism Paradium.AI, the recently-rebranded media company formerly known as The Arena Group, announced staggering third-quarter losses yesterday as it continues to go “all in” on AI.

“That’s where it becomes magical,” Scaringe said onstage. Scaringe didn’t say when Rivian would implement this, and the company declined to offer more details, pointing instead to the “AI & Autonomy Day” event it’s hosting in December.

His new venture, Physicl, has raised $10 million in seed funding led by Inovia Capital to help world model designers and robot builders solve thorny training problems with more realistic simulations. Founder and CEO de Vigan spent the last decade building nfinite, which made it easy for brands and retailers to create 3D models of their goods and display them online. The arrival of transformer-based AI models led that company to focus more on generative ima

This algorithm, Learning with Opponent-Learning Awareness (LOLA), is a small step towards agents that model other minds.
