Niantic says it is using data generated by Pokémon Go players to create a “Large Geospatial Model” that can navigate the real world and power robots.

It’s always about the data.

Um are we sure we want this data? Weren’t there some people who walked into traffic and fell down hills playing Pokémon Go?

Soon we’ll find delivery robots trying to pull some amazing stunts, all thanks to the sacrifices of some daring Pokemon Go players. Good times ahead 🍿

Iirc a lot of people also taped their device to ceiling fans and stuff to get steps (to hatch eggs maybe? Idk I never played it)

So we’ll have it directing people into circles for hours!
