Says more about the investors investing in them than anything else.
Now they’ll also damage video games with AI.
All this tool does is create interactable videos, rendering frames as you “move”.
It’s not actually a game, there’s no plot, no functionality and no gameplay, unless you enjoy walking on an empty space with little interactability. All it has going on is a novelty factor.
Basically, Google has created 90s FMV videos again. But shittier.

Good time to buy the dip, I guess, lol.
Hey dum dum investors- everyone that actually plays games instantly knows how bad an idea this is.
Let it fall. I’ll invest more in Nintendo.
It was already melting down.
investors are idiots.
It’s going to take a few good hard kicks in the wallet for corporations to realize people hate AI.
Virtual worlds in 720p you can move around in for 60 seconds. Genie 3 can actually do a little bit longer, a couple of minutes. But then it breaks down and loses permanence. We’re still a far cry from any actual kind of playable game.
As far as I can tell these are more procedural 3D movies where the viewer can choose the camera angle / position. This can barely be called a game.
Good luck with AI game development. I won’t hold my breath on it.
Is anyone actually surprised? The concepts of AI and gaming have been intertwined in my mind since 2010. Of course companies (and gamers) are going to jump all over NPCs that don’t need scripts or voice actors, visual elements and soundtracks that don’t require artists, and under the hood code that doesn’t require a team of developers.
People have been saying „I have this really cool idea for a game…“ since video games first existed. Eventually they will have the power to make their ideas reality.
An interesting prototype which will not go anywhere without many fundamental changes. Definitely worth crashing the economy over. Just $10B more and we’ll get to AGI, bro, I promise. No, really, look at all this demoware!
this is just the story about why it dropped. i genuinely think people don’t give af, but someone wanted to pull money from these companies and also boost that whole AI story
I genuinely do not understand what the fuck the stock market is doing for the last 5 years. It feels like nothing is „valued“. Everything is just priced with vibes. And the big investors can do whatever they want anyway because they have so much money they can swing the whole market.
Back to the topic. AI being great for creating games would only be good for the game devs. The game devs are devs not because they can type some codes. It’s because they know how to make a game. Coding is just a means to do it.
I feel like it’s the same for many industries tho. These „experts“ somehow think you can just have an AI and that will replace a whole damn company. For most things even if the AI is capable of doing it, most people would not know how to do it with AI. And the ones who would do the best with AI as a tool in that industry would be those who are already in the industry. Because they know what they would need AI to solve and help. I feel like this should be a very easy to understand concept. I don’t know what the fuck and how the fuck it seems all these capitals are not getting it.
Good time to buy stocks for those companies
Investors are stupid as fuck. This is a tech demo of a new kind of game engine. If anything it will be used by game studios. I don’t believe this will ever be handed out to end users directly as a product. Running this is probably very expensive, much more than creating stupid slob videos.
