> yeah that "model of the world" would mean: babies are already born with "the model of the world"

No, not necessarily. Babies don't interact with the world only by reading what people wrote wikipedia and stackoverflow, like these models are trained. Babies do things to the world and observe what happens.

I imagine it's similar to the difference between a person sitting on a bicycle and trying to ride it, vs a person watching videos of people riding bicycles.

I think it would actually be a great experiment. If you take a person that never rode a bicycle in their life and feed them videos of people riding bicycles, and literature about bikes, fiction and non-fiction, at some point I'm sure they'll be able to talk about it like they have huge experience in riding bikes, but won't be able to ride one.

We’ve been thinking about reaching the singularity from one end, by making computers like humans, but too little thought has been given to approaching the problem from the other end: by making babies build their world model by reading Stack Overflow.

		The “Brave New World meets OpenAI” model where bottle-born babies listen to Stack Overflow 24 hours a day until they one day graduate to Alphas who get to spend Worldcoin on AI-generated feelies.

		That's it. Now you've done it! I will have stackoverflow Q&A, as well as moderator comments and closings of questions playing 24/7 to my first not yet born child! Q&A for the knowledge and the mod comments for good behavior, of course. This will lead to singularity in no time!
