On October 7, Google launched the web platform Playground, where users can describe game ideas in natural language and obtain playable, shareable game versions without writing code. Users can also continue to adjust physical effects, rules, characters, or scenes through dialogue and share their creations via links. This tool is currently open to users over 18 in the United States, with creation permissions tiered according to the user's Google AI subscription level.Games in Playground can run in browsers on mobile phones and laptops. Creators can set their works to private or publish them to the community gallery, and all games must pass a security review, with some categories supporting leaderboards and multiplayer modes. Google refers to it as "an early experiment," and the announcement did not disclose pricing or specify which AI models power the tool.The upgrade path points to Unity Spark, and Google stated that Playground will soon integrate this tool to meet the needs of creators requiring professional-level mechanics and high-fidelity 3D. In a joint statement, Google and Unity announced that Spark will launch later this year, with closed testing starting soon. Previously, DeepMind released the Genie model in 2024, and in January, Google opened Project Genie based on Genie 3 to users of the AI Ultra subscription in the United States.

Polymarket's CEO Shayne Coplan stated during a fireside chat at the Token2049 conference in Singapore that cryptocurrency trading is evolving into a game of "irrational exuberance," where traders compete to be the first to find the next hundredfold token. He pointed out that people think they are buying something valuable, but in reality, it is worthless; however, as long as there is a possibility of it rising to 100 times, they want to sell before it goes to zero. Coplan mentioned that some traders can gain considerable wealth through this strategy, but it is essentially a game of "irrational exuberance and hot potato," where rising asset prices will eventually fall back.Coplan indicated that the continuous growth of Polymarket's user base shows that some traders are looking for betting opportunities with more predictable odds, rather than the next skyrocketing cryptocurrency. He explained that trading these markets on Polymarket does not have exponential upside potential, but informed traders will continue to place bets on future events with more predictable odds. According to data from DefiLlama, Polymarket is the second-largest prediction market, with a trading volume of $1.21 billion in the past seven days, while the largest market, Kalshi, had $2.3 billion.The growth of prediction markets has also attracted more attention from U.S. regulators.
