🕹️ Grand Theft Auto: Cul-de-Sac Edition

Google’s latest AI trick turns Street View into a playable world, which is great news for people who zoom in on their ex’s neighborhood. 

Google AI Ultra subscribers (the $200 tier) can make interactive environments based on real Street View images. Pick a spot, choose a vibe and render the scene with Genie 3. That means your local coffee shop can become prehistoric, underwater or whatever else your imagination desires. 

Look for Project Genie in Google Labs, then use the Maps pin option to choose a location and get to building.
