Seems like a good time to share that I've been working on training a generalized full-body model to play Beat Saber via Reinforcement Learning (no replay data).
My eventual goal is superhuman performance but with the motion/energy/balance requirements similar to a "real" human.
i've been crash learning everything i can about mechinterp for the past two months and this is the best piece so far in terms of furthering my intuitions. amazing work that has made so many things click. i had believed in the superposition hypothesis until now
interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had
with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works

The existing differences between various controller tracking prediction algorithms will likely be negligible on the potential skill ceiling in this game mode. Stark difference compared to original Beat Saber. Crank up the FPS without worry of worse angles hurting your score.
Seeing the full song gameplay in this post makes me feel a bit better about the new mode. I think seeing the HUD makes me feel more comfortable.
The Beat Saber HUD is part of the home in my heart
It's a lot easier to see it's rough edges in first person.
The camera is following the exact head position, but the camera rotation is heavily smoothed/corrected for viewer comfort. I haven't added head/neck joints yet or training rewards for head direction.

first they came for the software developers, and i did not speak out - because i didn't identify as a software developer
then they came for the mathematicians, and i did not speak out - because i didn't identify as a mathematician
then they came for being really good at beat saber - and there was no one left to speak for me

Team Canada 🇨🇦 has taken it’s FIRST BSWC win in a bracket reset against Team USA 🇺🇸 ‼️‼️
Congratulations to all players of both teams, this was an amazing match 🫶
Shoutout to @brazybs_ for being the MVP of the match and to our other amazing players for bringing the win home!
I've been living in Japan for two months now and I'm in Tokyo for the next three days. Having a great time so far. If there's anyone here who wants to meet up send me a message.
What's happening in the world of Beat Saber right now. I've been out of the loop for a long time. Catch me up.
This game was made by my two good friends @enralis and @recursive404! They've put a lot of love into this game and I'm really happy for them☺️
