Comment on Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are)

Roughly an average 10% drop in major gaming stocks, because a plagiarism machine can produce one minute of 720p, 24fps ‘gameplay’ at an absolutely astounding compute cost.

These people are all fucking idiots.

Therr is no universe where this even makes sense under a ‘a games are streamed’ paradigm.

This is like 100x to 100,000x the cost in hardware and energy, to produce a minute.

Do these fucking idiots think a game can just be wholly reinstantiated every single minute?

It actually would have made more sense to fine tune an LLM to interface with an API layer for Unity or something, to just… you know, produce an actual game?

Call that the uh, the processed training data/output condensed into a distilled an efficient piece of software.

I truly cannot comprehend the mind numbing level of stupidity on display here.

If that much investor money can be swayed by this utterly pitiful demonstration, then all these game stocks deserve to go to near 0, because clearly the people in charge (the investors) understand literally nothing about video games.

This is utterly asinine.
