In this episode, Grant sits down with Peter Wilczynski, Chief Product Officer at Vantor (formerly Maxar Intelligence / Digital Globe), to unpack why spatial intelligence is emerging as critical AI infrastructure. Peter spent years at Palantir building ontology systems and mapping tools for defense operations before joining Vantor, where his team has built a 100M+ square kilometer 3D model of the entire Earth at 50cm resolution. We dig into how satellite imagery becomes machine-readable through embedding models, why "ground truth world models" are fundamentally different from hallucinated ones, the Raptor GPS-alternative system, simulation and digital forensics, the future of augmented reality, and why the physical world might be the most important thing AI still doesn't understand.
