The boundaries make it pretty obvious how flat this world still is and even on blurring the edges it's obvious there really isn't anything to the models. This is cool for sure, and I can see it being useful for better photogrammetry and assisting in building out worlds, but it isn't going to suddenly be used to make entire game worlds on its own.


Yeah I thought the same and was immediately disappointed that you could only step a tiny bit forwards.

BUT, you can turn around and see something that I presume was entirely generated. So I don't think it is just doing some clever tricks to make the photo look 3D, but also "infilling" what is behind the camera too. That is kinda cool.

I'd love to see this improved so I can walk around some more though, to see what is down those alleys etc.


I’m sure It’ll improve. I imagine, the further from the input image the more the model has to make up stuff. Gen-AI video models are limited to a few seconds. In 3D you’re constrained to a volume


Happened to me too- my joints are still messed up. Really wish doctors did a better job informing you before putting you on some random antibiotic that can cause so much damage in the body.


it's 9 years later if I jog for like 1 minute (which I can't really even do) I still have severe pain in my ankles and electric shock sensations in my feet. It never went away. Permanent damage.

I used to be able to just run forever and never have any pain. Just 1 week prior to Ciprofloxacin.


It's sad to hear these stories. There seem to be so many of them online, which you can find if you search for "floxies".

I wonder when medicine will catch up and recognise the danger of fluoroquinolones. I've heard that in the US they have a "black box warning" on them. In the UK where I live the only warning you get is from your GP that you might experience tendonitis, and if that happens to stop taking the medication. No warning of life altering and crippling illness.

I was given two courses of Ofloxacin back-to-back in 2019. After four years of being the most ill I hope I will ever be, I am now finally starting to feel normal again. My symptoms were chronic fatigue, chronic gastritis, inflamed liver, liver cirrhosis, crippling anxiety (including derealisation), and inability to eat most things without horrendous bloating and brain fog.

No doctor I spoke with would correlate my illnesses with Ofloxacin, and all considered the fact that my symptoms began with my prescription as nothing more than coincidence.

My advice is never, ever take a fluoroquinolone antibiotic unless absolutely necessary. I certainly will never touch them again unless I am in mortal danger and all other options have been exhausted. They should not be handed out so carelessly.


Another 'floxie' here.

While mine was 'mild' it was still scary as I was prescribed Cipro along with an NSAID which is contradicted in the Cipro literature.

My issues were the joint and tendon pain to an extent, but mostly neuropathy related like tingling, feeling 'static' all over, twitching muscles/spasms, etc. I also had the anxiety, derealization and digestive issues.

Eventually I started feeling better (reading recovery stories online helped) and today only have minor issues such as occasional joint pain, inability to tolerate NSAIDs, on/off digestive issues, and rarely the nerve issues. I can walk long distances, but do find exercising to be a struggle still.

Like you, I tried with a doctor once and just gave up. I have a little warning note in my wallet not to administer any FQs outside of life saving requirements.

It's sad that to this date, they are still handed out like candy for the slightest suspected infection when there are plenty of better tolerated and less dangerous alternatives.


if you can't exercise really that's not mild


Really hoping that GTA 6 Online uses dedicated servers. It's not that expensive, and lets you have the option of being more authoritative with clients.


This is very likely, not to aid player experience but so that they can make even more money through grindy in-game currency and microtransactions.
