Most people don’t understand how fast AI development is going. This is Image to 3D world 🤯

check out more of Ian’s work here 👇🏼

nah dude this is image to 3d + a LOT of manual work to make this as smooth and stitched together as is.

Please fill me in on the manual work. I just saw the post from Ian. What's the manual work you have to do?

The core technique is not AI but Gaussian Splatting. But AI is sure used as a part of this.

yes, but the combo is sick

world models will dominate soon with llms as communicators of what's happening inside that simulation box of the real world. The perfect partnership

absolutely agreed

This looks like shit

Uh-huh, and?

It’s not consistent though. If you turn around, you’ll see things have changed. It’s like a dream - everything is believable and yet inconsistent

@martin_casado And it’s only going to get better 👀

Look, it’s cool. But how does something like this have any value at all as we head down this path? Anybody can make it, countless will fill up the Internet with this kind of stuff. In short time is just not cool anymore, it’s just boring.

Is this World Labs?

yes correct

I haven’t seen one actual thing from AI that would stand the directors scrutiny

there is no visual consistency at all.

This is amazing @LinusEkenstam! Thanks for the share @martin_casado

we are going to be making worlds!🤯

Yeah, I definitely think we will be!

Normies think AI is Facebook posts of grandmas saying nobody wished them a happy 100th birthday. Meanwhile we have generated worlds and songs and videos that are indistinguishable from reality.

Updated for 2025

When can I explore it (and some generative AI characters with long-term memory) in VR?

check out @theworldlabs

Its insane Grok is getting better fast as well. The weight of the cat on the blanket is really good in this example

@LinusEkenstam Holo-deck has arrived !!!

It is a video, is it a true 3d environment?

It's actually crazy and confusing

When multi player?

Do people need to understand? AI can understand what AI is doing much faster than people and sell AI to AI so AI can AI to AI via AI, for the purpose of AI. Yeah? This AI chaos is tiring. It's clear that either humans are going away, or those machines will have to.

what are we using here...??

Just imagine all the tech jobs disappearing: Web designers Graphic artists Brand designers Video effects artists Video editors Game designers Game developers That's just a few.

The jump from images to 3D feels huge. The subway scene makes it real—seeing the space come alive clicks for me.

Do you know of a decent 3D obj ai-maker ?

this is cool well done

It's slop. wake me when it can do better than hand crafted

Looks like a game

It's amazing how far this technology has come in such a short time.

Game developers and others without jobs

These are chained gaussian spats generated by AI, it's cool, but it's not what people think. This is not as impressive as it looks.

Yep.

Nice
