I hate to be an HN bikeshedder but why is everything "Claw" recently?
Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, just spoke at YC Startup School. The entire thing is worth a view.

Branding is amazing. In this case with a normal word, it's a sort of network effect? Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, just spoke at YC Startup School. The entire thing is worth a view. > There are 33,000 "claw" named repositories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whcfSGN6CAU&t=1450s
It looks impressive. However open worlds are at their best with hand placed details and environmental storytelling. Look at Skyrim/Cyberpunk vs. Starfield where most of the world is proc gen’d. I get that you run this, and then edit it. But the generated villages just aren’t interesting in my opinion. It’s probably great for tencent’s market where you’re mass producing gacha style games, but I don’t think worlds made…
You know what's also good at storytelling? AI. Or else we wouldn't have writing awards being revoked when it comes out it was written by AI. I wouldn't say we don't need artists or writers, but I think most people will be surprised how quickly fully AI driven pipelines will advance here.

> Don’t forget to use low or “smart” poly features otherwise you get too many vertices to the point you can’t performantly raycast etc. I've found it's actually best to do maximal quality generation and decimate/meshopt to desired budget. If you're raycasting against your raw art you're doing it wrong anyway, none of the big players do this precisely for the reason you mentioned. And beyond physics meshes, if you're…

This kind of content generation can be quite cool to enable new game ideas for indie developers that were only possible with AAA before. But it also makes it hard to gauge the amount of human work that went into the game. When you see an elegantly designed building, environment or easter egg in the game, was that really made by a human (or even prompted by a human), or did the AI generate it autonomously as part of a…
> When you see an elegantly designed building ...was that really made by a human or did the AI generate it as part of a much larger generation step? Does it matter? Why?
Plenty of Holiday Inn’s have lovely painted landscapes on the walls. People aren’t paying for them to be in their homes.
