I'd say "Sol Valley needs to be studied for how to completely miss the point of two whole subgenres of games at once," but there's really not much to study, is there

Some positive thoughts about agentic AI tools: The human writing pattern needed to help agents have appropriate context is *also* coincidentally good for human reading. So if you write prose with intent for a human to read it, an LLM is also going to build its context from it more easily.

Corporations underestimate my willingness to put up with broken shit to avoid advertising. My Samsung TV crashes and restarts when I turn it off because I won't accept the ToS and let it show me ads, and they never test for this use case

I don't have a wrapped because Spotify sucks. But Cult Subterranea got plenty of front-to-back plays, and I got to learn about Drowned God which is a hell of a rabbit hole.

unity seems to be 5% a game engine and 95% a way to generate Transactions by letting people sell each other various fragments of middleware in the hope that some day they might assemble a working game engine if they spend enough money

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I was like "wait isn't Latata an insanely popular song"
it is!
the song in Fortnite is not that song. it is something Suno-generated using the same name with a fake k-pop band.
I wonder why Tim Sweeney is so mad about the Steam AI disclaimer now!

SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?
