"Niantic, the company behind the extremely popular augmented reality mobile games Pokémon Go and Ingress, announced that it is using data collected by its millions of players to create an AI model that can navigate the physical world.

In a blog post published last week, first spotted by Garbage Day, Niantic says it is building a “Large Geospatial Model.” This name, the company explains, is a direct reference to Large Language Models (LLMs) Like OpenAI’s GPT, which are trained on vast quantities of text scraped from the internet in order to process and produce natural language. Niantic explains that a Large Geospatial Model, or LGM, aims to do the same for the physical world, a technology it says “will enable computers not only to perceive and understand physical spaces, but also to interact with them in new ways, forming a critical component of AR glasses and fields beyond, including robotics, content creation and autonomous systems. As we move from phones to wearable technology linked to the real world, spatial intelligence will become the world’s future operating system.”"

I've been a Mets fan since they started in 1962, saw one game at the Polo Grounds in their first two seasons, was at the first game they ever won at Shea, was at Game 4 of the 1969 "Miracle Mets" World Series (and had a ticket to Game 6 in 2000, but the Yankees won it in five…). I've rarely watched any game like the first game of today's doubleheader against Atlanta, with the exceptions of games 6 of the 1986 NLCS (too often forgotten, given the World Series) and World Series.
Amazing!
