Love the insight that language models have been more widely useful than video models.

For Levine, this is because LLMs kind of sneakily and indirectly model the brain. I would be tempted to say instead that shared languages are more powerful than single brains. But either way, it’s a good read!

Fun fact: It was illegal for monkeys to salute Hitler.
Perhaps the best takeoff on the Hitler greeting, however, was that of a performer from Paderborn: he taught his trained chimpanzees to extend their arms in Nazi fashion. (According to the performer's son, the chimpanzees enjoyed doing this.) Every time the animals saw someone in uniform, even a postman, they would give the Nazi salute. This dadaistic coup of the Paderborn comic, who was a committed Social Democrat, attracted the ire of his "racial comrades," who reported him to the authorities. A directive was soon issued forbidding apes from using the Hitler greeting, with the penalty for noncompliance being the "slaugh-ter" of the animals. When it came to expressions of respect for their leader, the Nazis did not have much sense of humor.
