AMD acquires World Labs for $8.2 billion

Bloomberg’s Emily Chang called World Labs’ Fei-Fei Li the Godmother of AI. The name has since stuck. But what do we make of AMD’s planned acquisition of World Labs? The idea that AI could go beyond the chatbox (such as bots that can clean up coffee spills!) was truly exciting. We all want to be less chained to our laptops and more to the real world. Now, what happens to Li’s vision? Does it get eaten up by a corporate giant? Or was it inevitable with the amount of sheer computing world models need. Li created ImageNet, the large image dataset used to train AI models. What will happen to the vision of the Godmother of AI going forward when it comes to 3-dimensional space? And what becomes of spatial intelligence?
