AI startup Oddysee’s new tool can generate photorealistic 3D worlds


AI startup Odyssey is developing an AI-powered tool that can transform text or an image into a 3D rendering.

A recent Wired investigation found that game studios like Activision Blizzard, which has laid off scores of workers, are using AI to cut corners, ramp up productivity, and compensate for attrition.
