DeepMind, Google’s brainy bunch working on AI stuff, just threw out this thing called Genie 3. It’s like, a super smart system that whips up virtual worlds on the fly—kinda like stepping toward that ‘Holodeck’ dream. Weird, right?
So, it seems from Google’s chit-chat that with just a few words, Genie 3 can spin up these scenes—real-time, 24 frames a second, 720p, if you’re into numbers. For now, it’s stuck being a ‘flatscreen’ deal. VR folks might be twiddling their thumbs since things like Quest 3 have way sharper displays. Progress, eh?
Now, here’s the kicker. Unlike those boring, static videos, this system builds scenes instantly. You sneeze, it’s got you. Meaning more fun and less waiting.
These worlds keep their cool for a few minutes, think short-term memory vibes. And oh, you can toss in changes with messages—like, wanna make it rain in your cozy castle? Just say the word.
Imagine strolling down old Osaka or whipping up a jet ski in Amsterdam’s canals for kicks. Besides the fun bits, Genie 3 might just help train robots or even dabble in AI research. Crazy potential, right?
Little hiccups for now. It’s not great with cramming in too many AI ‘agents’ doing their thing. And well, its real-world mimic game isn’t spot on. It kinda fumbles when it’s about representing real places perfectly, or keeping chat logs long.
But honestly, when you look at those unreal ‘real’ videos online right now, this is a leap. Next thing you know, we got Will Smith munching spaghetti but making it super interactive. Ah, the future—who’d have thought?
