One-Shot Fable 5.1 Remakes a Call of Duty Demo, Fueling 'Software Priced at Electricity Cost' Take

A viral exchange: Fable 5.1 one-shot a Call of Duty-style FPS demo remake from a single screenshot (30 hours), prompting the take that "this is the worst it will ever be" — software will soon be priced at the cost of the electricity to generate it plus a nominal inference fee.
It captures the broader argument that AI coding is collapsing the marginal cost of software toward compute costs.
