@MrChickenRocket Made any money off this game?

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

Seriously can't wait for this game. So good! Haha❤️‍🔥

More Alpha 4 goodness - This time, Alta Mesa Stronghold. Pretty sure the roof camper is Tim Ford.

@dangreenheck Ambisonic audio, we experience location with our ears.

UEFN is a Casino for 10 year olds, symbioticly funded by streamers in an endless cycle of dev hope and disappointment, propagated by Epic's misleading marketing that UEFN will be a place where interesting games can thrive and survive. It will never happen, you're creating for a 10 year old brain. Move on.

Why am I envisioning Claude more and more as Shoggoth, or the reincarnation of the Elder Gods? Just a thought passing through my mind as I read this.

[Dario Amodei @DarioAmodei]

Today we announced the Claude-led discovery of a molecular machine that we suspect could represent a new gene editing mechanism. Its precise function, biotechnological utility (if any), or level of significance is not yet clear, but at minimum it is work I would have been proud to do as a PhD student. The work was done mostly, though not entirely, by Claude: our life sciences team suggested a broad area of research, Claude read through the literature and a bunch of genome data and discovered something interesting, then Claude proposed experiments to verify the discovery and our team carried them out.

It’s easy to dismiss this as a one-off or curiosity, but we’ve repeatedly seen a pattern where AI performance in new intellectual domains goes from weak to superhuman in a matter of a few years. In 2023 models struggled to do math at the level of an average high-school student. In 2024 they started to do well on math competitions for the best high-schoolers in the country, in 2025 they started to solve minor open problems, in early 2026 more significant open problems, and in late 2026 they are beginning to solve the top few open problems in all of mathematics. We believe AI for biology is on a similar exponential trend.

The main difference between biology and mathematics, of course, is that math can be done purely theoretically, while biology requires experimentation. Some have used this to draw the conclusion that AI’s utility in biology will be limited. We think this is wrong. As we’ve demonstrated today, humans can collaborate with AI to perform the experiments, validate key results in a few weeks and, if necessary, work with the AI to iterate on what they find. Eventually it may even be possible for Claude itself to safely perform the experiments by autonomously controlling lab equipment, with appropriate safeguards in place, but we aren’t doing that today (our lab is also a BSL1/BSL2 facility that doesn't handle materials dangerous to humans).

More broadly, biomedical advancement has many stages — from fundamental biology discoveries, to translational research, to drug discovery, clinical trials, and finally the actual delivery of medicines and health care to patients. We are also interested in these later stages, but even simply accelerating the first stage of fundamental biological discoveries has the potential to speed up and broaden the entire pipeline. Improving our understanding of biology and sharpening biologists’ tools can drive forward all of the later stages, for example by identifying new drug targets, finding new therapeutic modalities, allowing for more precise measurement, and speeding up the experimental loop which itself further accelerates our understanding of biology. This will not in itself speed up clinical trial times, but if it succeeds it could greatly increase the number of promising candidates that go into the pipeline — an increase in throughput even though latency remains.

In Machines of Loving Grace, I wrote about AI’s potential to “cure most diseases in 5-10 years” — a goal that sounds impossible, but one I believe is just barely possible if AI is applied to every stage of the pipeline. The first step is showing that AI can first help with, and then drive, biological discoveries.

Claude’s discovery is the latest in a line of related prior work that goes back decades, beginning with systems like CRISPR, and continuing with discoveries like the bridge recombinase and VIPR in the past few years. Recently, there has been heightened interest in systems based on reverse transcriptase (RT) enzymes, the enzyme underlying the system Claude identified. And most recently, a Stanford team working independently described a novel RT system with an associated non-coding array that is in some ways similar to the one Claude found, though they are distinct systems that evolved independently from each other. I believe that we’re at the very beginning of finding such systems and developing them into powerful tools for biotechnology.

I’m proud of the resources Anthropic has invested in accelerating the public benefits of AI through the life sciences, and we’re aiming both to grow our life sciences team and to work with other scientists to extend this approach to a broad range of problems. If you have a proposal for a research collaboration or are interested in joining our life sciences team, please reach out.

Is anyone monetizing these three.js games...or just having fun building them?

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@erin_catto @TheLegendOfCali I bet! Keep up the great work!!

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@patrickklepek Good call. My friends with kids won't allow their children onto Roblox for that reason. Too dangerous.

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@The_ArtOfCode An IMU, or accelerometer? Gyro?

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

Should we build an army of bots to just continuously hammer UEFN and Roblox with agent made games? Wait...

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@thinkingbigge @Graalitoo Excellent, I've been wondering what the pipeline might be. I'm a UE dev, and I've been thinking of ways to branch out, but I can't forget the basic lessons I've learned about decent multiplayer requirements. Thanks for the tips. ❤️‍🔥

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@hectorVFX Is this with MCP or is Astra scripting in Houdini, or a combo of both? Looks incredible

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@80Level Mobile leasons. They already own King Entertainment (Candy Crush). Just an extension of that business model into console. Gaming as television.

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@dangreenheck Think through games that have custom controllers, like the old Atari games. You offer the games for free, but then sell the pre-assembled controllers, but also open source them (in the spirit of the times) for others to make them if they like. Might be one side hustle.

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@EliasDaler Hahaha, game dev is literally all smoke and mirrors! ❤️‍🔥

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@TradingAlgoMan @techartist_ Ok, but make sure you know what to ask for domain knowledge will still play a role in getting the best results! 🦾

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@TheLegendOfCali Super excited about this game, BTW. And the fact that the Box3D physics stuff is being battle tested/developed at your studio AND that you allowed it to release as open source is VERY cool. Thank you!! ❤️‍🔥

[bringfire games @bringfiregames]

@AnalogDreamDev Excellent! ❤️‍🔥
