Genuinely technically impressive, but I have a weird issue with calling these world simulator models. To me, they're video game simulator models.
I've only ever seen demos of these models where things happen from a first-person or 3rd-person perspective, often in the sort of context where you are controlling some sort of playable avatar. I've never seen a demo where they prompted a model to simulate a forest ecology and it simulated the complex interplay of life.
Hence, it feels like a video game simulator, or put another way, a simulator of a simulator of a world model.
