I was scraping over 30 traffic cameras in NYC last night to capture the celebrations around the city. Here are the highlights!!

Some of the later clips are so cool, you can literally see the minute the Knicks win and the fans flood the streets 🏀🗽

@WONF4W Kind of a … disingenuous take in the article.

A GUY AT GOOGLE DEEPMIND MADE AN ISOMETRIC PIXEL-ART MAP OF NEW YORK CITY AND PUT IT ON THE OPEN WEB FOR FREE

it's called https://t.co/8fAASvEmXT

you open the tab and the city is just sitting there in classic SimCity 2000 isometric pixel art. you scroll. and it keeps going. and going.

i zoomed in on midtown and i could read the H&M signage in times square. in red. as actual pixel-art letters on the side of a building.

i could see the crystalline spire of the Bank of America Tower poking out of a clump of skyscrapers. individual rooftop HVAC units. tiny green roof gardens. the little driveway loops in front of the hotels.

he estimates the map needs roughly 40,000 tiles. nothing is a placeholder.

the guy who made it is Andy Coenen, a senior staff engineer at Google DeepMind. he is not a pixel artist. by his own admission he is "a former electronic musician."

what he actually did is kind of insane:

> pulled NYC's geometry from the Google Maps 3D tiles API

> fine-tuned an open-source image model (Qwen-Image-Edit) on ~40 hand-paired examples of "satellite tile → pixel art tile"

> spun up 50 parallel instances on rented GPUs and generated tens of thousands of tiles in a few hours

> the fine-tune cost him 12 bucks

his own stated mission for the project, verbatim, is one sentence: "what's possible now that was impossible before?"

apparently the answer is "one engineer can pixel-art most of a metropolis for the price of a sandwich."

and the wildest part to me is he didn't sell it. no signup. no paywall. no NFT. you open the URL and the city is yours to wander.

the post landed at 1,325 points on Hacker News and topped bestofshowhn's 2026 list.

we live in a timeline where a senior engineer at one of the largest AI labs on earth spent his nights pixel-arting Manhattan for fun and then gave it away.

the internet is healing.
