007 First Light was an amazing game! Fantastic work all around!
It's funny how the pitch for SpaceX is domination of the global AI business but the company's primary business (~60% of revenue going forward) is leasing its GPUs to Anthropic and Google at a discount because nobody wants to use Musk's MechaHitler AI.

007 First Light is so good so far! All the tutorials are so clever.
Social Media is the greatest Confirmation Bias machine ever built and the older I get the more tired it makes me.
I just had the impossible happen, two GUIDs collide. After a long debug, I finally discovered why a Unity package wouldn't compile. It had a meta GUID that collided with another one in our project...but wait that should be borderline mathematically impossible. Thread. 🧵 1/
