Good thing I have a day job. Where I don't use AI.
AI still cannot oneshot 2D platformers, the most documented videogame genre with so much source code available.
But yeah guys, AI sure will be writing all the code just give it another 6 months...
I was expecting this to drown in the flood of /newest, so seeing so many folks get a chuckle out of this is a very pleasant surprise. The obvious spark for this was yesterday's second last-minute extension of the Fable promotional window (a phrase comprised of two heavily strained words at this point), and an hour or so of back-and-forth with GLM-5.2 and Opus later, here we are.
The game is, of course, unwinnable on purpose. There is no ending. The flag always escapes, the date always extends, and new GPT releases will continue to wipe your valuation no matter how many coins or funding round power-ups you collect. The win condition is closing the tab because you're tired of it, which I'd argue makes it the most realistic AI-industry simulation currently available on the internet.
The code is, of course, vibe-slopped, most of the imagery is original human-slop (or sourced from icon libraries). Happy to answer any and all questions and take any and all flak. The bugs are a part of the joke, I swear!
Can you release a version playable on mobile?
edit: It's up!
New Gemini model! Nobody cares.
Firefox works great!
Are those little Sam Altmans?!
Love the power ups: tokenmaxxing, usage reset
I've made a few sprite-based animations with AI assistance but it still required a fair amount of manual photoshop (or in my case Aseprite) post-processing.
You can e.g. download a run cycle from Mixamo, use Blender to render a video from whatever angle you wish, and feed that into the model along with your sprite on a green background, it's pretty much perfect.
I constantly have to tell agents to just "look it up online" and "don't hallucinate your own components" because people have already done this a million times. Ironically, being more lazy could make these models more useful.
Usually the ones I provide myself are better than the ones they find themselves.
I'm not super clear how they search the web or what they do and don't have access to. It seems to be quite fast.
