It sounds cool that Genie 3 can make whole worlds you can explore, but I wonder how soon regular people will actually get to try it out?

#12I wouldn't want to be a hollywood production studio or game developer right now.
Same here. Though if I were a 17-year-old film fan or gamer with an imaginative drive, I would be really excited about the powerful creative tools that might become available to me soon.

#13Consistency over multiple minutes and it runs in real time at 720p? I did not expect world models to be this good yet.
> Genie 3’s consistency is an emergent capability
So this just happened from scaling the model, rather than being a consequence of deliberate architecture changes?
Edit: here is some commentary on limitations from someone who tried it: https://x.com/tejasdkulkarni/status/1952737669894574264

Even with these limitations, this is still bonkers. It suggests to me that world models may have a bigger part to play in robotics and real world AI than I realized. Future robots may learn in their dreams...

#15First AI thing that’s made me feel a bit of derealization… …and this is the worst the capabilities will ever be. Watching the video created a glimmer of doubt that perhaps my current reality is a future version of myself, or some other consciousness, that’s living its life in an AI hallucinated environment.

#16Yet another unavailable model from Google.. if I can't use it, I don't care. Tell me about it when it's ready to use.
What a strange take. Do you not care about news coming from the James Webb Telescope either, just because you can't play with the telescope personally?
It's a whitepaper release to share the STOTA research. This doesn't seem like an economically viable model, nor does it look polished enough to be practically usable.

Same, even worse that the world was generated on the fly—nobody even hand-crafted it. That makes it even more depressing.

#18I don't think I've ever seen a presentation that's had me question reality multiple times before. My mind is suitably blown.

#19Now this could be the killer app VR's been looking for.

Bitter lesson strikes again!
