No Assets, Just Agents: Questioning the Value of Critics Loops

The author showcased a 3D scene built purely in Three.js (0 external assets), generated primarily by Claude 5.0 Opus using 18 agents working on specific tasks, with only one minor correction prompt.
- Workflow Critique: The author questions the industry-standard "Critics Loops", suggesting they waste time and money. The demo shows that using many specialized agents (18) for specific tasks yields better results than fewer agents relying on a QA agent for feedback.
- Cost vs. Quality: A QA agent cannot match a human tester. Furthermore, running 18 agents for 24 hours would burn through token budgets rapidly. The author argues it's more optimal to have humans perform the critic loop.
