Hi everyone,

AI is affecting everything, including app development and video games, but not in the way you think.

App development - not only can it code for you, but if can code FULL apps, with deployment and infrastructure.

Video games - check out the Mario story underneath - using AI diffusion models to create video games based on human movements.

Let’s get right into it.

Replit’s AI Agent Empowers Software Development

Intelligence: Replit, a software development platform, has launched an AI agent capable of building entire applications autonomously, aiming to democratize software creation and supercharge human creativity.

• Replit's AI agent is a proactive system that operates with a high degree of independence, making decisions and executing complex tasks without constant user input.

• The AI agent can reason through a task, write code, set up environments, and manage deployments, effectively functioning as an intern software developer.

• Replit's platform is unique in its ability to handle not only code generation but also the infrastructure and deployment side of the development process.

Significance: This development could significantly democratize software development, allowing entrepreneurs to prototype ideas faster and researchers to build custom tools without extensive coding knowledge.

Researchers Develop AI Model that Simulates Super Mario Bros. Gameplay

Intelligence: Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model called MarioVGG, which can generate video of Super Mario Bros. gameplay based on user inputs, despite its current limitations.

• MarioVGG was trained on a dataset of over 737,000 individual frames of Super Mario Bros. gameplay.

• The AI model was designed to respond to two potential inputs: "run right" and "run right and jump".

• After training, the model uses a convolution and denoising process to generate new video frames from a static starting image and a text input.

• MarioVGG is currently unable to generate real-time videos, taking six seconds to create a six-frame video sequence.

Significance: This represents a step towards creating reliable and controllable video game generators. Although MarioVGG still has limitations, its ability to simulate gameplay dynamics and infer game physics suggests future advancements in AI video generation.
