> it appears to have a promise of promptable game worlds

Is it a world if there’s no permanence?

We’ve seen demos like this for a while now (granted not as fast) but the core problem is continuity. (Or some kind of object permanence)

It’s a problem for image generators as well.

I’d be more interesting if that was any closer to being solved than to have a real time Minecraft screenshot generator.

I may have missed it, but I didn’t see anything about prompting. I’d be surprised if this model could generalize beyond Minecraft at all.

It was, about a year ago. It's a solved problem.


I haven’t seen any image generator maintain spatial consistency for more than a few seconds of video (maybe a min for runway actually)

Definitely nothing that maintains it for hours on end.

If you have, please link them. I’m very interested.
