the fundamental research direction of video models as world simulators. matched

It seemed like a consumer product instead. matched

And then they dropped Sora, and now they're not working on world models at all. matched

So why do you think they decided to drop it? matched

Yeah, I do wonder if like GTA 6 is just the last great piece of like human written software before like all future video games are kind of generated on the fly with stuff like Alice. matched

I'm not saying there won't be humans in the loop, but I'm saying matched

Yeah, like, you know, you won't need to like, you know, physically place like millions of different assets in a game matched

or anything. matched

Yeah, totally. matched

How does Atlas perform with like difficult physics stuff? matched

Like matched

example, if I wanted to do a simulation of a black hole or something, like would it be able to say like, oh, this is like a scenario where like normal object collisions don't really apply. matched

You'll need to do like spaghettification matched

if you think it wouldn't do a black hole correctly now, like what more would be required in order to get it to handle all kinds of edge cases in matched

we're talking about quantum stuff. matched

Yeah, absolutely. matched

Yeah, I can't wait to see all of the amazing stuff that people are going to do with Atlas once it's fully out into the world. matched

Yeah. matched

Justin, thanks so much for coming on MTS. matched
