I'm starting to long $U and adding. People are not pricing in AI game dev; it's mostly coding, but the RL hasn't been improved yet. This is big business for influencers and the creator economy. Some catalysts could be GTA VI AI mods. Unity is the most direct exposure with a good relative valuation.

i had a big realization last night, for comparative valuations you need to time-compress revenue e.g. Rockstar could've released a new GTA every year thats 30 years of revenue in 5 years.

modern pocket god i phone game
Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world. Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you), and your assets respond to all of it. The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage. Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.

Media and entertainment were a big driver for innovation, where art met technology

man Anthropic must be holding onto a monster if they are letting Gemini mog it like this
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago. Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.

New Anthropic research: How AI agents shape experts' judgment calls When experts delegate work to an agent, do they still make the key decisions? We tested this in a randomized trial with 50 professional data analysts.

im noticing subtle improvements in opus 5.5, it does have a fable 5.5 "understand intent" feel

In the short run, The US market might correct. Then the rest of the world will laugh, saying, "I told you, AI was stupid". Then, the US will use the oversupply of Intelligence, more accurately, a really smart labor force, to tackle real-world problems instead of more SaaS. After 2 years, the US will be so far ahead that it's going to be really scary for literally all other countries without a frontier lab.

having a chatbot investment application process sounds awesome on paper, but absolutely stupid in practice. your slop bot better be AGI; otherwise its an absolute waste of time talking to this clanker.

X psychosis this is why its hard to talk to people not active on X
Replying to @mitsuhiko
btw if people are taking issue to the small sample sizes: fair. Here is an updated graph with more respondends. Bluesky of course, given the lack of poll feature, is trickier to get right.

reddit people are confused
r/opensource now doesnt accept AI-assited projects do you know what project uses AI-assisted code? the Linux kernel. the LINUX KERNEL ISNT ACCEPTED by r/opensource now.

Tried directing Claude Code into our Figma design system three months ago. Unusable. Shelved it. Tried again recently on a live client project. It's executing better than I expected. The gap between "doesn't work" and "works" is now about a quarter. Plan accordingly.

If your company refers to engineers as the IT department, you have nothing to worry about. You were already breached last week.

A Drone With Only One Motor! And a 3D-printed propeller. And somehow, it still manages to fly. The really interesting part is how you control it. By accelerating and decelerating the motor more than 300 times per second, you can control the drone's thrust, pitch, and roll. The propeller spins at almost 20,000 RPM, with its tips approaching half the speed of sound. Getting this to work required custom firmware, a homemade high-speed imaging setup to study the blades, and hundreds of crashes. I've been sharing Joshua Bird's videos for quite a while now. I just love the things he comes up with and how much effort he puts into making them work. We're also going to talk about a few other projects he's currently working on. More on that soon! And if you want to take a closer look at how he built this thing, he's made the code and CAD files open source. github.com/jyjblrd/single-pr… Full YouTube video: youtu.be/Ndftcft6XhU?si=19rA… —— Weekly robotics and AI insights.

In the short term, quality will be about IP and brands that produce cool games. You trust their taste.
The main problem with vibe-coded games isn't bad code or even AI art. It's that you can generate years of implementation in days, but not years of playtesting, iteration, and design judgment. A game can be finished in a weekend. That doesn't mean it's been designed.

I think we need to realize that 30% gdp growth also means everyone working 2x more!

next mission CJ has to explain to the VCs why his token bill is bigger than his revenue
I asked Claude Code to make a new GTA: San Andreas mission where CJ has to vibe code a startup and then raise money from investors in SF
