I had to skip like 40% of the video because he wastes time talking about things completely unrelated to the project. I poorly assumed that based on the title we would get to see some sort of showcase of the progress done on the united states, not just more rallying and a showcase of half of half of new york city specifically
@@jc_art_ It is a monumental museum based on real life. May as well talk about it. ... ... ... ... But I do understand the sentiment of "I don't want a fking history lesson, I just wanna see pretty blocks"
@@persnicketyVC yeah i get it, but ive watched all of these videos as they came out, and over time it gets annoying. This video is especially worse because the title (what i came for) has nothing to do with the video.
7% in 3 years means that if it continues at the exact same pace you'll be done with new york in 48 years. (Actually it's 39.85 after I verified my math. I must've missed a number somewhere in my original calculation)
@@HOWTODOEVERYTHING101 not just computing technology and AI, I'm assuming they're constantly putting work into improving the workflow of building, plugins are improving, general methods will improve over time, and individial builders also get faster with every plot they complete, so I wouldn't be surprised if in only one or two years they make progress twice as fast as now
@@stargazer-elite there is no shot they didnt disable it, but it would be funny if every flag in the game was burnable, but the US's flag specifically is both flammable and majorly explosive.
Skępe in Poland is 9% completed (Thats actually a town, but in poland there are no 2 words "city" and "town", there are big and small towns. Instead are villages and towns, Skępe is a town, and it is probably the most finished settlement which has a Town privileges) it is more done by percentage, 2 %points more finished.
Know the feeling, germany is the same. Its just Stadt. Wether its small or large is irrelevant. Over time we have gotten words like "Großstadt" which would be city" and "Kleinstadt" which would be "Town" but overall barely anyone uses them for anything specifically and everyone just says "Stadt" There are even communities of smaller towns which banded together to form a city of their own. They are entirely disconnected mind you with several kms inbetween each part of the "city" with nothing but empty space/nature and some farms but for some reason it counts.
Very commendable, but there's just no possible way to get every underground bit. There are most certainly hidden rooms, bunkers, and corridors lost to time that will most certainly never get rediscovered again. It's incredible you're putting in the effort to tho. Don't forget all the old, forgotten tunnels and such in European countries too then. Those ones are even more ancient since they'd have been there for thousands of years, like the Knights Templar locations. Or lost civilisations.
@@1tsKayne these lost templar knight locations and civilizations this guy is talking about are nonsense so no worries. This commenter has just watched too many conspiracy theories or is too young to critically think about them. Templar knights are overrepresented in literature and pop culture and many myths and legends come from them during the crusade period, this is because of romanticization of the period. but they did not really leave any significant archaeological footprint, because, you know, they were just a small group of knights with financial power. So no hidden holy relics in secret caves like the commenter thinks about are a thing. Thats just something from movies and pop culture. But dont get me wrong! Archaeologists do find holy relics! Although it is very very very rare. One was found earlier this year but has yet to have been identified, but they are not found in holy caves, but just in the ground like a trash pit in this case. And the “lost civilizations”, this commenter had watched too many Atlantis conspiracy theories. Even if the commenter means “lost cities” that are now part of the archaeological record in Europe, they will be covered in soil and no open space will be left in those unless with some sites in desert-like climates where they live in caves but that is not in Europe, so no. The Build the Earth Project had nothing to worry about and I’m confused why that comment got a 100 likes:) hope I helped answer your question!
I didnt realize fully the scale of new york as ive never been, but I went on the server and it HUGE, great work. I did a plot, doing my part. best of luck build the earth team :)
Insane progress you’re making here. It’s very cool to be able to see my own house in some of these shots of New York! There are many many different websites old and new that detail the deep dark tunnels explored by only some people and I hope you’ll be able to compile them all. It’ll be amazing to see how it all comes together!
Its 48th by population. Its a great way to show how the rest of the world can be made and with a city that is somewhat familiar to the people working on the project assuming most of them are from the U.S. Satellite images for the U.S are really detailed too. It'll be interesting to see how they'll make the huge cities in Asia.
Your quantifiable number of tim left to finish New York is roughly 30 more years. But I expect that as time goes on, the speed at which projects are completed will only get faster with new innovations. So I also expect that it'll be done much faster than that.
You know it put an idea in my head. When you mention so many bits and pieces being integrated into what a city or town actually is, like secret rooms or tunnels or basements. You should have people who are from certain areas work for you to look around places you were unable to see at first, so youre able to finish it.
@@leechion2933 Did you not watch the video? They use random people who do "projects". Who do you think those people are? Evidently you think they sprout from a sidewalk specifically to do these "projects". You think they've never lived anywhere and have never seen anything. There's no facepalm big enough.
I grew up on LI. Taking train into the city used to fill me with a certain kind of dread as the LIRR went under ground. There's a whole underground world beneath NYC that's just so mysterious and creepy. Like a crawlspace in a house except it goes on for miles and miles and hides all sorts of horrific secrets.
*There is a mod called Axiom. It revolutionizes building in Minecraft by allowing you to zoom out and and a whole bunch of other stuff!* Mogswamp has a vid about it titled: Minecraft Building Is About To Evolve It could REALLY help with the project!
A comunidade brasileira existe e existem neste momento grandes parcelas de algumas das principais cidades finalizadas, um dia todo o mundo estará completo, eu acredito
Do the overlay of a map that shows the elevation map of the area, build each spot to the correct height, then overlay the the colored image to indicate trees and building and roads over that
How the heck is this so inspirational? I’ve got nothing better to do today; I think I’ll join and try my hand at building. Always wanted to visit NYC anyhow haha
3:50 I used to live in Seattle and I went one of these tours. It was a surreal experience being in underground buildings that were once exposed to the open air.
I'm trying to build my neighborhood in Minecraft, the only difference being I'm one guy and I can't get world edit for whatever reason. it took me about 4 months to build the first building and then another 2 to build a more house sized one behind it. I might have to settle for only building the houses around the first kinda city block, not to mention all the interiors and house plans I'll have to get ahold of. I really want to build the downtown section, followed by 2 different neighborhoods, but without some sort of world edit tool I don't see myself getting there for some time. If I really stay committed to it, it could take somewhere from 5 years to 10 maybe I'll get there one day. And yes my only reference point is a kinda okay Google Earth render/3D buildings and the measuring tool. to find the hight of something I'll go there myself and measure all the windows with a measuring tape (literally) and then use the measuring tool to half hazzerdly find the hight of the building, it's Minecraft which makes it a little easier since I can just round it off but still not the best. Wish me luck,
I went and saw the progress and that looks like it might have taken a long time to build but its going to take even longer if you are trying to build the ocean to. By the time you get done AI would have already done the whole thing 10,000 times before you can do it once in your lifetime. But I do see the effort that you all have put in so far. I wish you guys well.
there's something meaningful about the work being done by human effort, but also, i don't see how most Generative Algorithms would contribute to this project besides just, like, automating the process. You don't need LLM chicanery for that. _They've already heavily automated the process,_ at least along the X & Y axis. I think a similar workflow involving something like google streetview would work for providing detail along the Z axis, for which they already have a less powerful automating tool.
Yeah, I skipped to the end to see what the point is, and it's that he WANTS.... EVERY... PERSON... TO... (ugh, put it on x2 speed), do a vague thing he calls a "project". He spent 12 minutes talking, emphasizing each and every word like a 3rd-grader doing his first public speaking assignment, and he tells us nothing. I re-started in case I missed something. But no, he never reveals what the "project" is. I guess he's trusting that random people are going to be familiar enough with NYC to reproduce any assigned building accurately. His NYC is going to be a mess, with such lack of clarity.
I remember when every country on earth issued a first international lockdown, and getting hyped for a group that will rebuild entire earth on Minecraft 1:1 scale. It's safe to say that the hype was long gone now.
is it possible to use a super computer have the layout of the whole google earth put into the program, build up the outline, use AI to go in and use street view to give a high level outline of buildings? idk maybe possible in a few years
It would be cool to have a labeling and copy/paste system, where you select a building or whatever and you can copy it, down to the block. From there, you can 'paste' an exact copy in your own server. Imagine people building mishmashes of cities, or even countries on earth, with unique chimeras of styles laden all over. You could have the empire state three miles down from the Taj Mahal, just north of the grand canyon, which has Area 51 nestled at the very bottom; Inside could be an underground subway station that leads to Niagra Falls
Ok I just watched the 1:1 Earth video which has a long, drawn out 2 minute intro where you explain the project again. That intro is definitely different from this one
