Why this CEO thinks video games make better training data than the internet
When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes. That gap, it turns out, might be filled by gaming data. That’s the bet behind General Intuition, a

Large language models like ChatGPT and Claude are skilled at processing text but lack the ability to understand how objects move through space and time, a capability needed for artificial general intelligence.

The startup has secured significant funding from major investors and backers to pursue this approach to developing what it calls physical AI. The CEO has discussed how gaming data might represent the next major breakthrough in AI development.
