Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code

What they’ve done is flattened and encoded every aspect of the doom game into the model which lets you play a very limited amount just by traversing the latent space.

In a tiny and linear game like Doom that’s feasible… And a horrendous use of resources.

It doesn’t even actually do that. It’s a glitchy mess.

And a horrendous use of resources.

This was a stable diffusion model trained on hundreds of thousands of images. This is actually a pretty small training set and a pretty lightweight model to train.

Custom / novel SD models are created and shared by hobbyists all the time. It’s something you can do with a Gaming PC, so it’s not any worse a resource waste than gaming.

I’m betting Google didn’t throw a lot of money at the “get it to play Doom” guys anyway.
