A big chunk of the right side of castle disappeared, including catapult, when camera turned back while flying on dragon. See 1:25 to 1:29. I was not expecting this to happen in a "world model".

The 80's Japanese train station clip also had the conductor speaking clear english in an accent I can't quite place. Slight British tinge to it but not really? Not sure. The ambient audio also makes no sense.
I've seen weird stuff in images that OpenAI sends me in it's promotional emails too. I would think that if you were trying to show off you'd make sure there's none of these obvious AI issues in what you choose to show off with. Maybe they don't really care? "Gemini choose 10 scenes that would be impressive for our announcement and add them to the post."
The accent is received pronunciation, like Tom Hiddleston. It sounds like Tom's voice. Perfectly normal British accent.
That entire clip looks like it's straight out of a complete bargain-bin videogame. The weird smoothness of the ride, the pivot in mid air, the wings apparently don't have collision with the poles they fly past.
Definitely wouldn't have been one of my picks to show off my fancy new model.
Getting good quality dragon POV flight data for SFT must be really hard.
the goal posts have definitely moved since the original will smith spaghetti video huh?
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong "bargain-bin videogame" is a wild step up from "accidental amorphous horrors that defy description". It just jumped out to me as looking unusually bad compared to the other samples they provided. The stained glass deer, for example, was awesome.
The labs are the ones moving them. We're all just measuring against their own, exponentially growing, claims.
There's also a whole extra bonus castle that appears to the left when the camera looks left around 0:22. Which is amusing both because it wasn't there on the initial approach, and also because nobody puts two castles each with their own distinct curtain walls right next to each other like that.
"Storm the castle!"
"Which one!?"
The oddest thing about this, to me at least, is that they pick that as their showcase. Did they themselves not notice? Or did they think their potential customers wouldn’t? Not sure really which of the two is worse.
Neither one: I think this is the best output they could get.
customers? You can buy Genie? It's still very much in tech preview, research phase.
In the original dragon clip, at 0:29 we can see a square tower in the right side of the screen
As he passes by the tower, it becomes round, by 0:40
It is always incredible to me how quickly we go from "this entire technology is pure science fiction" to "nitpicking over details"
It's not, it's just that hacker news is a hyperbolic bikeshedding chamber.
I am disappointed mainly because current video models are way more consistent these days. This being a new release, I was expecting more than few seconds of consistency in the scenes.
I was under the impression he has already fly past the catapult.
