This blogpost provides a more extensive summary of the JEPA (Jonit Embedding Predictive Architecture) and VL-JEPA (Vision-Language JEPA) architectures developed by Yann LeCun. An earlier world models overview blogpost gave an initial summary and preliminary resource set. This blogpost provides: VL-JEPA: Some Introductory YouTubes This YouTube by AI Revolution provides a very easy-to-understand contrast-and-compare between… Continue reading World Models: JEPA and VL-JEPA

World Models: Five Competing Approaches – Overview
As of late 2025, there are five different approaches to creating world models. Here, we do a contrast-and-compare, identifying not only the specific areas in which each is (or can be) useful, the companies and “Chief Magicians” (leading scientists) behind each, and – most importantly – the money. This blogpost is still under development; we’ll… Continue reading World Models: Five Competing Approaches – Overview
Pivoting to AGI: What to Read/Watch/Do This Weekend
We are moving from a generative-AI era to an AGI era. What that means – in the simplest technical terms – is that we’re pivoting from “single-algorithm systems” to systems that must – intrinsically – involve multiple major subsystems, and multiple control structures. We’re closing out a 50-year connectionist AI era. This era began with… Continue reading Pivoting to AGI: What to Read/Watch/Do This Weekend

Conversation: AI, the World, & the Future (Pt 1)
A week ago, Yann LeCun suggested that conversations about the future, especially regarding how AI will influence our lives, should involve economists. LeCun specifically suggested Erik Brynjolfsson, a Stanford economist. Brynjolfsson hasn’t published any books recently, although he had an impressive run about ten years ago. What we DID like was this interview: Another good… Continue reading Conversation: AI, the World, & the Future (Pt 1)
