The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving instruction sim where you instruct a generative-AI-powered, dynamic NPC, has been spending $1,000 dollars a day to keep the demo working.

So they didn’t even do the math for a basic cost forecast before launching the demo. Also this shit makes them vulnerable for bad actors. Just put this game on several PCs and run it 24/7 to bankrupt them.
What makes you think that the demo just got massively more popular than expected? This is probably an occam’s razor type of thing.
I’m more curious about how they were planning on structuring the full game to make a profit. Hopefully they’re just planning on using a client side ai, but that would likely make the demo somewhat deceitful.

You joke, but I run localized AI on my cell phone. The game looks very graphically simple, so really, it shouldn’t be too demanding for a smaller AI data set to respond fast enough.
