If biology operated this way animals would never have evolved. This is bunk, it has nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with hyping the oxymoronic/paradox branded as spatial intelligence. It's a flimsy way of using binary to burn energy.

Senses do not represent, if we needed them to in order to survive, we'd be dead before we never saw that branch, or that step, etc. This is the same mistaken approach cog-sci took in inventing the mind from the brain.

The problem is the whole brain prior to sensory and emotional integration is deeply involved so that an incredibly shallow oscillatory requirement fits atop the depth of long-term path-integration, memory consolidation involving allo and egocentric references of space and time, these are then correlated in affinities by sense emotion relays or values. None of this is here, it's all discarded for junk volumes made arbitrary, whereas the spaces here are immeasurably specific, fused by Sharp Wave Ripples.

There's no world model in the instantaneous shallow optic flow response (knowing when to slam on brakes, or pull in for a dive) and in the deep entanglements of memory and imagination and creativity.

This is one-size fits all nonsense. It's junk. It can't hope to resolve the space time requirements of shallow and deep experiences.

Counterpoint: Humans visualize stuff in their minds before trying new things or when learning new concepts. An AI system with LLM based language center and a world model to visualize during training and inference would help it overlap more of human intelligence. Also it looks cool.

Edit: After seeing your edited (longer) comment, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I don't know who you are or why you're so negative, but I have an immediate use case for this and I'll come back and post a "Show HN" on this.

This is immensely useful tech for blocking out consistent scenes, eg. for video generation.

Beyond entertainment, this is going to be huge in the field of robotics.

I wish you could see what I see.
