A repost quotes 3D-vision researcher and Synthesia co-founder Matt Niessner arguing that world models are close to a breakthrough.
The interview positions his new startup SpAItial as a bet that can turn text into a 3D world, with the goal of simulating reality so convincingly that you can no longer tell the difference. The post frames world models as the next step after language models, and says the technology is “almost there,” though not quite yet.
