Genie 4 runs DOOM: an office where every wall and computer is playing DOOM
emollick · x · 2026-10-28
Ethan Mollick shares a hilarious session of Google's Genie 4 world model running DOOM: "walking through a typical office but every computer is running DOOM and all of the walls are also running DOOM and also everything is DOOM." The improvised narrative spirals absurdly — "my coworker who is a demon appears," "he has a chaingun," "he gives me a bonus" — showcasing how the generated world improvises coherent yet ridiculous scenarios in real time.
