"The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches."
Pero ahora cuanta gente vive de monetizar en videos?
The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear.
And he said it without being anti-AI.
Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected.
Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet.
The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA.
And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked.
Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product.
The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches.
What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it.
Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next.
Those are different jobs.

Durísimo testimonio de los argentinos damnificados por los incendios en la Patagonia:
“Nos quemaron el paraíso loco, acá todos sabemos que están vendiendo tierras a los israelitas”
Did jews really burn down Argentina forests in Patagonia just so they can “buy” the land cheap?
Yes.
December 9: Milei announces foreigners can buy Argentinian land and develop it after fires.
January 9: Patagonia is burning. Prosecutor confirms the fires are intentional. Accelerants and military grenades found on site.
They're not even pretending anymore.
💥ARCHIVO QUE CONDENA
El principal asesor de Milei supo prometer tierras ricas en recursos a empresas israelíes en un forum internacional. Demian Reidel sin tapujos dijo que lo único malo de las tierras, es que está habitada por argentinos. Insólito.
🇦🇷🇨🇱 Why are IDF soldiers doing land surveys of Patagonia for the state of Israel?
Chilean Senator, Eugenio Tuma Sedan, says Israelis are constantly gathering more information on the topography of the region and may even know more than the Chilean army!!
With recent fires being attributed to Israeli tourists and Israelis being caught setting fires in the past.... it really makes you wonder....
Argentinian affected by the Patagonia forest fires:
"We're no longer shocked. We know it's intentional. There are powers involved. They have real estate and mining interests. They don't even try to hide it anymore because they have everything on their side."
Así lució la Ciudad de México hace 45 largos años! Se trata de un filme de 1980, cuando la capital tuvo solamente 8.8 millones de habitantes, cuando gobernaba José López Portillo y el regente capitalino era Carlos Hank González. En 1980 se fundó la Orquestación Filarmónica de la Ciudad de México, y en dicho año se aplicó el IVA a nivel nacional con un 10%. También se inauguró el Tren Ligero de la capital! Qué belleza de ciudad, sin la sobrepoblación, el ambulantaje, la inseguridad! En aquel año el éxito musical fue la canción que escuchas de Rocío Durcal y Juan Gabriel. Noten los jardines en el zócalo capitalino, así como el paseo por el Castillo de Chapultepec, Palacio de Minería, Museo de Antropología, Museo de Arte Moderno y más. Qué otros detalles llaman tu atención? Notaste el Museo de la Charrería?
Siempre he dicho, que uno de los mayores ecocidios de la humanidad se dio en la Cuenca de México con el desecado y eventual desaparición de los Lagos. Un proceso que comenzó con Cortés y terminó hasta el siglo XX. Comparto una fotografía de Robert Swanson de una canoa navegando por el icónico Canal de la Viga en el año de 1928. Si esto fue una belleza, imagínate lo hermoso e imponente que fue Tenochtitlan hace 500 años

So many lives lost this weekend. It’s been absolutely heartbreaking.
