hat is a world model. An internal simulation of how reality works. AI researchers have been trying to build the same thing for machines. Not by programming physics rules manually, but by letting the AI watch videos and figure it out on its own. If a robot can imagine the consequences of its actions before taking them, it can plan. It can reason. It can avoid stupid mistakes. The problem? Building these things has been an absolute nightmare. Read More
