Episode notes
Game Footage Trains Spatial Reasoning
- General Intuition uses billions of video-game clips to teach AI spatial reasoning for real-world tasks like robotics navigation.
- Game footage provides extreme edge cases and first-person perspectives that are hard to capture in real-world video.
Spin-Out From A Massive Gaming Platform
- General Intuition is a spin-out from Metal, which hosts about 2 billion gaming videos per year and 10 million monthly uploaders.
- That dataset is reportedly larger than Twitch or YouTube for this niche and attracted acquisition interest from OpenAI.
Train Robots With Synthetic Edge Cases
- Use simulated or synthetic edge-case data to teach agents uncommon but critical behaviors.
- Train robots with diverse game scenarios so they learn consequences like slipping or falling before real-world deployment.
