Image created with gemini-2.5-flash-image with claude-sonnet-4-5. Image prompt: Minimalist editorial illustration of a simple robotic arm in thick black hand-drawn line art with slight wobble, iconic side view showing joints as circles and segments as rectangles, positioned on warm off-white background with subtle paper grain, Anthropic style, lots of negative space, clean and iconic.

Fun to turn paintings into scenes I can walk around in using Genie 3: here are the works of Giorgio de Chirico, Munch, Turner, and the Bayeux Tapestry. I can move freely around the scenes, and, yes, they are a little weird, but its real-time dynamic image creation by the AI.”” https://x.com/emollick/status/2017852070620025250

Much debate over Genie vs 3D engines. You can have both – the control of 3D scene graphs + the creativity of generative ai. Wrote this in 2024 breaking down the vision. The models are almost there. Now just imagine if Unreal / Unity productized this.”” https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/2018119240612536587
The capabilities of Genie 3 are strange and surprising. Sometimes NPCs are animated & move around & react, but I can’t seem to control that happening. Sometimes objects have physical properties like stretching or tearing. The world in the world model peeks through at odd times.”” https://x.com/emollick/status/2017805206419918883
Took an old photo of a WWI battlecruiser, gave it to Genie 3, and prompted it to let me play as a torpedo boat at the Battle of Jutland.
