Laid off on Tuesday. The AI shipped my game by breakfast on Wednesday.

His role was cut on Tuesday morning, 22 September. That evening he asked the AI for something fun, gave it one standing instruction to go forward and only pause when his input was needed, and by 6:37 the next morning a three stage beat em up about the job hunt was live on the internet, with his real CV linked from the end card.

How it works

  1. Opened the session at 18:05 on Tuesday and the AI pitched a co op beat em up where the hiring process is the boss, At 19:18 he told it to go forward, make reasonable calls, and only pause when his input was required, the AI built the stages, art pipeline, sound and tests largely unattended, logging the calls it made without him, He play tested Wednesday morning, sent a fix list, and the game went live on Cloudflare at 06:37

Why it’s worth knowing

Ninety minutes of unattended work finished milestones planned for Thursday, and the whole game was live the morning after he lost his job.
