I was lucky enough to be an early tester, here's a brief video walking through the process of creating worlds, showing examples--walking on the moon, with Nasa photo as part of the prompt, being in 221B Baker street with Holmes and Watson, wandering through a night market in Taipei as a giant boba milk tea (note how the stalls are different, and sell different foods), and also exploring the setting of my award-nominated tabletop RPG.

It's an experimental research prototype, but it also feels like a hint of the future. Feel free to ask any questions.
I liked that first one and I hope someone creates one of going back to dinosaur age, i want to see that.
These are extremely impressive from a technological progression standpoint, and at the same time not at all compelling, in the same way AI images and LLM prose are and are not.
It's neat I guess that I can use a few words and generate the equivalent of an Unreal 5 asset flip and play around in it. Also I will never do that, much less pay some ongoing compute cost for each second I'm doing it.
