GM CT fam, Happy Friday.
Been digging a bit more into
@vangrid_io lately.
What caught my attention isn’t just more sensors everywhere.
It’s the idea of using devices we already carry to help AI understand the physical world.
Think about it:
→ Smartphones as distributed sensors
→ Real-world data being captured
→ Verified onchain
→ Data provenance
→ Settlements on Base
And the scale is kinda crazy.
There are billions of smartphones out there.
Vangrid has already mentioned 100K+ verified captures, so this isn’t just a cool concept sitting on paper.
But imo, the real test comes later.
How useful is all this data for Physical AI and world models?
Getting the data is one thing.
Getting machines to actually trust and use it is another.
That’s the part I’m watching with
@vangrid_io
Could decentralized perception become a major data layer for autonomous systems?
Let’s see where this goes.
