Why is nobody talking about AI world models?

Aug 20, 2025

AI isn’t just generating videos anymore — it’s generating entire worlds. In this deep dive, I’ll break down the rise of AI World Models: Google’s Genie 3, NVIDIA’s Cosmos, and OpenAI’s Sora — and why they’re the closest thing yet to a real-life Holodeck.

As an Ex-Googler who spent years building real-world models, I’ll show you how these systems work, where they’re headed, and why this race will reshape robotics, virtual reality, and the future of content itself. IMO this tech is bigger than LLMs and a key part of AGI people miss completely.

Covered in this video:
• Google Genie 3: Interactive video generation and single-image 3D reconstruction.
• NVIDIA Cosmos & Omniverse: The hybrid approach to building digital twins for Embodied AI using game engine and 3d simulation technology.
• The World Model Wars: How Google, OpenAI (Sora), Runway, and NVIDIA are competing.
• Synthetic Data Revolution: A look at startups like Parallel Domain, Bifrost, and Sky Engine AI.
• The Rendering Stack of Reality: The grand challenge of creating simulations that scale from a single object to an entire city.

The future of creative AI and how to harness It - Harvard lecture

Aug 29, 2025

In this talk, we dive deep into the AI primitives that are revolutionizing content creation and consumption. Starting with the evolution of computer graphics and animation workflows, we explore how AI simplifies what once took weeks into days.Covered in this video:

• Spatial Intelligence: Photogrammetry, neural radiance fields (NeRFs), and 3D Gaussian splatting for digitizing reality.
• Visual Intelligence: AI-powered pose estimation, segmentation, depth inference, and relighting.
• Hybrid Workflows: Vibe coding, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and how LLMs interface with Blender, Unreal, and Runway.
• Content to Content Paradigm: Moving beyond text-to-video into fully personalized, dynamic, and just-in-time media.
• The Future of Media: Personalized podcasts, AR tours, generative AI games, and the blurring of software with content.

With real-world examples from Google Maps, Niantic, Wunder Dynamics, Autodesk, ByteDance, Meta, and startups like Luma, Odyssey, and Simulon, this video is both a crash course and a forward-looking blueprint for creators, studios, and innovators.
