There's a pretty interesting idea behind @vangrid_io Usually, AI infrastructure starts with expensive hardware and then builds the software around it. Vangrid flips that model. The sensor is already in people's pockets. If smartphones can capture useful spatial data, you don't need to deploy dedicated hardware everywhere just to understand the physical world. Of course, that creates a different set of problems: incentives, data quality, privacy, verification, and figuring out how to aggregate everything reliably. But I think that's an interesting tradeoff. Dedicated hardware can give you consistency, but scaling it is expensive and slow. A network powered by everyday devices is naturally messier, yet it could scale much faster. The important part isn't really the camera. It's the coordination layer that makes all those individual observations useful, verifiable, and connected. That's what makes @vangrid_io interesting to me.
