So are these games actually playable, or is it generating a GIF of a theoretical game given a list of keyboard "inputs" that would take place?

I'm wondering if it's generating a runnable binary, or just a video.

This is talking about 2D platformer games and saying that the world model is actionable-controllable. I wouldnt be surprised if it's just a 2D platformer level where you can browse it WASD and maybe hit the walls with some pretend character.

People who started playing games during covid will probably think this is groundbreaking.

(we have already had this for a few decades, it's called "procedurally generated levels")

No not playable

Yes. At least it’s trying to.
