🕹️ AI creates DOOM video game in real-time

The Rundown: Google researchers just developed GameNGen, an AI system that can simulate the classic game DOOM in real-time, running at over 20 frames per second and producing visuals nearly indistinguishable from the original game.

The details:

• GameNGen produces playable gameplay at 20 frames per second on a single chip, with each frame predicted by a diffusion model.

• The AI was trained on 900M frames of gameplay data, resulting in 3-second clips almost indistinguishable from the actual game by playtesters.

• Running on a single TPU, GameNGen handles Doom's 3D environments and fast-paced action without traditional game engine components.

• In tests, human raters could barely distinguish between short clips of the AI simulation and the actual game.

Why it matters: GameNGen is the first AI model that can generate a complex and playable video game in real-time without any underlying real game engine. We’re at the fascinating time where soon, AI will be able to create entire games on the fly, personalized to each player.

OPENAI

💰 OpenAI raises at $100B valuation

The Rundown: OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise a new funding round at a valuation exceeding $100 billion, led by Thrive Capital, with Microsoft also expected to participate.

The details:

• The potential valuation of over $100 billion would be significantly higher than OpenAI’s previous $86 billion valuation.

• Thrive Capital is expected to invest around $1 billion in this round.

• OpenAI’s annualized revenue reportedly surpassed $3.4 billion earlier this year.

• The company is still, however, projected to lose nearly $5 billion by the end of the year and has already spent $8.5 billion on AI training and staffing.

Why it matters: Building AI is expensive, and raising billions of dollars at a $100B+ valuation would silence OpenAI’s critics who insist that the company is on its downfall. The increased valuation also suggests that the company has potential hidden breakthroughs behind the scenes, such as Project Strawberry and Orion.

AI TRAINING

✉️ Automate LinkedIn outreach with AI

The Rundown: Zapier Central allows users to create personalized email drafts based on LinkedIn profiles in seconds with AI, automating your outreach process.

Step-by-step:

1. Go to Zapier Central and create a new assistant.

2. Set up instructions for drafting emails based on LinkedIn profiles.

3. Install the Zapier Central Chrome extension.

4. On a LinkedIn profile, click the Zapier Central icon and select your assistant.

5. Type a brief instruction like "Create a draft about my product for this user", review the generated draft, and customize as needed.

Pro tip: Experiment with different instructions to refine your assistant's outputs to personalize it before sending.

AI RESEARCH

🧪 AI spots cancer earlier than ever

The Rundown: Researchers recently developed an AI tool called AINU that can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells and detect early stages of viral infection, by analyzing high-resolution images of cell nuclei.

The details:

• AINU uses a convolutional neural network to analyze images captured by STORM microscopy, which offers nanoscale resolution.

• The AI can detect structural changes in cells as small as 20 nanometers, 5,000 times smaller than a human hair's width.

• AINU also detected viral infections (herpes simplex virus type-1) just one hour after infection by observing subtle changes in DNA packing.

• The tool can accurately identify stem cells too, which could accelerate stem cell research without relying on animal testing.

Why it matters: Yesterday, researchers revealed an AI tool to help with early dementia detection, and now AI is detecting cancer cells at a nanoscale level. Clinical applications may be years away, but AI healthcare breakthroughs like AINU are only accelerating — and will dramatically revolutionize scientific research in the coming years.
