This episode features Shlomi Fuchter and Jack Parker Holder from Google DeepMind, who are unveiling a new AI called Genie 3. The host, Tim Scarfe, describes it as the most mind-blowing technology he has ever seen. We were invited to their offices to conduct the interview (not sponsored).Imagine you could create a video game world just by describing it. That's what Genie 3 does. It's an AI "world model" that learns how the real world works by watching massive amounts of video. Unlike a normal video game engine (like Unreal or the one for Doom) that needs to be programmed manually, Genie generates a realistic, interactive, 3D world from a simple text prompt.**SPONSOR MESSAGES***Prolific: Quality data. From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://prolific.com/mlst?utm_campaign=98404559-MLST&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=script-gen***Here's a breakdown of what makes it so revolutionary:From Text to a Virtual World: You can type "a drone flying by a beautiful lake" or "a ski slope," and Genie 3 creates that world for you in about three seconds. You can then navigate and interact with it in real-time.It's Consistent: The worlds it creates have a reliable memory. If you look away from an object and then look back, it will still be there, just as it was. The guests explain that this consistency isn't explicitly programmed in; it's a surprising, "emergent" capability of the powerful AI model.A Huge Leap Forward: The previous version, Genie 2, was a major step, but it wasn't fast enough for real-time interaction and was much lower resolution. Genie 3 is 720p, interactive, and photorealistic, running smoothly for several minutes at a time.The Killer App - Training Robots: Beyond entertainment, the team sees Genie 3 as a game-changer for training AI. Instead of training a self-driving car or a robot in the real world (which is slow and dangerous), you can create infinite simulations. You can even prompt rare events to happen, like a deer running across the road, to teach an AI how to handle unexpected situations safely.The Future of Entertainment: this could lead to a "YouTube version 2" or a new form of VR, where users can create and explore endless, interconnected worlds together, like the experience machine from philosophy.While the technology is still a research prototype and not yet available to the public, it represents a monumental step towards creating true artificial worlds from the ground up.Jack Parker Holder [Research Scientist at Google DeepMind in the Open-Endedness Team]https://jparkerholder.github.io/Shlomi Fruchter [Research Director, Google DeepMind]https://shlomifruchter.github.io/TOC:[00:00:00] - Introduction: "The Most Mind-Blowing Technology I've Ever Seen"[00:02:30] - The Evolution from Genie 1 to Genie 2[00:04:30] - Enter Genie 3: Photorealistic, Interactive Worlds from Text[00:07:00] - Promptable World Events & Training Self-Driving Cars[00:14:21] - Guest Introductions: Shlomi Fuchter & Jack Parker Holder[00:15:08] - Core Concepts: What is a "World Model"?[00:19:30] - The Challenge of Consistency in a Generated World[00:21:15] - Context: The Neural Network Doom Simulation[00:25:25] - How Do You Measure the Quality of a World Model?[00:28:09] - The Vision: Using Genie to Train Advanced Robots[00:32:21] - Open-Endedness: Human Skill and Prompting Creativity[00:38:15] - The Future: Is This the Next YouTube or VR?[00:42:18] - The Next Step: Multi-Agent Simulations[00:52:51] - Limitations: Thinking, Computation, and the Sim-to-Real Gap[00:58:07] - Conclusion & The Future of Game EnginesREFS:World Models [David Ha, Jürgen Schmidhuber]https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10122POEThttps://arxiv.org/abs/1901.01753[Akarsh Kumar, Jeff Clune, Joel Lehman, Kenneth O.

Cracking Rufus and the Story Behind The Blueprint   Welcome to this special edition of Seller Sessions, where Danny McMillan dives deep into Amazon's AI-driven evolution with Oana Padurariu and Andrew Bell. In today's episode, they unpack the sicence behind Rufus and how it words on a technical level.     Danny kicks off by highlighting the monumental shift Amazon is undergoing with the introduction of Rufus, a powerful AI-driven recommendation engine designed to personalize the shopping experience. Unlike traditional keyword-based search algorithms, Rufus interprets natural language queries, connecting questions and answers to products through. Noun Phrases and semantic similarity models.   “The era of static, keyword-stuffed listings is over. Rufus marks a sea change in how customers find and purchase products online. We need to think beyond keywords and embrace AI-driven optimization.” Lexical Matching vs. Semantic Similarity   Lexical Matching vs. Semantic Similarity: Traditional search ranks results based on exact keywords. Rufus goes deeper by understanding noun phrases and their meaning, even if the exact words aren't present. Inference and Reasoning: Rufus interprets questions and product features to make recommendations based on real-world use cases. For example, asking “What's the best running shoe for flat feet?” triggers suggestions for products with enhanced cushioning, even if the product description doesn't explicitly say “flat feet.” The Core of Rufus: Noun Phrase Optimization (NPO) Andrew introduces a new concept for sellers: Noun Phrase Optimization (NPO). He explains that instead of focusing on individual keywords, sellers should craft rich noun phrases that Rufus can interpret and rank effectively. Example: Instead of just “journal,” optimize with: Material: Leather-bound Type: Writing journal Purpose: Gift for writers Key Takeaways: Build descriptive, semantically rich noun phrases that Rufus can infer meaning from. Structure listings using core noun phrases with descriptive modifiers (e.g., “stainless steel pour-over coffee maker”). “Think of it as building a noun stack — material, type, purpose. Each layer enriches the meaning for Rufus to process and connect with customer queries.” Why Sellers Must Embrace AI Search Danny, Oana, and Andrew agree that AI-driven search is the future, and sellers who adapt early will reap the benefits. However, they caution against gutting existing listings without a strategic approach. Here's how to get started: Test on Lower-Performing Products Apply NPO strategies to failed or underperforming products before risking top sellers. Optimize Image Text Rufus reads text in images. Ensure your action shots and infographics include semantic phrases. Utilize Backend Attributes Fill in optional attributes in the backend to help Rufus better understand your product. The Semantic Similarity Model   In simple terms, Rufus connects questions to products through a ranking process that interprets meaning rather than matching exact keywords. It uses click training data to learn from shopper behavior and noun phrases to rank products based on their semantic relevance. Example: Question: Are car seats interchangeable? Answer: Universal infant car seat. Rufus makes this connection without the exact phrase appearing in the product description. Practical Strategies for Sellers   Noun Phrase Structure for Titles: Descriptive Noun Phrase: Professional kitchen knife set Secondary Noun Phrase: Chef's cooking collection Qualifier: With German steel blades Bullet Points: Lead with strong noun phrases that connect features to benefits. Why Data Matters — And Why It's Still Missing There's no direct data for Rufus performance yet. She stresses the need for Amazon to release reporting tools that measure Rufus-driven sales and performance.   However, Danny highlights a workaround: “Test your product detail pages (PDPs) with Rufus. Ask questions about your product and see how Rufus responds. If the answers are inaccurate or missing, that's a sign you need to optimize.” The Future of Amazon Search and AI “AI-based search is here to stay. Keywords aren't dead, but the way we use them is changing. We need to think conversationally, contextually, and customer-first.” Key Takeaways: How to Future-Proof Your Listings Embrace Noun Phrase Optimization (NPO)Create rich, descriptive noun phrases that Rufus can interpret. Test Your PDPs with RufusAsk questions and analyze the responses to identify gaps. Leverage Backend AttributesComplete optional attributes to improve product discovery. Final Thoughts from the Guests Andrew: “The rise of Rufus marks a shift to AI-driven discovery. Sellers must start thinking beyond traditional SEO and embrace inference-based optimization.” Oana: “2025 will be a pivotal year. Rufus will continue to evolve, and sellers must adapt to stay competitive. The key is understanding how Amazon's AI reads and ranks your listings.” Want More Insights? Looking for a Free PPC Audit?

Today, we have a world exclusive. Will O'Brien unveils his stealth startup to the world for the first time. Will is my pick for the rising star of season 22 and this episode will clearly show why. Not only is he backed by some of the hottest investors in the world, he is solving a problem that could potentially save the world.  Will shares the rationale behind keeping his company under wraps for so long, focusing on engineering challenges away from the public eye. Our conversation then turns to the ambitious quest of seagrass restoration, an innovative solution for carbon removal. We explore the immense potential of scaling restoration efforts, fueled by global climate goals, and discuss the strategic fundraising journey that brought on board top-tier investors aligned with the venture's long-term vision. Will is a fascinating guy and we explore some of his wilder adventures including going to live with Buddhist monks and writing letters to Denis O'Brien which landed him a dream job. --- Thanks to my season title partner Local Enterprise Office: https://bit.ly/leodigital21  Find out more about digitalisation for your business in the link above.
