AI IN THE ARENA
AI Generates Entire Doom Game in Real-Time
Researchers at Google and Tel Aviv University have developed GameNGen, an AI model capable of generating real-time gameplay of the 1993 classic Doom using image synthesis techniques. By leveraging AI instead of traditional coding methods, this system "hallucinates" the game's frames as a continuous prediction task, potentially opening the door to AI-generated gaming worlds in the future.
Why It Matters?
GameNGen showcases how AI could revolutionize video game creation by allowing games to be generated through predictive AI rather than coded rules. This approach could drastically speed up game development and even open the door to AI-generated levels, characters, and gameplay, changing the way games are made and played.
Elon Musk Brings Collosus Supercomputer Online
Elon Musk's company xAI has brought online a new supercomputer named Colossus, powered by 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. The facility, located in Memphis, will double in size in the coming months to include an additional 50,000 upgraded GPUs.
Why It Matters??
This supercomputer represents a major leap in AI training power and highlights the massive investments being made in generative AI. However, concerns over its environmental impact and strain on local infrastructure raise questions about the balance between technological advancement and sustainability.
