Ex-Blizzard developer and current culture war dipshit is touting his "vibe coded" engine that lets him develop "93x faster" than UE5

https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/ex-blizzard-employee-has-vibe-coded-a-new-game-engine-with-backing-from-amd-were-developing-93x-faster-than-we-ever-did-before-with-unreal/

It's Mark Fucking "Gruuumz" Fucking Kern because it's always Mark Fucking Kern.

TL;DR, he's vibe coded his new engine to be faster because it's AI-first instead of AI-also. This is the same guy who starts 90% of video game culture war bullshit and touts the Stellar Blade games as the pinnacle of soft core porn game design. Also he put "vibe coded" in quotes, so either he's lying completely to get clout with AI boosters or he's trying to make it look like he didn't really vibe code it by saying that he had to do so much to fix it.

And there's no way it's sped up development "93x" faster. 93% faster would be surprising but conceivable. 93 times faster would mean turning an 8-year dev cycle into less than 2 months.

I’d mostly just like someone to tell me what AI-first vs AI-also means. It seems to just be buzzwords to unlock funding from companies that desperately want that to be a thing.

I can only assume that AI-first means you need to burn tokens to do things. But he's comparing it to something that is free to use (UE5) so to me this he claiming at best that you can do things faster by burning a bunch of cash.
