Bilawal, the architecture here is brilliant. You didn’t just build a simulator; you exposed the default aesthetic of an entire industry. Seeing Palantir's co-founder jump in proves you hit the exact nerve of the surveillance vs. sousveillance debate.

Watching you push the boundaries of SpatialOS is incredibly inspiring, but it provoked a massive question for me: Why is the broader tech world so captivated by military tracking and state control?

Inspired by your concept, I fired up Cursor to build the exact inverse: The Environmental Vitality Map.

What if we took your exact tech stack (Google 3D Tiles, WebGPU, real-time APIs) and pointed it inward? Right now, I’m combining EPA and Water Quality Portal data with live weather, thermal imaging, USDA runoff grids, and decentralized air sensors onto 3D city blocks.

In simple terms: it visualizes the invisible. It lets you actually watch how a toxic industrial air plume physically drifts down a specific street, or trace exactly where agricultural chemicals are bleeding into a local water grid in real-time, or how local governments are relying on outdated guidelines to declare toxic water "compliant."

We have seen U.S. cities and entire communities poisoned because the reality of their water or air was buried in bureaucratic red tape. So instead of just rendering a depressing map of pollution, the system acts as a routing engine for action. When it detects a severe anomaly (like a localized grid quietly flowing Haloacetic acids at 422x the health guideline—echoing what happened in Flint, Michigan), it draws a 'Truth Line' to the source and triggers solutions.

The immediate goal is to coordinate with local and federal governments by auto-generating verified epidemiological reports for city councils. But when agencies are underfunded, backlogged, or unable to step in, the map acts as a community safety net. It integrates smart contracts so neighborhoods have the ability to bypass the wait and instantly self-fund independent lab testing or deploy their own local air and water sensors. If solution A fails, we route to solution B.

As you pointed out with the Palantir response, the data was never the moat. The accessibility is.

You built a God Mode for seeing the world. I'm building a God Mode for community healing.

I am documenting the architecture of this build. I would absolutely love to connect with you and any other "reality mappers" who want to direct this caliber of spatial intelligence inward toward community regeneration.

Like you said, the future is too interesting to navigate alone. Let's flip the panopticon inside out.

Are you mapping airasol distribution from chem trails and air traffic with adbs flight radar etc and marine mapping for sea dumps

Tyler Bliss's avatar

Not yet John but we're building it now. This is a powerful addition: aviation aerosol correlation (flight density vs. satellite-measured aerosol optical depth) and marine pollution mapping (sea dumps, port discharge, coastal contamination). Two new layers going in.

Would love to contribute to your project if you intend to open source it

Hi Tyler, I'm trying to vibe code a 'Livability Index' as well. A tool that acts a feedback loop for constituents to share their hyperlocal civic experience. I think there might be interesting synergies. Would like to connect. Cheers!

cool story bro "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading peaceandquiet.io (see the browser console for more information)."

outstanding work Bilawal.

i’ve never looked forward to an OSS repo link this much in my life

Geospatial FM's avatar

bro give us the link

Just crazy what you were able to build. Super impressive.

When can we acesss it to test and evaluate it? I hit you up on instagram. Appreciate the link. Looking forward to it. With the wars in Iran, isreal, Lebanon, Gaza, Sudan, plus all the weird movements in china see plus narco cartel stuff! I’m all over the place watching and advising. 😵‍💫

Inspired by your concept, i am doing something that take OSINT and utilized to recover debt from debtor to creditor. Would be a tool that help lawyer to search of debtor's property document and bring it in legal suits as a prove.

As someone who's worked in commercial sat-com for over a decade and has familiarity with all these data feeds for a long time now, I'll give you a slight hat-tip for the effort and the integration. The interface and the aesthetics are what make this viral, and I'm sure there will be more than a taker or ten for the final commercial product. Kudos and good luck!

There's reality, though. Regardless of however we frame it, the public data feeds which make this possible are the bottleneck themselves. These data feeds are public for a reason. Palantir and other Big-Brother products did not make their mark by using public data only. They have access to private data feeds which literally and figuratively allow them to predict the behaviour or individuals and systems.

Public data feeds show us what is happening. Private data feeds tell them what is about to happen. It's not even remotely close to the same game.

The general public doesn't care about nuance though, and you'll get your flowers and followers on social media. Current sociopolitical sentiment is in your favour too, and I urge you to ride this wave for as long as possible, as far as possible.

ok then, let's all give up. right?

This is the most groundbreaking usage of AI for visualization of data I've found so far. Not the product itself(world view) but your thought process while building it, the way you think is clearly the reason of your success.

Please continue sharing more about your explorations and how you view the world with AI lenses. We are learning so much.

release it already

When we can access it

Joe Lonsdale just admitted you can copy their software product in a few months. Now all you need is the infrastructure and data, which you’re working on. It should be a surprise that one person can put Palantir on check.

Better infrastructure for open source surveillance data and they’re cooked.

Hi Bilawal,

"The WorldView demo is incredible, the contrast of military-grade targeting with that anime aesthetic is pure magic.

I’ve been diving deep into this stack and would love to contribute to the scaling of the SpatialOS project. I'm eager to help with the 'vibe' experiments to free you up for the high-level architecture.

Are you open to a collaborator jumping into the sandbox? If so, what is the best way to discuss how I can plug in and add value?"

How do we get the download?

Danilo Sistu's avatar

That’s a crazy work, i tryied doing it, but even with the best prompt agents continue messing up stuff, there is any way you can make this project open-source? Love from italy

Excited to be a part of the next Era

This is what I built for the NSA with their Ai Lab. Don't be confused, this is World View, but its similar in likeness to what I built for NSA with my mind. I actually reached them how to use it. Im the interest of national security and public good its important for the public to know and understand that we can find them. We can find them anywhere, I won't say how but we can, and within inches I should say. So they have two different missions. Well done.
