Roblox’s '4D' creation toolset is now available in open beta

Roblox launched an open-source AI model that generates 3D objects on the fly early last year and now that toolset is getting a massive boost. The platform has introduced a model that whips up "4D" objects. I put 4D in quotes because it doesn't actually allow access to the fourth dimension, but rather lets users make interactive 3D objects via prompts.
As suggested, these aren't static 3D models. They are fully functional and interactive objects that move and react to players. The beta toolset can't be used.

T-Mobile, for instance, SpaceX’s only mobile partner in the U.S., is offering its customers access to Starlink Mobile in exchange for paying SpaceX a total of around $100 million as it hits service...

Как перестать использовать ИИ как чат-бота и начать автоматизировать рабочие процессы (Workflows)

Большинство людей используют ИИ неправильно. Они задают один вопрос, получают один ответ и копируют его в свой документ. Это уровень чат-бота.
