This week on Adjunct Intelligence, Dale Leszczynski and Nick McIntosh work through one of the busiest weeks in recent AI history. World Labs' Marble is publicly available. Google DeepMind's Genie 3 is generating navigable photorealistic 720p worlds at 20–24 frames per second. Gemini Omni Flash has rolled out to the Gemini app, Flow, and YouTube Shorts for free, with multi-turn conversational video editing where the physics actually holds. Meanwhile, Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab published its first technical paper — interaction models, a full-duplex architecture deliberately built to keep a person in the loop. And Andrej Karpathy has quietly joined Anthropic. Three trajectories, all landing in front of educators at once.
