@the_unfair_advantages: Claude built this playable 3D island in 8 hours. The token bill was $1,874. og: Dan Greenheck (r/singularity) #ai #claude #anthropic #gamedev #ainews
You can literally hire someone to make this in Unreal Engine for cheaper and in less time

people aren't getting it. In the span of a few years we went from shitty fever dream ai videos built in a lab to this. In another five years AAA developers are going to be fucked.

Well for 1.8k you could hire a programmer to do this too. But it is cool.

A good programmer to build something like this would charge at least 100 dollars an hour, that's 4,000 in just one week and you'd need an animator as well.

it was my hobby for many years , modeling in 3D making textures and building some fun stuff in Unity and UE , but AI completely made me lost interest in what i was doing , knowing it can do in 3 - 5 hours what i learned for 5 years kinda hard to process

from the level and environmental design perspective it doesn't look appealing or interesting to play. boring...

until you realize AI can't come up with new ideas, just regurgitates old ones. and building something original on top of the ai slop will be trash and have all sorts of compatibility issues and conflicts. this type of "playable" island is just a 3d model with a camera attached to a pair of legs. trying to do anything interesting with it is a waste

Suspected3rd :
Context: The $1874 is kinda misleading.. he didnt swipe his card for $1874. hes on the $200 Max plan and that run ate 59% of his weekly quota. $1874 is basically the API equivalent of the tokens, also this thing is way more than the video shows.. custom WebGPU renderer, shaders, 18 fish species, fishing economy, boat, day/night, clouds, reef, whale etc, and he kept building AFTER the original $1874 run.. so the final game probably cost even more compute and the total prompt runs is still unknown.

But like for what tho? To prove that he could? At what point are people going to decide they don’t want to pay robots?
