@ylecun Question: Will world models allow AI to understand hugs?

@Noahpinion @ylecun ☠️ it will give robots the ability to better hug. it will not give them the desire to hug or the reciprocal conveyance of love of a hug.

@Noahpinion Nah, they understand hugs based on societal context. Touch is a human universal, and they will obviously experience it differently, but hugs specifically are a cultural artifact that LLMs presumably already have a fairly good understanding of based on text.
