And btw, that’s not a blanket statement that’s an empirical statement that wipes away quite a bit of LLM relevance. I’d say it destroys the approach.
Do the research. And an apology is in good order.

There were never approximations merely false models.
The field is trapped in bad definitions and decisions
They’re irrelevant in terms of any idea of intelligence as intel is built upon topologies.
Intelligence is tied to development where functional outcomes are by genetic tinkering with environments for flexibility. These gaslighted trivial models are function aimed, so they have zero ability to even mimic what intel is.
Face it this is a massive washout. It has no ambition. It lacks even a weak definition of the models name “spatial intelligence” and it lacks one because there is no such thing.
Fundamentally world models do not exist and are oxymoronic.
Look at Unlocking The brain both volumes, rhythms of the brain and the brain from inside out, and these are the tip.

Easily refute prediction or error prediction as fundamental.
The path to intelligence or consciousness isn’t mimicry of interpretation.
In terms of strong definitions, start at the base, coders: oscillation, dynamics, Topologies, sharp wave ripples, and I would say roughly 60 more strongly defined material units and processes. This reverse intuition is going nowhere and it’s pseudoscientific nonsense for social media timeline filling.
Biology does not see 3-D, we integrate two 2-D inputs and make a 2.5-D from them in varying degrees of resolution. Within the brain our mapping systems and sensory/emotional/memory architectures range from no D (they are affinities of exploding areas) to 2-D topology, which integrate from whole brain to the finer aspects of mapping in what we understand so far are unique combinations of allo and egocentric scales of space.
Also as thought and words (and symbols, representations, metaphors, add anything arbitrary here in our weak externals) are divergent and unrelated, the manifest idea these approaches link them as a route to an unsupportable and additonal layer of "world modelling" is inferior innovation (if can even be called innovation). These are all steps back from the integrations we see biointelligence operating with. This is synthetically deciding that intelligence can be simplified with limited general processes and then form fitting them into a binary code to mimic it. It's really poor ideation.
None of this requires models (maps are not models), and the entire idea that a model is being used as a gateway to intelligence as redundant and oxymoronic as in any "world model". In essence, this is the last range of disability to achieve intelligence from binary, which in itself is a poor form to interpolate the oscillatory dynamical nature of consciousness/intelligence. It was very premature to develop this phase of code like this.
The idea that words and space are being conflated as a formula for spatial intelligence is fundamentally absurd as our relationships to space have no resolution, both within any one language and worse, between them, as language is arbitrary. Language and thought are entirely separate forms. Aphasia has proved this since 2016.
AI developers have to face the music, these impoverished gimmicks aren't even magic, they are bunk. And debunkable once compared to the sciences of the brain.
Edit - of course you have no idea, you have no grasp of the oscillatory-dynamic origins of consciousness, nor does it seem anyone in AI.
Senses do not represent, if we needed them to in order to survive, we'd be dead before we never saw that branch, or that step, etc. This is the same mistaken approach cog-sci took in inventing the mind from the brain.
The problem is the whole brain prior to sensory and emotional integration is deeply involved so that an incredibly shallow oscillatory requirement fits atop the depth of long-term path-integration, memory consolidation involving allo and egocentric references of space and time, these are then correlated in affinities by sense emotion relays or values. None of this is here, it's all discarded for junk volumes made arbitrary, whereas the spaces here are immeasurably specific, fused by Sharp Wave Ripples.
There's no world model in the instantaneous shallow optic flow response (knowing when to slam on brakes, or pull in for a dive) and in the deep entanglements of memory and imagination and creativity.
This is one-size fits all nonsense. It's junk. It can't hope to resolve the space time requirements of shallow and deep experiences.
Hypotheticals regarding where optimums are best expressed are irrelevant in terms of a partnership future, they will be negotiated.
Physical prowess is no longer convincingly conferring a definitive route to dominance unless there’s a patriarchal overreach into coercion that defies growing universal regularities of equalities in bills of rights etc.
The fact women give birth does in no way restrict them into submission.
Please reject all patriarchal myths in order to discus partnership goals.
Humans are not like other primates, we’re a mix of evolutionary and biological factors that result in a continuum rather than a strict dichotomy, humans fall somewhere between "tournament mating" species and "pair-bonding" species. We’re not locked into any certain gender dominant if you know endocrinology and evolution.
There is no true dominant outcome once the mental playing field is leveled. Male aggression is uniquely equalized in feminine control.
Partnership males are ready to negotiate, the negotiations are social and online.
Dissolve the mythic residue from all of it: cause and effect folk science explanations.
That’s evolution, especially as patriarchy is dismantled far too slowly. When do we demote these male gods? The dinosaur skeleton of patriarchy?
Keep in mind, patriarchy is just a narrative that masculinity can never resurrect.
And the question becomes how do we ensure parity or partnership, otherwise women can possibly implement the pendulum swing matriarchal dominance? The patriarchy (male mono mythic gods, inheritance favorability, dominance, you name it) is slowly coming to an end. And those that sneaked by in the past on the coattails of dominance are not getting into college nor can this plurality compete in an open market.
Retrieving masculinity isn’t bringing back the dominance or self image of it.
What did men do to deserve this? We accepted evolution and the switchover happens.
The notion it is reducible to spatial ‘intelligence’ is just another case of flavor of the month in AIs contraction and desperate search for success and funding.
That a world model as inconsistent and inaccurate as storytelling is given here as a premise to hoist cash for flavor of the month spatial details how desperate the search has become in Frontierland.
