Here's a quick 3 min clip of the game I'm currently working on. I didn't realize till now, but the music track loops right at the beginning of the clip, so apologies for that weirdness.

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.

actually when you get to heaven you find that god is not there but you're told if you follow the rules you get to go to heaven 2 where his seat actually is

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 5d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

My partner and I keep looking at the switch 2 as a worse (for our situation) steam deck. I have a feeling that it'll be one of the last consoles we buy. It just doesn't make sense anymore with how expensive everything is.

Anything that's interesting is much more likely on pc these days anyway.

all of this is to say, if you don't provide advanced tools or pipelines for developers, to leverage all of this "new power", then you will only end up with a handful of AAA games that each cost 60-150 million to make

those games will be boring by default, because no company wants a $150mil risk

No. No. No.

(Nothing against Steven, I used to do this too until I learned that it was a bad idea.)

Swim goggles hit by a projectile (like a tear gas canister or pepper ball) can direct force to the area around your eyeball and pop it out of your skull.

NOT desirable.

Steven W. Thrasher is finishing The Overseer Class @thrasherxy.bsky.social · 2d

Pro tip to reporters and protesters: always have swim goggles in your pockets or bags. They’re small, $10 and if tear gas is used, slip them on & no matter how much you cough, you’ll still be able to SEE without burning eyes.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

at some point I really think there needs to be some sort of large scale pushback on Valve for their complete abdication of responsibility in moderating steam forums to every individual developer regardless of whether or not they asked for it, allowing this tumour to completely fester.

This was a long survey but i filled it out. They very much feel its a forgone conclusion that we have to dump the entire economy into AI. I suggest focusing on how machine learning can be useful in science and cybersecurity but that generative AI is a waste of time and money.
