Story

A developer shipped a collection of 80 browser mini-games generated on the Fable game-creation platform before its shutdown (53 points, 76 comments) (minigames.world). The thread turned into a discussion about the risk of building atop AI platforms that can vanish and strand your work. Good reminder: if your product lives entirely inside someone else's AI platform, your runway is their roadmap.
