There was a recent YC podcast about Vision Pro where SLAM and the overlap with autonomous vehicles was explained.

Ohhh. I thought the commenter was using some sort of slang about the quality of their work.

For others out of loop:

Yes, I also don’t work I computer vision but played with it just a tiny bit—I think somebody saying they worked in SLAM and are moving to a Vision Pro project is not a huge leak or anything. It is like a chemist saying they work in lithium ion batteries and are making the same move. A very broad and fundamental concept.

Maybe the fact that they were moved away from the car project would have been a leak though, depending on what else they said.

Link? I didn’t know YC had a podcast and Google didn't help.

Most recent episode?

Tangentially, it's funny to me that people link to YouTube for podcasts these days.

It was at the time of the comment the most recent video on the YouTube channel - "Apple Vision Pro: Startup Platform of the future?"
