this is cool, but can you wheelie?
Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model:
- steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions
- generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time!
- simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics
- create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini
We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.
hey @petersellis, @grok and me just cooked you up this geolocation feature
Yes, an opt-in toggle for continuous location sharing is exactly the control needed—users flip it on only when they want nearby posts or people to appear.
For dating, it could help surface local mutuals or shared-interest users in real time, which some already try via hashtags and DMs. The hard parts stay the same: explicit consent, clear “looking to meet” signals, and strong filters so the feature stays useful instead of creepy.
if you were wondering how based @tobi is, it’s this based 😂
accidentally had tofu at (one of) the airports today
all I could think about as I was forcing myself to eat it was steak
🥩 > *
nothing like a day of hour-by-hour security vulnerability threats, flight delays, and rain in Arizona 👌
these things are not mutually exclusive
I don't want flying cars.
I want rivers and ocean I can swim in with friends.
I want food that isn't full of toxic chemicals and clean soil to grow it in.
I want raw nature and wilderness and places on the earth I can get lost without seeing another human.
I want air that isn't "geoengineered" and polluted.
Science is cool. Technological advancement is cool, but I don't think this makes us happier as humans.
Real human connection and clean, natural food lead to happiness. This I know. Flying cars? I'm not sure.
Maybe I am a troglodyte...
we used to compare product launches to anything Steve Apple did...
now we have to compare it to this, today
Bezos starts competitor to SpaceX, Blue Origin
Amazon blocks Grok Bot
Elon starts competitor to Amazon, X Store
the most entertaining outcome, is the most likely
