"I mean to be fair convex does most of the heavy lifting for mutable shared state if you're building on it. It. handles optimistic updates back end long running functions that have access to the transaction context etc. So if you just want 16ish players where shared read only state is positions and the only shared mutable state is the object layer. It's totally fine. Getting character movements smooth-ish needs some additional work (batching movement prediction). But getting all this working with level design collisions character interaction object tracking etc. is pretty straight forward."

"Agree. But whats less discussed is to what extent this is a result of the economics rather than some bitter-lessony-generalization. For example the frontier model companies can raise more money than the entirety of the private companies that rely on them. So almost tautologically there is no room for margin capture. This is both due to direct investment in the frontier models and near infinite capacity for subsidization. Being on the ground I actually see Pareto efficiency via specialized models pick up between frontier model drops. And then get wiped out by the next drop. So the big"

"The difference in stuff AI coding is good at vs not is getting more stark. It's very good at basic engine stuff you'd want to build on the way. Tooling testing basic engine design. Frameworks etc. But it's really not good at anything where runtime understanding is important. I've seen this working on a splat renderer and multiplayer back end for a game engine. In both cases AI creates a pretty reasonable guess. But lacking actual understanding of the runtime semantics the results are basically unusable. This produces somewhat of a dilemma. The better it is at the stuff you can derive"
