I Tested Google's Genie 3... AI Game Engines Are HERE!

Today is the day. Google DeepMind just shipped playable reality. In this video, I’m going hands-on with early access to Genie 3, Google DeepMind’s revolutionary world model that turns text prompts and images into interactive, 3D simulations. Unlike standard video or image generators, Genie 3 allows you to literally step inside a photo and walk through a universe created on the fly. Many thanks to the Google DeepMind homies for the early access. I also sit down with the team at Google DeepMind—Jack Parker-Holder and Diego Rivas—to discuss how this changes the game for creators, the emergent physics of these worlds, and what’s coming next for the platform. As of today, early access is officially live for Google Ultra users in the US!
