Decided to finally poke at @spawn.
~30min later, I've applied to become a partner and have inquired re: investment opportunities.
Hashtag not-an-ad in the slightest. I'm just very, truly, incredibly, impressed.
Curious if anyone who sees this is building as well?
@Liv_Boeree Not everyone! I myself am a bright eyed (perhaps naive) optimist. Even the things I see as big problems I'm pretty sure will get worked out just fine.
Rewriting a whole new Linux in Bend sounds really hard at first, and it will be. But way you could start is by only writing the drivers that you need. Drivers in general can probably be written more or less on the fly going forward. We can still merge them in too.
@rileybrown Thanks so much for sharing this. I feel like I learned a lot reading your prompts. I think I need to be way more iterative than I have been with 5.2 so far
@SyntheticBeef Could be that the new models get so good that a single sentence prompt produces something more impressive than Star Wars. Or no prompt.
Thats probably not months away but maybe years. I think people kind of know this even when they insist they don't. And it freaks them out.
@SyntheticBeef Skills definitely do something. You can tell that whatever people knew before AI is what they're really good at getting the AI to do, if they learn how to use the AI at least. But how long does that even last? I'm not quite sure to be honest. Maybe these are the last months of it
This is a game. At peak it made $50k/day.
This is one of the most famous books of all time. Written in 9 days.
AI is just a tool. We've always had tools. People can go faster now. But people went fast before, optionally. You could spend years making a game with AI. People will.
These people need to stop, you haven't made a game. You've made a vertical slice, yes it looks good but turning this into a game still requires talent most AI users don't have, you will still need to understand how to make a game. AI just means you can do it with a smaller cheaper team.
I can do the below in a weekend from my phone too (and have done... I can show off my defender clone for which I built two levels, or the city builder I moved onto). But they aren't games yet. They are tech demos at best.
Anyhow, in a little over a week we will see the release of The Last Human Game.
There will never be another AAA game at the scale of GTA 6 with no AI assistance. People will look back at an all-human game with a billion dollar budget and wonder how they did it, like the Pyramids
One of the most surprising things to me about life is the sheer volume of negativity when anyone tries to do anything. When I was younger it used to upset me but as time goes on I've come to find it pretty funny.
Moment after moment of "wow, you guys hate this too huh?"
I feel kinda bad for these people because they are ready made scape goats for that time. Everyone will claim the town wanted data centers but it was this person who blocked it, see this old news article says so.
They write articles about the people who lead the charge to block data centers like they're heros but people don't quite understand how these articles will look in 10 years.
Towns that said yes will be rich. Towns that said no will not. Feature articles with photos will remain.

LLM's weren't great at writing code either until they were put in a harness.
Software Engineers don't know how to build a writing harness because they aren't good writers.

Writing isn't magic. It's going to be reducible to a collection of rules and loops like code. With the added need to reflect the zeitgeist, rooted in an opinionated point of view.
This is beyond feasible.
