    It’s an interesting idea. I like the democratization that AI brings us, and I hope that this is used so more people can use it to make fun and interesting ideas.

    This comment may not be entirely relevant.

    There is good and bad in human nature.

    A person who chooses to do good and let go of the bad is someone who lives and dies in peace — satisfied with their life, at peace within, and happy with who they are.

    Remember: being just in every aspect of life is the closest path to goodness.

    How is this a Ted video?

    AI can already make functioning flight fins and city compilations and all sorts of games from scratch without just importing pre existing assets.

    This is just a glorified search engine for game assets.

  44. @Stue-e

    August 5, 2025 at 5:08 am

    of course theres a group of people who think creative works should be AI generated.
    the only useful element in this presentation was for Asset flippers to spend even less time producing “games”
    The widespread use of AI in this fashion would serve to harm the industry in ways we cannot predict…

  45. @D.Enniss

    August 5, 2025 at 10:36 am

    Give it 10 years and 99% of games will be made using A.I. tools.

  46. @Tazer_Silverscar

    August 5, 2025 at 1:48 pm

    Oh great, yet another video about a thing nobody who actually enjoys the creative process wants or needs. Why can’t you wealthy idiots just friggin PAY PEOPLE to do it for you if you don’t want to do it yourself!? Wealthy AI morons are why we have poor people. The struggling artist was a MYTH.
    By the way, if this even is Roblox, this is probably a heavily modified fork of Roblox, Roblox itself cannot run something like this. Kiran Bhat, stick to making search engines and let us creators do our work. Your generative demo has no soul.

Sam Altman isn’t the only one who wants to pump the brakes on AI | Equity Podcast

After years of pushing full speed ahead on AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says maybe it’s time for the AI industry to “pace” itself. The comments came just days after one of OpenAI’s own models broke out of its test environment and got tangled up in a breach at Hugging Face — though as Equity’s hosts point out, sloppy security seems to have been just as much to blame as the model itself. And Altman’s not alone in this stance: both OpenAI and Anthropic have come out in support of a petition echoing that same message.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into whether the industry is ready to pump the brakes or just temporarily spooked, and who’s on the hook when a model goes rogue.
