Why aren't you working on curing cancer?

I don’t think what he works on burns a bunch of energy for nothing though.

I hope he doesn't work at any tech company; I'm pretty sure you could say that about all of them. I also hope he doesn't have a car - that pointlessly burns energy when he could be taking public transit instead.

I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.' New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.

Well, Great Britain isn't a country. Perhaps the filter is too pedantic.

Does Holland work?

It is a game with 12 static assets.

you forgot to mention: "where you pick the style of the assets"

So? Any video generation model must necessarily be able to do this. (consider the case of generating a pan-over of a chess board where the starting input frame is only the first pawn and rook, the model should know to generate the rest of the pieces in the style of input pieces)

Metallica works, Slipknot doesn't, Iron Maiden does, Nirvana doesn't. Aperture Science works, so does Black Mesa (the proposed opponent, hehe), Cyberdyne Systems doesn't, Vault-Tec does, Weyland-Yutani also works. Studio Ghibli doesn't work, Toei Animation does, so does Production I.G. and KyoAni. Akagi works, JoJo doesn't but JoJo Bizarre Adventure does (so does Joseph Joestar, and it knows Dio Brando is the opponen…

I generated a classic chess set based on Nowruz and it generated Hanukkah as the opponent x_x

Playing around, the prompt "Arm cpus" generated an opponent "Leg cpus". You are technically correct...

First thing I've seen from Google that gives me that old "Google" feeling of them shipping something cool and fun.

I agree it is cool and fun and nice to see. But the investment here seems minimal. Preexisting image generation capabilities (with a link to Imagen-3...) plus some "prompt engineering" slapped on top of https://github.com/josefjadrny/js-chess-engine .

Nobody else did it.
