Genie 3 (at a prototype level) achieves the goal she describes: a controllable world model with consistency and realistic physics. Its sibling Veo 3 even demonstrates some [spatial problem-solving ability](https://video-zero-shot.github.io/). Genie and Veo are definitely closer to her vision than anything World Labs has released publicly.
However, she does not mention Google's models at all. This omission makes the blog feel very much like an ad for her company rather than a good-faith guide for the field.
Also Gemini ER, which can kinda just work, spatially, in the real world:
