Question I have is when will they be able to render something more then 30 seconds.
And how much will it cost? There has to be a HUGE amount of computing power behind this. As a video game developer I live in fear and anticipation.
Real nice prompting there, Google. It also still looks like a video game rendering.
Would be fun to muck around with world models. Are there any that I can try for under £200 p/m without being part of a special project?
My favorite kind of music.
> audio-like music
That's a hyphen. What's "audio-like music" -- music that is almost sound but not quite? Music made from raw audio? :-)
audio, e.g. music
audio — like music
Hyphens should be used to link compound/suffix words, not em dashes.
Yes, "-like" is commonly used as a suffix, in which case a hyphen is correct. But describing music as "audio-like" is clearly nonsense (music isn't "like" audio, it is audio), so that's not the sense in which it's being used here.
For clarity, the full sentence is:
> Genie 4 is natively multimodal, enabling audio-like music, ambient noises, and interactive dialogue to be simultaneously generated with the world.
audio: music, ...
Looks like a hiccup, which created an odd and ambiguous sentence.
