So yeah, focusing on world models

Are you saying Carmack isn't a "talented and successful developer"?

Why would a game development pedigree correlate with rejecting AI? As Carmack said:

> AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics.

I have not... A video showing what it's talking about would have been a good addition to this article.

Is there a reliable service that plots hourly price per GPU per cloud through time?

Just so you know, this is already very much a thing on TikTok: AI-generated movie summaries with narrator voice explaining the plot while showing only major beats, reducing movie from 2h to shorts totaling 10min.

It’s honestly not the worse AI content out there! Lots of movies I wouldn’t consider watching but that I’m curious enough to see summarized (eg a movie where only the first title was good but two more were still published)

Exactly - best case scenario is Reddit/HN front page with a cool project you enjoyed working on, have some nice conversations there, reach a few 100s stars which look good on your CV, and that’s it.

If you expect more long term support you better be paying me for my time.

I picture entities playing with our universe, "it starts slow but check it out at the 13.8B mark"

And even for "out of distribution" code you can still ask question about how to do the same thing but more optimized, could a library help for this, why is that piece of code giving this unexpected output etc
