Evidence Quote

generative architecture simply do not work for producing videos you may have seen video generation systems that produce pretty amazing stuff there's a lot of hacks that go be Beyond them uh behind them and they don't really understand physics um they don't need to they just need to to predict pretty pictures they don't need to actually have kind of accurate model of the world
