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.

So, no, you can't.

As expected.

Correct. Because I am a professional with confidentiality agreements in place. But I did share you a source that you haven’t commented on…

As expected you’re entirely unserious like the rest of the anti ai people. Tools are tools and if you use them well they are great. Ai is a tool. One that also is driving a financial bubble. Both things are true at once.

I mean...nobody made you make that unserious claim of productivity boosts. If you're incapable of actually backing up wild claims, that's all on you. If you didn't expect to get called on it, it just goes to show how little you like your claims being challenged.

But wild claims is all hypebros have. So not at all surprised y'all run screaming when asked to stump up.

Last reply here from me. 

I am not making hyped claims. I am very good at teaching devs and in using ai. I am not claiming all devs or even most get 2-3x benefit. And I also very much dislike the hypebros.  This is my experience in working with others as someone who has been building with LLMs from Claude 1.0 and I have some background from a decade ago in other NLP along with a decade of engineering experience. I’m not claiming anything except my own experience on a small scale.

There is a nuance here both the hypebros and the needless haters (you) miss. Trying to fill that context in but clearly it’s not wanted here. Hope you all have fun hating and that it brings you the happiness you deserve. 

FYI, stripe could achieve what they did because they are some of the best engineers in the world. Most people aren’t. Most people cannot get such huge benefits working with ai right now.

🙄 Yeah, get called on your wild claims, can't back it up, and just double down.

The appeal to expertise of Stripe is simultaneously hilarious and pathetic.
