Can Genie 3 run Doom?

"Doom, but the walls are made entirely out of screens also running Doom, featuring the marine from Doom but also his head is a screen running Doom"

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Thrilled to launch Project Genie, an experimental prototype of the world's most advanced world model. Create entire playable worlds to explore in real-time just from a simple text prompt - kind of mindblowing really! Available to Ultra subs in the US for now - have fun exploring!

🚨NEW LABS EXPERIMENT🚨

Introducing Project Genie, an experimental prototype that lets you create and explore infinitely diverse worlds! Prompt with images or text to create a living, expanding world that builds itself in real-time around you.

Access is rolling out today to Google AI Ultra subscribers (US only, 18+)

Project Genie is rolling out for AI Ultra members in the USA. It's an experimental tool that allows you to create and explore infinite virtual worlds, and I've never seen anything like this. It's still early, but it's already unreal.

Nano Banana Pro + Project Genie = My low-poly cowboy dreams fulfilled.

🧵Here’s how I did it

[Google Flow @FlowbyGoogle]

Starting today for Google AI Ultra subscribers, creating with Nano Banana Pro in Flow means mastering the elements and the lens with precision and control.

Watch @sanchitsawaria break down how to transform a single static frame into a cinematic shot: ✅ Change focus to guide the viewer's eye ✅ Prompt "make it rain" for photo-accurate physics ✅ Animate using first and last frame while keeping the subject consistent.

Control the weather. Direct the camera.

Today, we’re launching our newest gen AI experiment in @labsdotgoogle: Whisk. Instead of generating images with long, detailed text prompts, Whisk lets you prompt with images. Simply drag in images, and start creating.

Using NotebookLM to remember everything you've read.
On Hard Fork I talked about my collection of 8K quotes. I have them in a single notebook which effectively gives me a personalized AI grounded in the most important ideas I've read.
Here's how to build your own version...

A lot of folks have asked how I get 8,000 quotes into a single notebook, when currently notebooks are limited to only 50 sources. The key thing is that each source can have up to 500,000 words in it, so if you can compile your quotes into giant documents, you can easily fit a quote collection of that size into a single notebook. (You could almost have 80,000 quotes in fact!)
1. Use e-readers to highlight passages in books you read.
2. Use the amazing service @ReadWise to collect and organize all your quotations in one place. (They can be web clippings as well.)
3. When you have your quotes imported into ReadWise, choose the ones you want to add to a notebook (or select them all) and use Readwise's Export to Docs feature, which will format each quote so that it works brilliantly inside of NotebookLM. (Author, title, and page number will be attached to each quote.)
4. Once those docs have been created, add them all as sources to your "reading history" notebook

Once you have those sources loaded, you can ask questions, brainstorm, explore new ideas -- all with an AI that has effectively read everything significant that you've read. And of course, you can always click on citations to jump back directly to the original quotes themselves.

In this thread I've posted a few screengrabs of the range of queries you can use in a notebook stocked with your reading history...

Introducing Veo: our most capable generative video model. 🎥

It can create high-quality, 1080p clips that can go beyond 60 seconds.

From photorealism to surrealism and animation, it can tackle a range of cinematic styles. 🧵 #GoogleIO

People of Seattle! This Thursday…

[Steven Johnson @stevenbjohnson]

I wrote up a detailed guide for using NotebookLM as a research tool, integrating both web clips and book quotations as sources. Having a single notebook with 7,000 quotes from books I've read over the years has transformed the way I research and write. 🧵⬇️

Yeah, so @GoogleDeepMind ImageFX generated these and I'm honestly pretty blown away.
