it's me from various websites. hopefully this website doesn't suck (avatar @c2type.bsky.social)
i love to have an apartment with two grounded outlets, one ungrounded GFCI without a "no equipment ground" sticker, and ten 2-prong ones, including a fridge plugged into a 2-prong using a 2-to-3 cheater adapter whose ground tab is floating (I moved the fridge to one of the grounded ones at least)
So I wanted to imagine what Mail from Falcom's Popful Mail would look like in a modern style. Taking examples from recent Trails & Ys games. Examples like Shizuna & Karja and the weird obsession with asymmetry. My friend munchiez was more than up to the task and killed it!
if the paint.net guy wanted to reimplement the direct2D API developed by a whole team of programmers at microsoft with their nearly unlimited budget into a completely different software environment, which essentially entails writing the entire API from the ground up, why didnt he simply Hire A Dev?

incredible that you can thanklessly work on something for 22 years and then be retroactively declared a hack because you used AI to do something that would otherwise be intractable for a single human to do in a timely fashion lotta cutting off your nose to spite your face in the replies here
I suspect normies won't believe LLMs are affecting software development until utterly insane things like this start showing up in the software they use. and yes I know these particular examples are not useful. let's not rehash the pretext debacle wcandillon.github.io/redraw/
![Feb 2024: "I believe we're reaching the upper limits about what generative AI can do and how accurate its outputs can be."
Wrong4
March 2024: "Have We Reached Peak AI?"; another prediction that hallucinations mean that AI progress is limited to then-current levels
Wrong
April 2024: "As I previously warned, artificial intelligence companies are running out of data ..."; another prediction that models can't improve because there's no more data
Wrong
June 2024: OpenAI growth is stalling (with the implication it will continue to stall), which will lead to some kind of collapse of OpenAI
Wrong (it could be the case that OpenAI will collapse but, if so, it won't be due to any kind of growth stall from 2024)
July 2024: "Generative AI, as I said back in March, is peaking, if it hasn't already peaked. It cannot do much more than it is currently doing, other than doing more of it faster with some new inputs"
Wrong
July 2024: "Generative AI models aren’t getting more energy-efficient, nor are they getting more “powerful” in a way that would increase their functionality, nor are they even capable of automating things on their own [July 2024]"
Wrong5
August 2024: "generative AI is a dead-end technology that has peaked”
Wrong
August 2024: re-iteration that the AI bubble has 3 quarters to prove itself (from March 2024) or there will be a collapse
Wrong6
September 2024: "o1 shows that OpenAI is both desperate and out of ideas", with a re-iteration of the idea that models can't improve due to lack of data
Wrong
Oct 2024: OpenAI's forecast of $3.7B revenue in 2024 and $11.6B in 2025 and $100B in 2029 are absurd, "a statement so egregious that I am surprised it's not some kind of financial crime to say it out loud"
Wrong (2025 goal exceeded, 2029 TBD but not an egregious financial crime level of implausible)
Oct 2024: "[OpenAI revenue] growth is already slowing…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2mrgzk6xlemfv6yugn644xxy/bafkreigvfeplyc2h64aigu3v7bryiwedhemivwghrxyqyji4nuqs347tde)
