There's no persistent world model; there's nothing sustained, consistent or high fidelity about this. Calling an element a world model doesn't make it so.
It's a blurry copy of existing games. That doesn't mean the tech isn't cool or fun, but it does mean that the claims are wildly overblown currently.
The direction this tech is heading seems pretty exciting: just uploading an image and instantly having a playable generative world to explore, sounds like the OASIS game from Ready Player One? :) even if it’s still rough around the edges, but imagine how much better it'll get over the next few weeks/months?
The thought of being to upload a single static image of some scene with a humanoid-like entity in it and then being able to infinitely walk around a procedurally generated world with the same theme is insanely cool.
Still glad I stumbled upon seeing this, regardless of whether it's a marketing tactic. The future is amazing.

Super cool feature that one can upload their own images and interact like a game! Fun examples from X: - https://x.com/chongdashu/status/1940655090127516017 - https://x.com/farfetched_ai/status/1940597724107493462 - https://x.com/the_carlosdp/status/1940657574535483742
Seems like super spammy gorilla marketing to me. Odd that the two positive commenters here have nearly zero karma or activity.
I mean, what if it is?

Buzzword soup.
Amazing! Imaging a future where everyone can create, play, and share their own games...
