Streaming Live: MarI/O - AI playing Super Mario Bros

quote [ (From the MarI/O FAQ)
Q: What is this? / What's the point of this?
A: It's a self-learning AI (Artificial Intelligence) made by SethBling that is emulating evolution to get through the game "super mario bros" one level at a time. The point is to see just how far this AI can make it in the game. ]

Been watching this the last half hour or so. Slow but fascinating to observe the machine learning.

Surprisingly interesting!

Finally something that plays the game worse than my mom does.

It's rather interesting; her reflexes aren't bad for real-world things, but my brother and I have been playing video games since SMB was current-gen, and she's never been able to translate a controller or keyboard into on-screen actions for anything that requires quick reactions. She can type and use a computer just fine, but that skill is foreign to her.

Nice! Saw this when SethBling originally released his vids. Now I feel silly for not doing this like I wanted to.

Teach a machine how to play Bubble Bobble!

That fuckin game.

I "beat it" all by myself, was so proud only to find out later that I needed to do it with a friend to ACTUALLY beat it.

Goddamn it Taito.

Yeah, I remember that moment. But I'm sitting here reading your comment while wearing a Bubble Bobble t-shirt, which goes to prove that you always love the ones that hurt.

My sister and I would spend hours trying to beat that game. IIRC the closest we got was somewhere around level 80 on the second run through "super" mode of the game.

It was the most bonding moment my brother and I ever had. He needed me and I needed him to get the "good" ending.

Since its an evolution based system, does that make it similar to genetic cars?

According to this explanation video, the program is based on the NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmented Topologies) genetic algorithm.

To be really interesting, the AI should be playing a coin-op machine, frantically mining the bitcoins to continue the game.

(given the learning curve, it would eventually spark the ultimate ecological apocalypse)
