Andy Coenen, AI-Researcher bei Google, hat \u2013 unter Zuhilfenahme von LLMs, Coding Agents, Bild­genera­toren und der Google Maps API f\u00fcr 3D-Ansichten \u2013 eine isometrische Pixelversion von New York City im Stil von Sim City 2000 und Rollercoaster Tycoon erzeugt:

\n

Growing up, I played a lot of video games, and my favorites were world building games like SimCity 2000 and Rollercoaster Tycoon. As a core millennial rapidly approaching middle age, I\u2019m a sucker for the nostalgic vibes of those late 90s / early 2000s games. As I stared out at the city, I couldn\u2019t help but imagine what it would look like in the style of those childhood memories.

\n

So here\u2019s the idea: I\u2019m going to make a giant isometric pixel-art map of New York City. And I\u2019m going to use it as an excuse to push hard on the limits of the latest and greatest generative models and coding agents.

Den Prozess hat er dabei ausf\u00fchrlich beschrieben und dabei insbesondere die Limitierung der Bildgeneratoren offengelegt, wie er selbst schreibt.

Am Seitenende gibt es dann eine inter­aktive Karten­anwendung, mit der ihr Isolated NYC heran­zoomen und entdecken k\u00f6nnt. (via Kottke)
