Wat nu weer: Google's Project Genie, speelbare open werelden enkel per tekstprompt
Alsof we nog niet schermziek genoeg waren
ja knap hoor maar zullen we eens naar buiten?
Het idee is als volgt. U typt een wereld zoals: 'Een modern kantoor van een contrair Nederlands mediamerk bemand door uitsluitend de meest begeerde hengsten', upload 1 screenshot en kijk daar, je zit speelbaar en al naast ons! Nee maar even. Indrukwekkend is het natuurlijk wel, want je trekt hierbij halve game-engines uit een paar zinnen tekst. En het heeft blijkbaar ook een geografisch-historische functie, en driemaal zonder te kijken raden wat je krijgt met coördinaten en tijdstip: "31.7785° N, 35.2296° E, April 3, 33 AD, 15:00 hours" (antwoord na breek). Maar hoe indrukwekkend het ook is, het gebeurt 'slechts' op je scherm, en dat scherm kennen we nou wel. Dus ook: een nieuwe GTA voordat de nieuwe GTA er is. Veel meer na de breek.

I created the first frame with Nano Banana Pro on Photo AI and then @minchoi ran it because I can't get access outside US yet

Google latest AI makes you generate games in a couple of minutes, that's insane.

This dude just made a Greenland version of GTA 6.
Gaming studios are cooked big time.

Oke vet maar ja
Oh wow.. Nano Banana Pro + Genie 3 is literally a time machine 🤯

Generate image in Nano Banana Pro then render in Genie 3 with the same prompt. Music by Suno AI

Een greep uit De Rest
Will we get AI GTA 6 before GTA 6?

I gave @GoogleDeepMind Genie 3 a GTA 6 screenshot and it generated this playable world.
Obviously still plenty of artifacts but give this one year... pic.twitter.com/eDtejOx7bS

Project Genie is a prototype web app powered by Genie 3, Nano Banana Pro + Gemini that lets you create your own interactive worlds. I’ve been playing around with it a bit and it’s…out of this world:)

Google Genie just let me walk through 1900s San Francisco.

I gave it one black-and-white photo. It gave me back a city -- explorable from the sky or the street.

Every frame is generated in real time by a learned world model trained on millions of gameplay frames.

Google Genie3 out today: generate "playable" 3D worlds with a simple prompt. Here's my first attempt at 1664 New Amsterdam. Many inaccuracies, but wow. pic.twitter.com/jxf7wybzjh

Genie3 is super good at simulating (or 'hallucinating') complex physics.

It can simulate the splashes, foam, and their interaction with the surfer that are almost impossible for traditional graphics engines to render in real-time.
The gap between simulation and generation is… pic.twitter.com/tnWVWrPMGy
