My last time at Slush was to raise Medal's seed round nearly a decade ago. Excited to come full circle :) See you in Helsinki :)
Pim de Witte has been building digital worlds since he was 14. Back then, he created the largest RuneScape private server in history, reaching 3 million accounts and generating over $1 million in annual revenue. Today, he leads General Intuition, a company creating foundation

Honest question @apartmentscom It appears that you consider the term "landlord" an offensive/restricted term? Kind of odd... Educate me...What is the proper term?

TL;DR: I made a Transformer that conditions its generation on latent variables. To do so an encoder Transformer only needs a source of randomness during generation, but then it needs an encoder for training, as a [conditional] VAE. 1/5

Sharing a bit more about the direction of General Intuition, why we didn’t join other frontier labs, and decided to take the bet on ourselves instead!
It was a pleasure sharing the news on General Intuition's $133.7M Seed on @theinformation. Here's our CEO, @PimDeWitte, discussing world models and the lab's origin story with @akashpasricha.

We propose a novel agent paradigm, "Cogito, ergo ludo," as a potential solution for "Intelligence is trying to build a model of the world." Our CEL agent experiences its environment, constructs language-based world models to predict future states, and uses these models to reason,

"Agents" made all the headlines in 2025 but a less noticed trend is massive investment/budget/focus shift to games and environments for AI research. Another example here -- huge pivot from consumer to (Medal, founded 2018) to frontier AI research.
