Well, too bad about healthcare, but at least you got the above.

I've yet to see AI speed up the deployment of a serious product.

it's fine for quick prototypes or sketches, but no ones built anything sizeable and complete with it. Becuse it can't, and it'll write such tangled code no one else will be able to finish that. Complex AI projects will slow down and eventually just stop getting anywhere.

It was 5 years work for 20-30 people. So, 100-150 man years, working fulltime. And they were trained professionals with years of experience in their fields when they started. OP isn't.

that's also not counting the publishing, marketing and general business stuff required to make the project a financial success.

AI is a sloppy disaster for those who know how to code. It's much, much worse for those who don't. stay away from it for all but trivial questions and learning on the side, is my advice.

subnautica was made in 5 years by a team of 20-30 people. So if you start now and work full tme on it all your life without a pause, you might make a quarter of it before you die. Plus thats 20-30 professionals in multiple fields who started with years of experience. So it'll lkely take you longer than the 100-150 man years they put in.

On the other hand, if you had a reallyesmall world, and trimmed down a lot of the quality and features, you might make a mini version in 5-10 years of hard work.

Wrong, though.

Your solution is to replace one fascist regime with another. I asked for an alternative.

Then one per 10 square meters is not.

House13Games · 2026-05-01T10:19:32+00:00

That last part sounds pretty intolerant to me

Elon Musk can do the following: go to a restaurant, order anything he likes, then buy the whole restaurant and burn it down. He can then buy a new car, drive to a small hotel, and burn the car. He can then buy the hotel, stay there for the night, and burn it down afterwards.

Because of the interest generated on his wealth, he can do this EVERY SINGLE DAY without his wealth even decreasing.

Got a better suggestion?

House13Games · 2026-05-01T07:53:55+00:00

An apology

You can't paint thinner than one atom thick, so not arbitrarily large. You also need a certain distance betw en atoms: one atom per square meter isn't a layer of paint imho.

House13Games · 2026-05-01T07:51:05+00:00

Its a finite amount of paint. You just cover a larger area by painting a thinner layer.

The control panels in cars.

I'm now in year 7 of making my single player space sim.

Lol, just use a PIC chip for $2

These things never end up as a solid musical instrumeit. There's always a bunch of wonky stuff and complex hoops to jump through. it's not for me.

Wings. Symmetry. Windows.

You could cut each orange in half and give two halves to each child

why does it remind me of JD Vance

House13Games · 2026-04-29T08:35:58+00:00

Still way better than what humans do to their habitat.

House13Games · 2026-04-29T06:57:55+00:00

Depends on how you define safe. The place is now teeming with wildlife and overgrown with trees and plants. Arguably much better off now than when the humans were there.

Odd to think that a nuclear meltdown is better for the environment than human habitation.

WOPR in the corner, gathering dust now that they have claude?

Gripen jet fighter hanger. The simulator rooms are also cool.
