Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs and Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs are racing to build world models that understand physics and space. But nobody is building the equivalent for human behavior — even though we arguably have more data about people than about physics.

A Stanford experiment overworked AI agents until they started talking about unions and systemic restructuring. The agents aren’t developing class consciousness — they’re activating personas from training data. But the distinction matters less than you’d think.
