[@ronaldchristenkkson]

@@fortunekamanga It's funny how you dismiss precision and correctness in a subject that wouldn't function without such attributes.

[@holdthatlforluigi]

​@@ronaldchristenkkson I don't think it's "ironic" to make a grammatical mistake while praising intellect---maybe it would be ironic if the commenter was praising their own intellect, but that's not the case. Even then, it's inadvisable to conflate reasoning ability and skill in English. I don't really understand your point anyway. Their comment is not technical and is not "in" a subject that requires formality.

Is “Spatial Intelligence” another name for “Facial Recognition and Artificial Intelligence”?

[@DreamBrookLabs]

Way beyond just facial. It is about the World Recognition

[@showman1438]

@@DreamBrookLabs So, basically the ability to recognize spatial objects and make decisions based on that information. Correct me if I’m wrong, that’s the problem autonomous vehicle companies like Waymo and Tesla have been trying to solve.

[@DreamBrookLabs]

@@showman1438 Yes you're correct. But Spatial Intelligence will be a more general version of it. Not just to recognize traffic and driving situation. They need to also recognize situation such as if the "object" is trying to communicate or harm them, whether the object have any "motivation" to interact, or thinking of ways to spontaneously come up with solutions, to get over a small barrier, maybe find a wood log for the robot to jump over, etc.

AI is responsible for the exponential proliferation of data centers. These data centers make incredible demands on water for cooling, and on energy. This is counter-productive for humanity's hopes for reducing the demands on these 2 critical resources, especially from non-clean sources.

Agreed, but in some of her earlier interviews, she mentioned what they were working on and the problems they aimed to solve. I think this highlights the difference between academia and business: one aims to expand community impact, while the other requires confidentiality.
