Behind several versions of No Man's Sky, let alone whatever madness the LLM people have been cooking.

What's the state of the art?
Re: Infinigen: Infinite Photorealistic Worlds Using Procedural Generation
#14it's unclear from the readme - is this infinite as in can generate infinite variations on a scene, or infinite as in generates an infinite world?

So what IS the state of the art that's also FOSS, perhaps even as-a-library, and non-gen-AI (I'm thinking interactive/game-dev/realtime use-cases)?

Not open source, but Gaia is widely used in games and movies. Can do some cool things like simulated vegetation growth/distribution.

#18Really cool project. Some questions to ML/AI researchers here on HN: - Are there any ML/AI papers out there that trained on this? E.g. training robots in virtual environments? - What data sets are used today in the ML/AI space to train robots?
From the video: "Infinigen is 100% procedural. Math rules only. Zero AI. Just graphics." . Timestamp: https://youtu.be/6tgspeI-GHY?t=107
He’s asking if anyone is training using data created from a system like this, not if this uses AI.

You are probably thinking of gaea - not gaia. Gaia is also a world generator but not as widely recognised as gaea (and gaia is only implemented as a unity plugin IIRC).
