oh she is my whole heart

How I like to word it, as someone generally pro tech but anti "AI". Specific and purpose trained machine learning (with ethical training data) for things humans can't easily do (or takes an unreasonable amount of time) like complex data processing, can be good, and that existed before the hype boom.

I'm fine with machine learning with the correct conditions, but anything labeled AI I will assume the worst. That's the industry's own doing and they can lie in that bed. To me "AI" is a mindset, an attitude, a shitty movement, something we should 100% be against. Say you're not anti ML instead imo.

Messy desk photo while I work hard on wrapping up the design of my big Lego project. Been a combined 4+ months at this point cause I keep looking for improvements but I think it's time to finish! Will be released with instructions in the hopefully near future. #Lego #LegoMOC #RockRaiders

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

UNITY. DUTY. DESTINY.

Here was Shadow doing her "rob a purse" trick! This one will always be one of my favorites, and was one of the tricks that really taught me what amazing learners rats are! . I have a rat training book available here! www.etsy.com/listing/1605... amzn.to/484u2Mv

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

Suraj has a point.

Anyway I'm just going to say it outright: if you're an indie dev using AI for coding, above and beyond any other objections, what you're telling me is that you have no solidarity with anyone else in games. Not artists, not writers, not other coders. You beleive in personal convenience at all costs.

So a consequence of making a picross game is that I now have to make hundreds of pixel art pictures 😵 I've barely ever touched pixel art, but after having made a bit over 30 now I have to say I'm doing pretty good I think?!? These are some of my favorite so far! #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieDev #Picross

Made a nice little catapult system for my current game project, got some nice editor previews so you can see how and where a physics object will be flung before running the game. Also works and previews with gravity volumes which took some extra work, but is neat I think! #gamedev #indiedev

I bit the bullet and finally modeled and animated the main enemy for the portal-like game i am making with @funcmathias.bsky.social It is the first time ever i made a 3D animation and i think it came out pretty good. Let me know what you think! #indiedev #gamedev #Portal youtu.be/gFjHsTNO4Wk

Regular reminder that no wealth tax is going to stop this racist oligarch from destroying America. We must put Musk in prison for the crimes he has committed that are public knowledge—or others that have so far been hidden. The DOGE violations of federal law will be sufficient.

I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

it's still insane to me that valve never invest in game development outside their little studio. it's straightforwardly good business to start doing dev grants, or at least lower their cut until a dev makes a million bucks or whatever. the industry is falling apart and they wouldn't feel it at all

Joe Wintergreen@joewintergreen.com · 2y ago

imo vr was fucked forever once oculus started funding games on condition of exclusivity and nobody else funded them at all valve could have quadrupled any such investment without the exclusivity and not felt it at all. maybe wouldn't have saved vr, but sure woulda helped

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah. About whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Not whether some people deserve rights.

hey man we used AI in the production process of this game but don't worry none of it made it in the game, it was a huge waste of time and money, and we could've just looked at stock photos at the end of the day. You have to accept the future.

Some time ago, I decided to add my thoughts about "AI" to my site… #tech #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #GenAI #AISlop

i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding

Very well done video about delaunay triangulation by a new creator, currently sitting at 4 views after a day, give it some deserved attention!

Diphiniti@diphiniti.bsky.social · 3mo ago

A lot of game devs find themselves in situations where they need to make a mesh procedurally, and very quickly they face the problem of generating triangles. I've spent a while making this video, to make it simple and easy to understand #gamedev #madewithunity #computergraphics youtu.be/lR5PErxOGeA

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Needed a break from my big game dev project and been obsessed with Squeakross lately (@alblune.bsky.social), so I had a go at making a Picross game over the last month and it's going well! A bit different from what I usually make, so learned a few new things. #GameDev #IndieDev #Picross #Nonogram

This video kinda sucks like it's bad lighting and stuff but I just can't handle how cute this guy is. What do you mean I can cuddle in a blanket with the living beanie baby who also loves the interaction as much as me 😭😭😭 look at his boggles 🥹 I love rats man come ON
