Ignoring all the positives & negatives surrounding this technology for a minute, this is an amazing outcome for the kids.

Not really, one of the joys of being a kid was forming your own "studio" and making games for game jams and stuff. Being able to one shot stuff really destroys the fun.

Agreed. Could you imagine? Those kids must have been so stoked!

Though, now they will never stop asking for more and more. OOP may have opened Pandora's box. :)

Kids? Forget the kids. This is awesome for everybody. I'm busy making 'adult games' (not that sort) that I always wanted to make, but lacked the artistic/sound/etc competence to do so. And while I hope to make a buck off them, I don't even really care. Even if somehow they failed, in the end I'd have stuff that I wanted but always lacked certain skills to complete.

I don't think people are yet appreciating how much LLMs are going to change the world, especially not the doomers. People are just jamming the present into the future, with greater efficiencies. But it's nonsense. The cost of cognitive work will approach $0 which is going to send the raw value of cognitive output to something close to $0.

So the 'winners' will be whoever fills the resultant vacuum in the economy. That will probably be a mixture of social, physical, entertainment, and other such domains. But it's all so hard to predict. We've lived our entire lives in a completely agrarian society, and we're seeing the advent of the Industrial Revolution. It's easy to predict super-farms, but those aren't going to be the 'real' winners.

Have you published the games anywhere? Would love to see what you've made.

The 'winners' will be the holders of capital, same as always, but it will be giga-gasoline on the fire. The rest of us will be dancing monkies for the owner class if we're lucky.

> This is awesome for everybody

...except people who actually enjoy games and want high quality games to play, of course.

Down here in reality, platforms like Steam are being absolutely flooded with generic, ugly, low-quality AI-generated games, which are not only drowning out the human-made games people actually want to play and making it impossible to find them, but are also preventing them from being sold entirely in some cases due to human reviewers not being able to keep up with the pace of new game submissions[0].

So, thanks for your contribution to that, I guess.

		I'm thinking of the scene from Zoolander where Mugatu dresses up as Little Cletus to advocate for child labor.
