Click and drag through a life in Syria shaped by revolution, imprisonment, escape, and starting again.

So instead of losing 4 hours watching YouTube shorts, I’ll be legally trapped inside an interactive simulation? Count me in. 🌀

I'd love that future world. My favorite physical exhibition of the last decade was "L'Oublier et Accélérer" at the Galifet Foundation in Aix-en-Provence.

I'm planning to play around tonight (checked out the site). Love the concept! Btw, the layout of this looks a looks a lot like YouTube. I always thought something like this (a category successor) would look very different from legacy platforms. Not criticism, just a thought.

I guess you can take advantage of familiarity. Not everything has to be reinvented.

In 2026, AI world models will take the spotlight in storytelling - powering new types of interactive experiences & digital economies not seen before World models are progressing rapidly - Marble World Labs and Genie 3 Google DeepMind already generate 3D environments from text prompts, allowing users to explore them as if they were video games As creators adopt these tools, new storytelling formats will emerge. One genre I'm excited about is "generative Minecraft" - where players co-create virtual worlds together by vibe coding with world models. Game mechanics could be programmable with natural language - ex. "create a paintbrush that changes the color of anything I touch to pink" World models will also likely give rise to not just a single game, but an entire new category of generative world experiences - you could have a horror experience where you’re hiding from generated monsters, or a D&D experience where you’re roaming an infinite fantasy world with friends And with a common base model for the underlying worlds, these experiences could be inter-connected in a multiverse we could only dream about previously in science fiction A key affordance here is the role of consumers as co-creators - you can wander the multiverse as a tourist, or break out your pickaxe and become a creator anytime. This in turn would give rise to new digital economies - with creators making a living building and selling interoperable assets, serving as a guide for new players, etc The opportunity is enormous - a new category of generative worlds would not only create a new storytelling medium unlike any we’ve seen before, but also be rich training grounds for agents, robotics, and AGI If you’re excited about building new interactive experiences or the virtual economy stack with world models - we’d love to hear from you!
