Last night, Claude recreated the app - a single HTML page with a daily challenge, all-time stats, as many generated puzzles as she wants without ads. Oh and it's cat themed this time (of course).
At dinner we started talking about whether people will start creating their own personal entertainment, beyond just simple puzzle games, like TV episodes, maybe entire TV series, maybe movies...
We were (somewhat in hesitation) imagining a world where you are on the commuter train home and an agent is working on a new episode to watch that night. Maybe starring Prad Bit.
Anyone actually creating their own personal entertainment at the moment?
EDIT: Economically this was quite stupid... Token cost was ~$25. With a subscription this barely ate up a single 5 hour window of usage, but, on an API cost basis this was sort of ridiculous to replace a free mobile game...

However with agentic coding, I think we're already seeing a pretty big resurgence in owning your own tools.
I've already created bespoke versions of many pieces of software to tweak them exactly to my liking (tabbed text editor, a graphical diff tool, screencaster, etc).
