Episode notes
The Cambrian Explosion
- 540 million years ago, the world was dark, not from lack of light, but lack of sight.
- Trilobites, the first organisms to sense light, ushered in the Cambrian Explosion and the evolution of intelligence.
Modern AI Advancements
- We're creating machines to see intelligently, building on the convergence of neural networks, GPUs, and big data.
- AI can now generate novel photos and videos from text prompts, showcasing advancements like Sora and Walt.
Spatial Intelligence
- Seeing is not enough; we want AI that can act and learn in 3D space and time, powered by spatial intelligence.
- This involves translating 2D images into 3D information, mimicking nature's process.
