Skybox AI | Game Development | Adam B. Levine, Blockade Labs
I spoke with Adam B. Levine, cofounder of Blockade Labs, the company responsible for the generative skybox AI that can create 3D skyboxes from text prompts or sketches. One of the best applications of this technology is created environments for use in game engines like Unity and Unreal. We explored some demos of what this can do covered, and discussed the future of games, creativity and technology.
Beyond the technology and its applications, we discussed the merits of decentralized AI vs. decentralized approaches ] (i.e., open-source models like Stable Diffusion compared to API-centric models like OpenAI).
