    You can finally BUILD your DREAM GAME In UNREAL ENIGNE 🤯

    Higgsfield just sent ComfyUI a cease and desist over its Open Source Higgsfield challenge, and ComfyUI's CEO replied with two words: the irony. Then we show two experiments with Codex inside Unreal Engine. The first is a playable Superman prototype with guns, ragdolls, cape simulation and laser eyes, built with no templates. The second is a samurai mocap cleanup that cost us three weeks the first time. Finally, Google's Genie 4 world model, and why it feels like lucid dreaming in real life.

    OpenAI just dropped GPT-6.1 Terra, and it claims Astra-level results at a tenth of the price. We share how its computer use claimed a flight delay by chatting to a real airline agent and found us rental cars over WhatsApp. Then Anthropic filed to go public at up to $2 trillion with an $80 billion loss on the books, and we explain why that loss is mostly not real cash.

    Unreal Engine + AI Is 10X FASTER 🚀

    We gave Unreal Engine's MCP three photos and it built all three as real, explorable Unreal scenes: a mossy forest, a Cambodian water temple and a ruined pillar hall. It added falling leaves, custom meshes and a hidden shadow plane without being asked. Then we tested the lataset 5.8 MetaHumans updates. We turned a goblin mesh into a fully rigged MetaHuman and animated it from a single video with markerless motion capture in about a minute. What used to take us two weeks now takes an hour. Finally, the Ramayana Trailer 2 VFX review you kept asking for. This video is powered by Epic Games.

    Can AI Edit Videos like a Pro?

    We gave Higgsfield's new Katana a 21 Savage music video and screenshots from our boring, static-camera Canada vlog. It rebuilt the vlog in that style, with a boat shot and a drone shot we never filmed. It also burned 3,000 credits, half our monthly plan. We show the horrible first attempt, the prompt that fixed it, and how to do it for a quarter of the cost. Then Tim Sweeney is retooling all of Epic for AI and says every tool you use is obsolete in 12 months. A game developer called it billionaires pushing slop. Sweeney, who wrote Unreal Engine 1 himself, called that b******t. We pick a side. Try Autodesk Flow Studio: http://flowstudio.com 🔥 Ready to level up with AI?

    GPT-6 ASTRA turned a FLOOR PLAN into a 3D House in Blender

    Claude Opus 5.5 just dropped, so we put it against GPT-6 Astra on our own benchmark. It modelled, textured, rigged and animated an octopus in Blender from scratch in about two hours, then tried to rebuild the same Vancouver building Astra nailed two weeks ago. Then the big one: we spent three days turning a Zillow listing into a walkable 3D house in Unreal Engine with a floor-plan dashboard hooked up to IKEA, so you can drag real furniture into a home that does not exist yet. And Ali, founder of SalesCloser AI, on AI sales agents that close deals in 70 languages.

    You can now make your own Higgsfield? 👀😮

    Higgsfield says it open-sourced its 5.4 billion dollar app. It's fake. We went into the GitHub and all you get is a thin UI that calls their paid API. No weights, no training, no way to build anything without paying them. We break down what they actually released and how creator networks make a launch like this look organic. Then a miracle: Neuralink restored speech for a man who lost it to ALS, and we show him talking to his wife by thought alone. And Figure's Helix 2.5 sends robots into 30 homes they have never seen to make beds and fold laundry, impressive, slow, and it raises the question of who pays when one throws out your jewellery.

    We used GPT-6 + Blender & Unreal Engine to recreate a HOUSE Listing in 3D 🚀

    We spent 48 hours training GPT-6 Astra to make motion graphics in After Effects, and then had it recreate Higgsfield and Iman Gadzi style animations from scratch, with pre-training and post-training versions side by side so you can see what it took. Then we took a real Zillow listing and had Astra read the floor plan and rebuild the house in Blender and Unreal Engine. We show three community projects, a robot that paints, a Blender-built web game, and an interactive bookshelf site, before the debate we could not avoid: the singularity, and what the next two years do to every digital job.
