This looks interesting, but can someone explain to me how this is different from video generators using the previous frames as inputs to expand on the next frame?

Is this more than recursive video? If so, how?

See the demo on their homepage. Calling it a world simulator is a marketing gimmick. It's a worse video generator but you can interact with it in real time and direct the video a little bit. Next version of this thing will be worth looking, this one isnt.

None of these examples videos seem like the kind of “experiments” that they’re talking about simulating with these models.

I was expecting them to test a simple hypothesis and compare the model results to a real world test

It is not a world simulator, looks like a world fantasy.

For a minute I was like (spoiler alert) « wow the creepy sci-fi theories from the DEVS tv show is taking place »… then I looked up the video and that’s just video generation at this point
