<p>How should one compare benchmark results?
For example, SWE-bench Pro improved ~11% compared with Opus 4.6. Should one interpret it as 4.7 is able to solve more difficult problems? or 11% less hallucinations?</p>

<p>Vibe coders' argument* is that quality of code does not matter because LLMs can iterate much much faster then humans do.<p>Consider this overly simplified process of writing a logic to satisfy a requirement:<p>1. Write code<p>2. Verify<p>3. Fix<p>We, humans, know the cost of each step is high, so we come up various way to improve code quality and reduce cognitive burden. We make it easier to understand when we have to revisit.<p>On the other hand, LLMs can understand** a large piece of code quickly***, and in addition, compile and run with agentic tools like Claude Code at the cost of token****. Quality does not matter to vibe coders if LLMs can fill the function logic that satisfies the requirement by iterating the aforementioned steps quickly.<p>I don't agree with this approach and have seen too many things broken from vibe code, but perhaps they are right as LLMs get better.<p>* Anecdotal<p>** I see LLM as just a probabilistic function so it doesn't "reason" like humans do. It's capable of highly advanced problem solving yet it also fails at primitive task.<p>*** Relative to human<p>**** Cost of token I believe is relatively cheaper compared to a full-time engineer and it'll get cheaper over time.</p>

<p>Your response explains <i>why</i> Roblox might charge such a steep fee but that isn't my issue as I said earlier.<p>> 67% given to developers per in-experience dollar spent<p>Profit given to dev is $0.25 per dollar spent, not $0.67. It's as simple as that. I understand Roblox needs to maintain infra, support regional regulation, etc, but that's Roblox's business operational cost and shouldn't claim the delta of $0.42 is "given to developers" because developers never received it</p>

<p>Wording Roblox trying to sell is deceiving.<p>Compare with other platforms. Payout model is as simple as platform takes % or fixed fee, rest is dev to keep. There's no verbiage that says dev share is 67% <i>but</i> you they actually get paid less.<p>What exactly goes behind the platform is platform's business, not the user. If developers are getting paid out $0.25 per dollar spent, that's the developers profit and rest is spent running the platform which is Roblox's concern.</p>

<p>Roblox is slot machines for kids<p>Games are filled with loot boxes that drop exquisite items on chance. It's a repeated cycle of charging robux only to spend on another slot machine.<p>US regulation is far behind protecting children from such scheme. Japan disallows many forms of such loot boxes due to addictive nature.</p>

<p>> 67% given to developers per in-experience dollar spent<p>This is misleading because for every dollar spent, $0.67 is <i>not</i> what developers get paid. The link (<a href="https://create.roblox.com/docs/monetize-experiences" rel="nofollow">https://create.roblox.com/docs/monetize-experiences</a>) you referenced clearly says 25% is the "Developer share".<p>The cost to run the platform is the platform's cost."Platform hosting & support" and "App stores & payment processing fees" should not be considered as developer operational cost</p>
