Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Or the game could be about a newly laid off worker that has to trick unconscious LLM bots to give them the things they need to survive.
Yeah plenty of opportunities to just work it into the story.
I dunno what kind of local models you can use, though. If it is a 3D game then its fine to require a GPU, but you wouldn't want to raise minimum requirements too high. And you wouldn't want to use 12 gigs of vram for a gimmick, either.
For me it would be enough to make a simple concept game in the style of an old dungeon crawl and put it up on GitHub....
Stayed up last night writing it: https://github.com/zbyte64/agent-elysium
Qwen3 with 5 gigs seems to do the trick but it is slow....
I read the source. It was pretty funny, but I'm not installing a massive statistical word regurgitator program just to run this. I don't want to be too mean about an anticapitalist piece of art but I don't think posting an LLM-based game here is going to net you a hugely positive reception.
That's fair. Personally, I think the game would be more fun without the LLM (what makes it good is the writing not the tech) but this was to scratch an itch that started when a highschool friend messaged me to insist LLMs are just one breakthrough from taking our jobs.
