Just like being in a dream. Trying to run towards "that hill over there" only for it to get further away as you take each step, or it disappear when you take your eyes off it for a second. It's astonishing to have that very private experience (that I've never really put into words or shared with another person) be rendered in front of me by a neural net.

Watching this era of AI advancement play out is like stepping through a museum of the inner workings of your mind.

Thanks for making this playable. I have seen videos of it, but thought I had to wait for years until I can experience it.

The future will be wild. "Hey ChatGPT, lets play Counterstrike on the Enterprise-D. Counter-Terrorists agains Spongebobs"

Interesting. I read somewhere a long time ago a description of dreams being incoherent because 'the brain doesn't have enough compute power to simulate reality well enough'. This seems to me like the exact experience you're sharing. Reality is generated, but no 'memory' to keep it consistent/coherent. So, are dreams really just GenBrain (and the things you think about before falling asleep the generating prompt)?

I would guess that this is correct. My dreams are very much like half way between waking consciousness and a surreal movie - my consciousness doesn't seem to play a part in generating the surroundings and scenery and most of the plot, that seems to be the result of GenBrain.

I think daytime thoughts are also GenBrain btw. Only that waking brain has access to higher mental function - namely longer term memory, higher propensity to notice/surface inconsistencies etc.

In this case, the reason might be that it needs WebGPU, which is only available in chromium based browsers. Changing my user agent doesn't let me in either. Text selection being disabled might be a "lazy" fix for text being selected while in game.

This time it's sadly just another case of a web developer who thinks he knows better than you what browser you should use, it works fine with
