Then they need to sell _billions_ of dollars worth of these worlds to ... game studios? In order for this valuation to make sense they need to convince the majority of major game studios to spend all their world creation budget solely on this company. Seems unrealistic but I guess only time can tell.


if they fulfill the mission it will apply to domains other than games like movies, robotics, architecture...


Good point, that's fair there are more use cases. IDK about architecture, typically you want more structure/determinism instead of probabilistic generation. Overall this is very cool. I like the consistency it has and it does generally amaze me nonetheless. But you gotta admit selling a billion dollars of anything is really hard. That is three times the budget of the highest budget movie ever created! (avengers endgame at 356 million). It is almost the ENTIRE budget of the biggest game ever, grand theft auto six.


And everyone will be building these. China will open source dozens of them.


Robotics?


Need to generate environments for simulation and training
