I'm pretty tired of the "Y made this game in Z tokens" all over the internet last week. They look impressive, and it's cool that it's even possible, but they're useless as games. None of them are any fun. They're like the most boring variant of basic controllers you can imagine. None have any cool mechanics. None have any tweaks made from hours and hours of testing. All have the same cel-shader.

#42It's difficult to think in exponentials. But this demonstrates we're a couple orders of magnitude away from generating 1:1 hyper-personalized entertainment and media for individuals, rather than the masses.
I very much doubt that. We now have nearly-perfect AI image generation and it hasn't really changed the nature of human expression. I don't see my friends getting wildly creative. I mostly see it used for spammy blogs, spammy books, and cringeworthy corporate marketing - basically, a negative signal, rather than "ooh, AI image, I'm in for a treat". Is your experience different? If not, what changes with moving images…
> We now have nearly-perfect AI image generation
Not even close. Current AIs have very poor spatial awareness, they can generate some kind of scene but they can't tell you where objects are in the scene, nor can they move objects into different places. They're very useful but it's difficult to be very creative with them because they can't update an image to make it more aligned with your vision for what should be in the image.

#43I'd rather have them battle on the topic "Who builds a better Google Wave for LLM chats" to explore the space of how AI studios could be. "Getting Started with Google Wave": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKUAqNGVwX0
i remember this failing, but this product looks pretty useful in 2026
I used it to plan a group beach trip back when it came out. We had a single page shared with everyone going on the trip. The page had live shopping lists, maps, weather forecasts, and other snippets of useful information. Now in 2026 I still can't think of any single technology that provides the same utility. Although to be fair, this might be a case of rosy retrospection.

#44IMO, the area where AI is going to be most useful over the next couple years is in developing manufacturing processes top to bottom. Maybe a million token budget is too small, but something like "design me a sneaker and all the equipment to manufacture it autonomously".
Gotta love when a techbro just says some complete nonsense like this with total confidence
Grok build me a spaceship to mars, make no mistakes

It's blockchain for gaming all over again, putting the cart before the horse.

#46We must not be using the same opus 5, because if I tried to generate this it would refuse based on copyright grounds.
Re: Karpathy’s Pelican
#47It seems pretty clear that Anthropic models have been specifically trained to be good at generating three.js (JavaScript 3-D Graphics) code, so given current state of AI code generation in general, I don't find three.js models/animations as indicative of anything other than the model's ability to write three.js code.
When Fable was first released the day-1 demos of it on Twitter (presumably from people who were given early access, and/or Anthropic employees) were pretty much 100% three.js stuff. Yes, it looks nice, but it doesn't tell me any better than an Erdos proof whether the LLM will be able to run my vending machine.
Re: Karpathy’s Pelican
#48Do you guys notice that LLM can create fancy viz/animations by coding them instead of leveraging what we humans usually use (e.g Lottie, After Effects)?
I wonder if Flash is still popular... LLM can use that instead...?

#49[flagged]
Theft of what? Why - aside from the fact that your accusation are irrelevant to the submission and arguments absent -, you do not know verbatim paragraphs (we do)?
You cannot come and place your personal positions as assumptions. To me, there is absolutely no theft. And we cannot play a game of "Yes!"//"No!" here.
By the way: are we having a surge of this?
