Steve is not making a game, he is _playing_ the game of making games.

It's like playing Factorio but instead building a rocket to escape, you are building a game. Instead of messing around with mining drills and train tracks, he is deploying agents and thinking about how to interface with them.

I think it sounds like a super fun game.

update: with the added benefit that he might see a return on his investment as well!

You nailed it, this is a meta game.

AI lets you LARP.

Want to be the head of a game studio? "Hire" a bunch of game dev agents, put them to work in the software factory, get pretty progress updates and an actual game of sorts along the way.

Want to be the CEO of a startup? Hire a bunch of biz ops agents, and fire them when they make mistakes. Ship an actual website and MVP and make some numbers go up along the way.

If you know you're playing a game its fun and weird. But I worry for the people that don't know they're LARPing...

Pushing pixels around the screen is what I bluntly described the grand sum capabilities of AI to my brother, who is quite infatuated with it.

It wasn't appreciated.
