its an extension of the online avatar No one is sponsoring a game with 50 concurrent players at any given time. People are sponsoring because he is retweeting a mini video game to his 600k following. For every tweet, ads get shown by taking a peak at the game or viewing his clips that clearly show the ads. It's a cool little AI game but lets be real about the distribution effects. kudos to him!

@levelsio This is a demonstration of marketing and distribution, not game quality. Churn's gonna be a bitch

@levelsio 3 hours?!!! lol clearly downplaying the complexity here even with help of AI. the current 67k MRR cumulatively has got to be at least a few days of actual work.

OpenAI is betting on a little-known startup to stay ahead of Elon Musk in the supercomputer race.

@levelsio Also not to forget distribution here, his following and the idea that it’s a spite game were a big piece here too!

@levelsio You guy just need to care more about security. Create a multi-player game really need to care about security. Nore more AI wrapper where one user, one workspace. Don't let hacker attack your users. Do you love your users?

@levelsio > Well, what if people prefer it that way? 10 CCUs and 1 minute average playtime say they don’t. It’s not a game for players to play. It’s bait for twitter engagement farming.

@levelsio How can we solve the distribution problem for AI game devs and vibe coders who don’t have 600k followers? That solution will be the first to $100M ARR

Everyone keeps asking: "What's wrong with web3 gaming?" Spoiler: It's not cold start problems. It's not player retention. It's not lack of narrative. Web3 gave a generation of non-game developers access to millions in funding. They thought: “Let’s launch a token, spin up a studio, and build the next Fortnite… but with NFTs.” Reality: most had never built a real game before. So what happened? • Games got released way too early • Content was nonexistent • No real core loop, no polish • Empty lobbies from day one • And then they wondered: "Why aren’t players staying?" Because the games suck. The problem isn’t player liquidity or tooling. It’s that the people building these games had no business building games in the first place. They didn’t understand pacing, balance, content pipelines, or how to keep players engaged. A lot of Web3 games are just barely-playable prototypes disguised as live games. Why? Because these studios ran out of money before they were ready—or never scoped the game properly to begin with. And it’s not just the games. It’s the studios themselves. • No clear leadership. • No product vision. • No dev pipeline. • No publishing strategy. Just vibes, Discord mods, and Tokenomics spreadsheets. And you wonder why the token is going down only? Now enter AI. Cool tools. Great potential. But let’s be clear: AI doesn’t fix bad judgment. If you don’t know how to design and ship a good game, AI isn’t going to save you. It’ll just help you fail faster. The edge AI offers in this space is to the people who already know what they’re doing. A real game designer with AI is dangerous. AI can scale content, speed up dev time, automate workflows—yes. But none of that matters if the core game is still boring. If the team doesn’t understand games. If no one wants to play. TLDR: AI won't save Web3 gaming. But it might amplify the few studios that know what they’re doing. The rest? They'll just fail faster—with slightly smarter bots. I am still bullish on a select few web3 games, but the majority are going to die and for good reason. Rant over

David Friedberg: “Gaming is the future of entertainment, and the future of gaming is AI.” @jason: “Friedberg, what are your thoughts on the gaming industry versus social media versus traditional media?” david friedberg: “One way to answer that question is to think about how people spend their time.” “Do you spend more minutes on social media, or on traditional media, or playing games? And how is that trending?” “But importantly, which of those will accrue more benefit, and as a result, drive more hours spent from AI?” “One way to think about this thesis is that AI is going to ultimately accrue to video game entertainment far more than social media entertainment or traditional content.” “If you believe in AI, and you believe in the improvements in productivity, generally speaking, people in the industrialized world will generally have more free time on their hands and be able to support themselves with the deflationary effects of AI over time.” “So if there's more time on people's hands, the general market for entertainment is growing, and if the general market for entertainment is growing, gaming is the future of entertainment, and the future of gaming is AI.” “Because I think you can create dynamic, more engaging experiences that will benefit from a back and forth sort of relationship than you can with traditional content or with social media.” “If you're a noob in Fortnite, like you're an early player in Fortnite, you're mostly playing against AI, because what they do is they tune the AI to be easier to beat so that you can slowly develop your skills.” “What was happening early was they were seeing a high degree of churn in Fortnite because kids would go on and play for the first time and they'd get paired up with kids that were better than them, and so they would never win, and they would get frustrated and they would quit the game and stop.” “So the churn rate was high. So AI unlocked higher engagement and higher retention, and I think we're seeing that in a lot of different gaming platforms now.” “So AI can be used, for example, to maximally increase time, engagement, satisfaction, happiness.”

The Ultimate "50x Investment Treasure Map" Of Metaverse Crypto My full guide to what I believe will be the easiest 20x+ in investing in the next 2 years +Exactly where I think the biggest easy wins will be (Give a like + comment, 2 will win a $2000 NT Citizen NFT) What people seem to be missing is that AI will completely change how the gaming space works. We will start seeing 3 things primarily -INFINITE games : These are games where AI can endlessly create AAA content, even with a small dev team. -MERGING of game universes : Similar to "Ready Player 1" I see thje world folding into a few BIG metaverses with the games already inside them -AI NFT assets : Right now NFTs dont really make sense because they are stuck to 1 game. In the future NFTs will have the AI modeling data cooked into them allowing ANY game to import LARGE chunks of NFTs and then AI will use the data to model the item into the game effortlessly If you combine all these together, we are going to see much bigger implications to NFTs/In game assets/digital currency as games will become more like giant blobs of many games/worlds with HUNDREDS of different teams working on them with their own AIs building their "part of the world". NFTs will also cross digital planes, giving them far more weight in gaming/metaverse status. NEXT I believe by 2035 MANY people will spend most of their time in VR and connected to AR. This means working, socializing AND gaming. The only way to transact, verify ownership and do business transactions (say paying someone to YOUR AR ad on their shirt) will be via blockchain and NFT tech. Again this will create a huge wave. FINALLY : The main course, the easy X's All the above is cool, but they are long term thesis's. The SHORT term is this The metaverse narrative is building right now. Its a matter of TIME before a game pops off on Twitch that heavily uses NFTs and gets bigger than Axie. I'm talking mainstream use. Once this happens the ENTIRE game crypto market (currently at 8 bil) will sky rocket to at least 100 but more than likely 300-500. Good coins, bad coins, all will blow past old all time highs regardless of merit and we will see a "meme coin" like mania...the pent-ultimate shit coin rally. Anyone who is prepared for this narrative early and gets in when see the makers I discuss on this video can in my opinion hit 20-50x consistently during this time. FYI...If you want the edge here, you should be in NEO Tokyo. Enjoy the vid!

🚨BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT OF MY LIFE: I've been working on something big these last few months It's called Creator Buddy, and it's the best AI content tool you'll ever use It's an AI content coach that will help you create WAY better content on X It's jam packed with awesome AI tools that will help you create content that attracts you a massive audience: • AI coach that reviews all your old content to let you know what's working • AI content repurposing tool that helps you take a tweet and turn it into videos, blogs, and other forms of content • Brain dumping tool that takes what's on your mind and turns it into content • A bookmarking tool that's like X bookmarks except actually useful This is the most important project of my life and I can't wait for you to try it out The biggest challenge I see for content creators on X is they struggle to find their voice. They struggle to figure out what their niche should be or what they should talk about Creator Buddy solves this It's not an AI tool that creates you content. It's an AI tool that helps you discover who you are and what makes you unique and interesting. I'm launching Creator Buddy in the next month or so and want you to test it out. Beta testing begins in the next week and the first wave of users will be my subscribers on X I'll also be choosing 10 random people who like/RT this post to beta test it early Second wave will be through my newsletter (link in bio) Third wave will be to my reply guys (make sure to reply early and often) Creator Buddy is going to be the single greatest AI content creation tool and I can't wait for you to use it!
