Rising AI demand tempts Bitcoin miners to repurpose energy, while mining hash power remains a lagging indicator of price movements.
World Labs is building AI that perceives and manipulates three-dimensional space, unlocking new creative, robotic, and therapeutic applications beyond language-only models.
Marble is World Labs' flagship system that turns text, images, or multiple images into editable 3-D scenes. It is deliberately built as a usable product today while also serving as a research stepping-stone toward full-scale spatial intelligence. Real-time demos prove the feasibility of streaming 3-D generation over the internet.
Li explains how diffusion models turned text-to-image generation from "impossible" to commonplace, and how generative video models like Walt push the frontier further. She then moves to spatial AI, where algorithms convert 2-D photos into 3-D scenes, opening the door to immersive, interactive worlds.
Li defines spatial intelligence as the innate loop that ties 3-D perception to the impulse to act. She demonstrates how a single glance yields geometry, relationships, and predictions, and argues that current AI lacks this perception-action coupling. Training agents in simulated 3-D worlds can close the gap.
World Labs' flagship product, Marble, translates the world-model research into a usable platform, offering real-time 3-D generation, navigation, and export capabilities for creators, engineers, and researchers.

Harari anticipates how artificial intelligence could transform capitalism by creating autonomous corporate entities that operate beyond human control or comprehension.
Harari advises young people to cultivate broad skill sets in anticipation of AI disruption, emphasizing emotional intelligence and adaptability over narrow technical expertise.
The shift from static UI elements (nouns) to dynamic workflows (verbs) as the foundation of AI interfaces, requiring new design paradigms to visualize and control autonomous actions.
Structured data outputs from AI agents require clear source attribution and transparency to build user trust, especially when handling sensitive or critical information.
AI video production tools use clever UX patterns to enable rapid iteration despite the computational demands of high-quality output generation.
Balancing real-time feedback with full-generation latency requires clever UI design, such as blurred previews, to enable iterative refinement before final output.
