He/Him. I'm Kabanaw. I make music stuff in a big video game you've probably heard of. I don't really stream much anymore but pretty often guest on Pit Crew stuff!

I do understand this feeling, but I think it's also worth pointing out: These tools have absolutely zero evidence that they are capable of making good games, only evidence they're good at making mediocre to bad copycats. Yes, they're causing a ton of damage now, but now isn't forever.
Brenda Romero@brendaromero.bsky.social · last wk.A recent programming graduate who is currently working in the game industry described the grief she feels for the career she thought she was going to have. She loves to code, and she doesn’t want to surrender that in whole or in part to a tool, even if she understands its utility. “I am grieving.”
I mean. At the end of the day, the answer is "every single free dollar in the US economy is currently tied up in the AI bubble"

One annoying thing about this is the way that it's treated as a purely moral/ethical stance and not a matter of taste. I have very little interest in games that use AI not just because of the ethics, but simply because I am much less interested in creative works that used it!
Aura/Moom@moomanibe.bsky.social · 2w agoI'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...
A lot of people have noted "money" but I also want to point out that a couple of games hubs are where the schools were. Albany and Boston still have a decent number of studios because that's where the software engineers graduated

Final morning of solo parenting, the child has decided she wanted to wake up at 5 am. Tried getting her back to sleep but it seems like it'll just be a half hour of quiet rest, back to it
I'm a firm believer that the process is the point, even if all you care about is the output. Working through problems is how we develop new solutions. Sleeping on something is insanely important. Using tools to do it for you in a fraction of the time leads to stagnation. This is a real bummer
404 Media@404media.co · 3w ago"Historically, decompilation has been a brutally difficult, time consuming task." Now, AI is trivially doing it.
I think one of the most frustrating aspects of "but actually AI is actual useful for things now" is how quickly some people will abandon principled stances against something when there's something in it for them

One point brought up in this that I don't quite understand is how more compute == more income. Is there currently a bottleneck for consumers? I don't think I've ever seen someone complain that claude is currently backed up and can't fill their request
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 3w agoToday's newsletter is about how the AI bubble is inflated on the basis of made-up numbers that don't tell us anything, but serve to distract from the the fact that we have no actual information about the industry's financials. www.wheresyoured.at/annualized-e...
There is such a massive gulf between what AI can do as a code assistant and what it can do as a code generator and I think how positively you think of its abilities is how much you conflate them. Either that or I don't think your ability to evaluate code is terribly good
My daughter has been interested in using my water bottle lately and it's very cute and hold on why are my tonsils swollen
AI shit is so bad for my anxiety. On the one hand, you have lots of studies showing little to no productivity gains, but those are often somewhat out of date, and it has gotten _less_ shitty. On the other hand, people will report crazy gains using it but AI has always left people feeling like that
I think, if I’m being honest with myself, this is the main reason I refuse to touch these things. More so than being environmentally dilligent, even more so than wanting to avoid being a thief. I am very good at my job. I enjoy being very good at my job. I do not want to become less good at my job
I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art"

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting
