    Just like being in a dream. Trying to run towards "that hill over there" only for it to get further away as you take each step, or it disappear when you take your eyes off it for a second. It's astonishing to have that very private experience (that I've never really put into words or shared with another person) be rendered in front of me by a neural net.

    Watching this era of AI advancement play out is like stepping through a museum of the inner workings of your mind.

    The best experience? I guess seeing this message technically is an experience.

    Shame they didn't make a website for people to use though. Oh well, next tab!

    It's fascinating how walking backward will completely make it forget the previous locations and sometimes even change biomes entirely. Anyway it's still insane that we can do all of this in real time.

    "Diffusion Models Are Real-Time Game Engines" was a paper from August 2024. How am I playing a real time AI generated game in my browser in 2024? I did try uploading a random image of a random flow chart I had, and it ended up being mostly noise... but still, how?

    Thanks for making this playable. I have seen videos of it, but thought I had to wait for years until I can experience it.

    The future will be wild. "Hey ChatGPT, lets play Counterstrike on the Enterprise-D. Counter-Terrorists agains Spongebobs"

    The lack of object permanence is fairly interesting if you turn 360 deg
