This is game engine 2.0. Some day, all the complexity of UE5 will be absorbed by a data-driven blob of attention weights. Those weights take as input game controller commands and directly animate a spacetime chunk of pixels.

Evaluation is the hardest problem for physical AI systems: do you crash test cars every time you debug a new FSD build? Traditional game engine (sim 1.0) is an alternative, but it’s not possible to hard-code all edge cases. A neural net-based sim 2.0 is purely programmed by data,”” / X https://x.com/DrJimFan/status/1952755998197948667
