@OfficialLoganK This is super exciting! For my use case, I would need to generate a LOT of images, but the quality of them can be very low. Is there any chance of being able to reduce the output quality in order to reduce costs? This native image output could be huge for me, but too costly.

Native image generation with Gemini 2.0 Flash is now available to all developers via an experimental release in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio!! The chat based image editing and creation is so much fun to play with 🧵

@OfficialLoganK I'm really curious what the price is gonna be...

Native image output with Gemini 2.0 Flash is so powerful, very excited for this to roll out more widely... Example of an interaction I just had, this could really change how people do creative work (please excuse the classic off by one error here)!

@OfficialLoganK Automatic token caching, or at least allowing smaller batches than 32k tokens. Right now it's pretty much useless except for the extreme end of things.

When a lay in bed late at night trying to sleep, the thing that keeps me up is the question of if we are doing enough for developers, what we could be doing that we aren’t, etc.

@OfficialLoganK Hi Logan! Really appreciate all the work you and your team have been doing, and have been especially enjoying the Flash experimental model. Any word on when that might go from experimental to production?

@FalconeerDev Hah yeah, the trick is finding where what you want to make can overlap with what people want to buy. Though, I think it's true that in order to make something that stands out you've got to weigh "what you want to make" heavier than the other. Otherwise you'll make a derivative.

@FalconeerDev I really feel this, especially what you said about giving players a specific experience and feeling. It's honestly what I live for, as dramatic as that sounds.

@FalconeerDev Going back to what you said, one of the things that I think is core is crafting the emotional landscape of the game. At least for the types of games I want to make, I want there to be peaks and valleys emotionally. In the end this makes for a much more memorable experience.

@FalconeerDev In the end the Board cares about this planet because of fleshy growths that they realized could be used to take regular employees and turn them into super soldiers to create their own army.

@SplattrCatGames Now that I think about it, it does sound absurd that it hasn't been added yet. It would add a lot of value for creators, and thus YouTube itself.

I really wish youtube would get the lead out and release A/B testing already. This is a bog standard core qol thing that should have been platform wide in 2017 and they have only to gain from it. It would be great for creators, great for their bottom line a win win win.

@SplattrCatGames I'm really, really happy to hear this Splat! You're basically the only gaming YouTuber I watch. You have the perfect format imo, and are really insightful. I think you're right to play just what you want. I hope, and believe, that this'll help you keep the passion alive.

Aight so I should be officially back. Was on the fence about it but today felt good. I think it's just there's nothing ever that feels worth playing anymore, it all just kinda runs together. I'm gonna focus on making stuff about only things I want to.

@SplattrCatGames I'm curious what your thoughts are on models like Adobe Firefly, which is trained only on images they own the license to?

I'm actually quite disappointed to see steam walk this back. Their first stance was the correct one. Unless every single piece of art harvested for training data was permitted by the original creator it is tremendously unethical and shouldn't be on the storefront.

@UnbelievaBoat Just a dev looking out for a fellow dev :) Here's where Discord advises about it being PII: discord.com/moderation/402…

@EdvardDashD Additionally, once the bot is removed all data is deleted within 30 days which is less time than needed to respond to delete requests per GDPR. However, I do appreciate your concerns. In the future, you can directly email us privacy questions via support@unbelievaboat.com (2/2).

@UnbelievaBoat Hello! I'm a game dev that's thinking about creating a game in my Discord server to help build a community. I want to be sure the bots I use meet GDPR compliance.

@UnbelievaBoat Okay, thank you for the explanation! As a heads up, it seems Discord advises that the user id is considered "personally identifiable information." Because of that, under GDPR individual users are supposed to have an easy way to delete this information stored about them.

@EdvardDashD Hi! Each server has it's own economy, which can be modified by the server administrators or by the end user at any time. In the database, they are linked via Discord User ID, which is public information from Discord itself that anyone can get.

Specifically, I'd like to understand how user wallets are being linked to specific accounts? Is it using the Discord user id? Because that would be considered PII under GDPR.

I looked into the privacy policy which says that no personally identifiable information is collected, but I would like to have a bit more information before I'd feel comfortable using the bot.
