"WorldLab is a two year old startup. I think we should just recognize it's a frontier model lab. We are building the next frontier of AI, which is what we call spatial intelligence. And spatial intelligence is about creating AI that has the ability to generate, understand, reason with, and interact with spaces, whether it's physical or virtual."

Reading Fei-Fei's book just reminded me of that [gratitude for mentors]. And I remember after I read it, I pinged some of them and thanked them.

Safety measures are happening, but there needs to be more in the right way, in a scientifically grounded way. And that's the conversation that should be taking place instead of what you say, the theater.

Robotics is going to be one of the most important revolution in human industrialization. Six billion dollars is too small. If you look at self-driving cars investment, if you look at language models investment, it took way more than $6 billion.

World Labs is built on the thesis that language models represent only one dimension of intelligence, and that spatial intelligence — the ability to reason, understand, move, and interact in 3D space — is the next major frontier.
