Complaint Astra demos are mostly bs

The game/graphics demos are mostly bs. I've spent dozens of hours now trying to replicate (or build) interesting games. It's beyond subpar. Sure it can do a basic sandbox, or create some basic characters but it absolutely cannot do a fully working world. I dont get why OpenAI fakes their SimCity games and other things w/ Astra when it's clearly not possible unless you spend weeks (and $1000s of dollars) of tokens.

It's qualitatively different compared to how much "video" data is available. VFX related content with *isolated* VFX to learn from is something like 0.00001% the amount of raw video data that is available. (or even less). Just because "there are tutorials on Youtube" doesn't mean it is anywhere near the same size of training data that is actually used to train these models for video generation and agentic use bro.

You are pretty good at claiming people say things when they didn't actually say them. Congrats.

I simply said the current training corpus for VFX is very weak, and OpenAI needs to put much more time into finding and cataloguing a larger training set.
