A game developer stress-tests ChatGPT Astra 6 for building a game across Unity and Blender workflows.
OpenAI released their new ChatGPT Astra 6 model around a month ago. It was shown to be able be used for game development in various game engines like Unity, and can even use 3D modelling software like Blender. I found out it is even capable of making pixel art and voxel art. I wanted to put it to the test to see if it could make anything that is actually worth playing or if it is just some more AI slop. ----- Music: "Voxel Revolution", "Getting it Done", "Cyborg Ninja", "Blip Stream", "Delig…

Examines Meta’s attempt to shrink engineering teams with autonomous coding agents and the operational problems it exposed.
Meta wanted AI to replace engineers. Instead, the experiment exposed how difficult it is to automate software development at scale. This video explores Meta’s push toward autonomous AI agents, smaller engineering teams, and a future where machines handle more of the company’s coding workload. The promise was simple. Generate more code, move faster, and reduce labor costs. But more code didn’t necessarily mean more progress. As AI-generated changes multiplied, engineers were left reviewing incr…
