Agreed but is it much easier to deal with if you need to have all of these sub processes integrated? How does one know when you need to reword a request? What if Anthropic then has a type error, then debugging that just got harder.

It doesn't exist to me unless there's a gameplay trailer. Might as well just be some dude on the bus downtown next to me telling me about his idea for a game.

Personally would never buy an SUV. Don't think I'm the only one even if that market still has some room to grow.

Agreed! Reduced follow mode and the publisher needs to decide which 3 posts a day are marked 'priority'. If < 3 posts, then all are 'priority'.

Think they are pretty happy with 20x pro subscribers, even at a loss. Highest value customer base, they'll be happy to take a loss to gain market share.

“allowing non-technical people to create and play custom games that go beyond rudimentary elements”

We have no problem confining tens of billions of sentient beings to unsanitary, crowded conditions where they can barely stand, never see daylight, and suffer severe psychological and physiological stress. Then we put them on a giant conveyor belt to be killed (and they have the cognitive ability to anticipate that death and feel fear).

...Just because we like the taste of a chicken burger. Perhaps we should start with that before we worry if our computer can also scream.
