3D reconstruction shows what the world looks like; world models show how it behaves
prateekj · x · 2026-11-07
prateekj argues that 3D reconstruction captures structure, but intelligence requires understanding dynamics — how objects move, how environments change, and what happens when you act. He sees the frontier opportunity where 3D representation, temporal reasoning, and learned physics converge.
