Listen up — you and I just helped build one of the most valuable real-world datasets on the planet.
While we were out catching Pokémon or pulling up Street View, two quiet crowdsourcing machines were busy creating the foundation for the next trillion-dollar spatial AI https://t.co/bOsOuE88Ky Street View
Billions of high-resolution images captured from cars (and user uploads) across more than 100 countries. That raw footage was turned into precise 3D models, Immersive View, and the most accurate digital twin of global roadways ever built. Smart money knew early: mobility data at scale is pure gold.
Niantic’s Pokémon GO
Since launch, hundreds of millions of players have walked billions of real-world miles and contributed over 30 billion ground-level photos and videos through the AR Mapping feature. Niantic — the Google spin-off that kept the data rights — turned that pedestrian dataset into their Large Geospatial Model and Visual Positioning System (VPS). Centimeter-level accuracy, anywhere. No GPS required.That same technology is now being licensed to autonomous delivery robots, last-mile logistics, and any company that needs to navigate the messy real world where satellites fail.
Two complementary plays, one massive outcome: Google owns the car-level arteries.
Pokémon GO owns the sidewalks and everything in between.
Together they’ve created a living, constantly refreshed map of the physical planet — the kind of proprietary data moat most AI companies can only dream about.We didn’t just play a game or check directions.
We unknowingly became the largest unpaid training crew for the next generation of spatial intelligence.The real lesson? The smartest businesses aren’t always the ones building the tech — they’re the ones who get millions of people to build it for them.
Respect to the operators who saw this coming. Who else realizes they helped fund the future without writing a single check? Drop a comment if you’ve been scanning PokéStops “just for the game.” #SpatialAI #DataEconomy #Niantic #Google #RealWorldAI
@RadioGenoa He shouldn't have hit her like that, no impulse control. BUT im sick of these old white Karens thinkin they can just do whatever with no consequences.
Yall fuckin up in Europe. More people dead from heat than guns in the USA cuz you ban AC, no single country has a higher GDP than Mississippi, military is garbage, Islamic invasion and no care for your countrymen.
Get your heads outa your assess before you lose everything
Watching the father of 22-year-old Logan Federico screaming at Democrats after his daughter was dragged from bed, forced on her knees, and executed...
...by a man arrested 39 TIMES with 25 FELONIES
Still may be the most powerful and heartbreaking video I've ever watched.
Everyone who let this demon walk free, should be in prison.
Outraged mom rips down an LGBTQ pride flag in her child’s classroom, declares she’s done subsidizing ‘indoctrination’ — revealing a U.S. map behind it.
Should schools ban LGBTQ content?
A. Yes
B. No
HOLY SHIT!
California Democrats just KILLED a bill that would have barred registered sex offenders from running for public office.
People convicted of sex crimes, including rape, can still run for office under current law. That includes positions on school boards, city councils, and even state legislatures.
Yes girl! Love the 🪧! Let’s deport White liberals to... North Korea! I hear they have a real dictator there, not like the cheap imitation they claim we have in America.
They love communism so much, let them live and drench themselves in it! ✌🏽
