I'm making a conscious effort to do more things that have no extrinsic objective, to do things just for their own sake. This is a familiar concept, it's a hobby (or art?). I feel I'm missing some of the joy and satisfaction that life has to give by always needing a stated tangible objective.

This is made by a16z, ostensibly for business reasons. I am asking what their angle is.

As far as I know, they don't have much history in making things with "no extrinsic objective" - I could be wrong though.

You misunderstand what a16z-infra is. This is built by Convex, the game engine being used.

Convex is in a16z’s portfolio. https://a16z.com/2022/04/27/investing-in-convex/

That GitHub org is a16z.

Their other repos are also showcasing various AI toolings, often the tools are also startups they invest in.
