This is pie in the sky swing for the hills nonsense that lumps everything into space. First world models are oxymoronic. Ecological principles, processes and material outcomes eschew models, they’re unnecessary because they’re provided for in the exchange between DNA, biology, bauplan, brain and environment as fast acting optic flow. Any animal relying on anything as preposterous as a world model is dead, splat, drowned etc. world models and survival are incompatible.

The notion it is reducible to spatial ‘intelligence’ is just another case of flavor of the month in AIs contraction and desperate search for success and funding.

That a world model as inconsistent and inaccurate as storytelling is given here as a premise to hoist cash for flavor of the month spatial details how desperate the search has become in Frontierland.
