Were you there or just an attentive outsider?
Attentive outsider and acquaintance of a couple people who are or were employed there. Nothing I'm saying is particularly inside baseball, though, it's pretty well covered by all the blogs and podcasts.
The actual breakthrough with Genie is being able to turn around and look back, and seeing the same scene that was there before.

I have no idea why Google is wasting their time with this. Trying to hallucinate an entire world is a dead-end. There will never be enough predictability in the output for it to be cohesive in any meaningful way, by design. Why are they not training models to help write games instead? You wouldn't have to worry about permanence and consistency at all, since they would be enforced by the code, like all games today. Lo…
