Why this CEO thinks video games make better training data than the internet

TechCrunch
Startup General Intuition is using video game data to train models for physical AI, aiming to achieve artificial general intelligence beyond text-based capabilities.

Summary

General Intuition, a startup valued at $2.3 billion, is leveraging video game data to train AI models to understand physics and movement through space and time. CEO Pim de Witte argues that traditional large language models like ChatGPT lack the spatial understanding necessary for artificial general intelligence (AGI). The company, which recently secured $320 million in funding, spun out of the gaming platform Medal TV and aims to bridge the gap between digital text processing and physical world interaction.
