Made a reply post earlier, replete with 5 images, each with full alt text descriptions. Hit reply, get the "uploading images" message, then get a blank page. The content wasn't saved (no drafts for replies), and not only did it kill my tab, my whole browser became unresponsive. So that's neat.

Good level of transparency here. For me, this sounds like a reasonable set of stances and safeguards for an open source project. Above all, yeah, I dig the honesty, lets each dev make their own call.

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

Godot's current policy on AI-assisted contributions reads like this: "The use of AI to contribute to Godot is discouraged, and contributions made entirely by AI are prohibited. We acknowledge that AI can be useful, but we are convinced that human effort results in better and more relevant contributions. If you do use AI, we expect that you put in effort to proofread and improve anything it generates, and that you disclose what you used AI for. As maintainers spend significant time reviewing your code, please make sure that the code you submit is well-tested and functional. Please be respectful of their time and only submit something you have put thought and effort into."

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

Why so many game developers don't want to use generative AI

With credits ranging from Dispatch and Marvel Rivals to Uncharted and Dragon Age, over 30 devs share their thoughts on gen AI

This video is rather depressing. With a legacy once built upon an incredible history of pioneering and pushing videogame artwork forwards, Epic have arrived at this frustrating and disappointingly myopic sloperation no one will be able to follow when token cost is increased to match compute costs.

this is a good example of how the explicit goal with AI is to relentlessly erase humanity "we decided to not have anyone care to do this step" and just like that, the sense of wonder looking at this piece of art is lost, along with the jobs artists would've had youtu.be/ZR2xbcf3Xyw?...

Like professors, I'm suggesting we should integrate our health disorders into our names when we introduce ourselves to new people. Hi! Nice to meet you. I'm Glynn, CPAP, ADHD, and I've got a Type 1 in Diabetes 🧐

Not only does it immediately kill my interest in something but. 30 million gallons of drinking water consumed. Art theft. Wage theft. Noise pollution. Skyrocketing prices. Lack of consent for images. Manipulative deep fakes. Even if it was ethical the lack of regulation at its birth has poisoned it.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026) Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al. Kane: Absolutely not. For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that. When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

r/GithubCopilot • 11m ago Could not check Confident-Hotel1700 Just one prompt and I got 50% of my whole month credits using Claude Sonnet 4.6. General This is hilarious. For context I used the Copilot Orchestrator that has Condutor, Planning, Implementator and Code review agents. But with the new "usage based pricing", seems like this is not an ideal setup anymore? Anyone has the same experience here? I am on Copilot Prot.

Wes Streeting supports the Cass Report and Palantir's UK govt contracts. Either he lacks the critical thinking skills to evaluate the evidence/arguments against them, or he ignores these things for ideological or other reasons. Either one makes him unfit to be PM in my view. (Not going to debate it)
