Given a lot of proprietary data, how would one go about starting training a world model?

  Step 1: raise a billion dollars. Step 2: send a billion dollars to someone with GPUs.

    Funnily enough now you can get the billion dollars from NVIDIA themselves.

    But only if you promise to spend the billion dollars on something NVIDIA is selling

  I don't know about the training, but in terms of the the 'a lot of data', probably one of the inputs would be something like the geospatial data that Niantic has collected from all of the world's Ingress and Pokemon Go players, correlated with other more basic mapping data and things like google street view type camera data.
