I made a quick sketch and transformed it into a hyper-realistic image in a matter of minutes. Here's what that looked like! The detail level in the final version almost make me question our reality.. almost😅 Speaking of that, this actually reminds me of the feeling I had after...

It looks incredible, and the way it gets better so fast, makes me think, that we might be in a sort of metaverse/matrix/simulation, and now we create a simulation within a simulation, haha! Deep stuff :D

That's probably not as far out as it sounds :D Had this idea that our reality is something another civilization made their AGI run to keep it occupied and to avoid getting wiped out themselves by it.. I wonder if anyone ever wrote a sci-fi novel about that.

Give it 3 years or less and you will definitely question reality

Until it can turn into a 3D scene with each physical object that have physics, until it can make us touch every generative piece that feels real, until we can smell the screne, it isn’t complete.

Day 18. Building the game I've dreamed of for 15 years with AI. I've learned how to build proper levels with AI. I take the design and the architecture, and AI helps me put it all together and check the balance. I made the first level of my game almost entirely by hand. I wanted to understand how it works and what I like, from how big the trees should be to how the textures tile. After a day digging around in the terrain tools it all made sense, and I could see how much of it could be automated by painting zones. Claude helped me a lot with the tileable textures. Matching the colors took a ton of iterations, and that was the hardest part of the whole level. For level two I took a different route. I built myself a simple HTML planner with a logical map of the level, where I place everything and design the layout. Painting a level and making it fun to play are two different jobs, so I kept the design for myself. We even made automated tests with Claude: 2D simulations that show which routes a player takes and how hard the level is. They're rough, but they give a real sense of how the level plays. Once the plan was ready, I handed everything to Claude, and 3-4 hours later I had a working level. It reused the patterns from my first level, scattered objects unevenly so nothing looks placed on a grid, and generated extra props whenever I asked. I showed it one example, it picked up what worked, and we turned that into a skill for the next levels. The video is a quick flight over level two, then how it got there, from my first sketch to the version I play now.

Alex Proyas on the Commercial failure of 'Dark City' (1998) & its similarities with 'The Matrix' (1999): "Interviewer: Are you surprised by how big a cult film it has become? Proyas: I was surprised it didn't achieve commercial success initially, but I'm happy it has had this long-lasting life after the fact. I was pretty disappointed the studio hadn't really managed to sell the movie in the way that they could have. I don't think they really knew what to make of it quite frankly. The studio put out a trailer that was quite clever. It was completely non-narrative, just music and imagery. The guys who made the trailer specifically wrote a piece of music for the trailer, and the whole thing felt handcrafted and definitely had a personality. I think people were genuinely impressed by it but it didn't explain to them what the movie was or give them an idea of the kind of experience they were going to get. I think it made audiences think it was some kind of a horror movie. As a result people kind of overlooked it in the theaters. I know 99% of the people who loved it and always ask me about it are people who saw it on video years later. How do you feel about the similarities the later 'The Matrix' (1999) has to 'Dark City' (1998)? If I answer that question honestly it sounds like sour grapes because obviously 'The Matrix' did better commercially than 'Dark City' did. 'Dark City' came out a year before 'The Matrix', one of my producers on 'Dark City' worked on 'The Matrix', and the Wachowskis saw 'Dark City' a good nine months before 'Dark City' came out in the theaters, so they had a good run at picking the more important cherries off the cake. I feel like it's a question I can't answer in any more detail than that, other than to say that maybe the Wachowskis should be asked the question rather than me." (Alex Proyas' interview with Paul Rowlands, 2017)

Edward Yang on the impact of watching Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972): "I found a job in Seattle at a research laboratory that contracted to do classified defense projects in microcomputers. I was among the first generation of designers and applicators for microcomputers and microprocessors. By the time I turned thirty I was pretty well established, with a team of seven or eight guys working on some very interesting projects. Later on I made the association that designing is like writing, and I realized that this background helped me a lot. After a couple of years as an engineer, of course, the routine bored me. One night, I was driving after work in downtown Seattle, and I saw a billboard outside a movie theater with the words, German New Wave, and the title, Aguirre: The Wrath of God. It made me curious, so I went in. I was fortunate. I came out a different person. That two hours just blew me away. It restored my sense of competence that I could be a filmmaker. This is what I thought a film should be. Film school would never teach you to make those kind of shots. That was one of the crucial moments of my life. I had turned thirty, I thought I was getting old, and three more years passed before I got the chance to work on a film project with a friend who asked me to write a script for him. I went back to Taipei, and also visited Hong Kong for the first time, and the film was shot in Japan. I got an offer to write and direct a made-for-TV movie in Taiwan, so I didn't go back to Seattle." — The Engineer of Modern Perplexity: An Interview with Edward Yang by Robert Sklar, published in Cineaste, Vol. 25, No. 3 in 2000
