Seen a few "but AI isn't bad for the environment" posts today and uh, a reminder that the AI industry itself is telling our politicians that their existence is incompatible with European climate goals, so maybe that's not great? www.politico.eu/article/euro...
Europe must choose between AI and climate goals, data center lobby says
Tech sector says only carbon-emitting gas plants are reliable enough today to power the EU’s AI goals.

on one hand yes, using ai to fix bugs is not the same as vibe coding the whole thing but ai is also a fundamentally rotten tech that represents the worst of capitalism. is it even possible to engage with something like that responsibly? i dont have a good answer to that
Aftermath@aftermath.site · yesterdayBig Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate: aftermath.site/big-walk-ai-ig...
there's no such thing as "AI art", just genAI images there's no such thing as "AI music", just genAI audio there's no such thing as "AI film", just genAI video there's no such thing as "AI writing", just genAI text there's no such thing as "AI acting/actors", just a piece of software
downchasm@downchasm.bsky.social · 2mo agowe should move away from helping establish the term “AI art” and passively granting legitimacy call it “AI graphics”, “AI imagery“, but the word “art” should not enter the vocabulary when describing slop likewise, ”AI text” is preferable to letting it have any association with the writing process
AI for brainstorming sounds so pathetic Just imagining the most talented creatives in our industry going "chatbbb I need to make a new Smash game what do I do???"
AI Games Alert@aigamesalert.bsky.social · 2d agoSmash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai says he isn't using generative AI—even for brainstorming—and warns it must not exploit others. But he says game development is so demanding that refusing AI outright could leave studios behind. https://www.famitsu.com/article/202611/93352
The Nvidia spy thing is just one of the many, many reasons it's an absolutely terrible idea to let society be run by a small, tight-knit group of extraordinarily wealthy/powerful egotists and their big corporations. It's a really obvious failure case, among all the others!
oh shit bro is anti ai AND anti ideas guy
Ryan T. Brown 🎮🩷@toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk · 2d agoSmash Bros. and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai says he has never used AI, and is sceptical of its usability: “There’s more [to game development] than simply coming up with an idea [...] we can come up with better ideas by thinking about them for ourselves" (Read more at Kotaku)
ran into this instead and fuckin cheered. turns out there's still shit out there willing to do it right.
hahaha, fuck us all, we're all going to die because a bunch of incels need virtual girlfriends.

I'm just happy that the chinese spy that honeypotted the nvidia CEO was of an appropriate age for him, and he can hold that over the entirety of the rest of the techpstein class
As always, leave me behind. I'm never going to make a high resolution game with all the fancy things. I'll just stay here and make low res games that run on anything, because that's really all most players need.
AUTOMATON WEST@automatonwest.bsky.social · 2d agoMasahiro Sakurai doesn’t use AI for his games, but believes that avoiding it entirely could cause devs to fall behind in the “far-too-demanding” industry…
The extremely AI-pilled are going to turn increasingly fascist as they realize fascism is the only political ideology that can embrace their delusions
[LVL 36]Alsvid Wotansdottir🧿@alsvid.bsky.social · 2d agoI think someone should take a big fat shit in this guy's upper tank of his toilet. YOU SEE WHAT I BE TALMBOUT ON HERE? Even on the FUCKING so-called Woke Website, I cannot escape Liberal Pilled Cop Brains who think all Lumpenproletarians are subhuman drug smoking lazy layabouts.
Every piece of software is a ticking time bomb now and this is why.
Rick Desilets | The D-Pad@ricdesi.dpad.fm · 2d agothe inevitable heat death of ai code comprehension
1.5-2 years for the tech debt to really start sinking in was what I predicted while being generous so this tracks. Given most whole hog agentic coding started between the first and second quarter of 2026 I would expect this to get a lot more common throughout 2027
Patricia Aas 🐢🏳️🌈@patigallardo.bsky.social · 3d agoI mean… Good luck, I guess?
Lol. Lmao. So it looks like AI coding has been a thing long enough for the Consequences to crop up. Like gee. Who could have possibly forseen this.
Patricia Aas 🐢🏳️🌈@patigallardo.bsky.social · 3d agoI mean… Good luck, I guess?
programmers forget code they wrote 3 months ago if they haven't touched it and reacquainting oneself with it is a regular part of the process, no shit you're gonna have a shambling junk heap if it's all been codegened for a year
Paralax^Speckdrumm@paralax.at · 3d agoJust stumbled upon this. Teachable moment, mostly for management. Poor devs, they could have seen this coming. www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode...
AI is a technofascist project built on pillaging the commons to facilitate a wealth transfer to the ultra wealthy. it is not "just a tool" unless you're somehow immune to moral injury and prepared to completely disregard the political, ethical, and environmental aspects of the thing
i would like to remind you all as the AI bubble starts deflating that not too long ago scammy altman was talking about creating a dyson sphere to power AI it's important none of us forget the soaring heights of their stupidity or how the majority of tech press took this shit fully 100% seriously
You're kidding yourself if you think that an app that has years of expertise in building browser-based UIs suddenly switching to Rust UIs on all platforms in 2026 is going to be anything besides layoffs and vibe coded slop

If you see a game created with UE6: Do not buy it
Epic Games further doubles down on gen-AI tools for Fortnite, Unreal Engine 6 and more: "Our engineers are no longer writing the bulk of the code"
Epic Games has confirmed it's using AI-assisted vibe-coding for everything from Unreal Engine 6 to Fortnite and beyond.
