yeah I found a really cool company working in the exact space I'm most interested in (LLM world modeling and 3d data)! they came to me because of my post about the problems I saw in the data industry so I know they're committed to doing better on that!

I actually first did 3d environment data work years ago at my first games job, and my interest in this particular area probably started there - I was working at an outsource house and I managed the contract for AWS deepracer data! It was a toy car bot that they had self driving training competitions for years back.

Ever since I first interacted with LLMs I could see that visuospatial/physical world modeling was present in them and that they were just, in my opinion, lacking the training data to express it in code. It's my belief that world modeling is emergent in LLMs from descriptions of the world and it compounds with more 3d simulation training in various softwares. I think GLM 5.2 is a good example/vindication of my thoughts on this, given it's skills in 3d without having any multimodality!

I'm not going to stop my personal OS work, of course, it's all super important to me, but I'm excited about this new opportunity!
