fable 5.1 generated an interactive 3D union square, and the agent filmed its own tour guide vid inside it. you can walk Powell to Stockton, read the actual storefronts, cross a working intersection, watch a cable car go by. went inside Apple and the Nintendo store, lower level included

check source code + more worlds soon

Had to vouch for your comment, for some reason it was not visible.

This is probably how I would have tackled this, saves on time, especially if Fable just writes code to convert OSM data to a reasonable ThreeJS model.

This is the kind of demo that would really benefit from a youtube demo of 2-3 min

Fake edit: there is a longer video here 1 min long: https://github.com/PhiloLabs/fable51-worlds/blob/main/union-...

I would be especially curious to see the NPC person/car logic and if they're on rails or what, that's a pretty good NPC density for a demo.

I wish you would provide more information. About time, costs, reliability (how many duds did you have? did you need to do any babysitting or etc) and so on But it is a very impressive looking demo, for sure.

this is really neat. I wonder if people will start building open world games or "AR" games in the vein of Pokemon Go and Ingress based on similar tech. I've had a similar idea for a long time but don't think it was feasible before now due to AI

Cool. But the question remains, what is the point of this? I don't mean to pick on this project specifically, but it's indicative of AI usage in general. You end up with something that's like "wow an AI made this" but it's not really anything that interesting or useful in and of itself. I've yet to see a single agent generated piece of software above that bar.

Cool demo! That's funny. I literally sketched out something similar 30 minutes ago on paper. I wonder if there was some recent, semi-related article/link that subconsciously prompted the relevance.
