The first time that my work ever appeared in a print article was in May 1992. This single article set the stage for what was to come, and what brought me to this very moment in time.
Indie for life. Literally.

Feed a man fish for a day, and he'll survive.
Teach him how to fish, and he becomes self-sufficient.
As superstars who were believed to be wielders of digital alchemy, after years of making games for the people who buy and play them, we went and taught them how to make games.
The ensuing hilarity of what happens when gamers can just make their own games instead of buying ours, will be studied by alien civilizations trolling through our digital history.

It's bound to get worse. But go ahead and give your hapless agents CLI access to your mission-critical data. I will say a prayer for you.

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read. alexeyondata.substack.com/p/how-i-droppe…

This is likely to be a rather grating and unpopular take, but I'm just going to say it.
I believe that the primary reason why our games industry is in a never-before-seen rut is because most of the legacy people who actually cared, did the right thing, and nurtured the craft, are gone. Either retired, died, moved to less volatile vocations, cashed out - or just took a back seat (they're called advisors now) far away from the front lines of the fray.
Also greed. Once profits over all else became the norm, the die was cast.
It's unsustainable.
And once those looking for jobs exit the sector, they're not likely to return because they would be foolish to do so. Which means that, brain drain aside, recovery is going to be fraught with missteps and consequential machinations which aren't likely to solve anything.
Get out while you still can because, if like some of us, it's too late and you intend to stick around until the final days, it's inevitable that you will live to regret it in much the same way that the last two years were unprecedented and unforeseen. Save yourself because, in truth, nobody is coming to save you. It's mostly lies and feel good bs - to your detriment.
I helped build this. All of it. And I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

This is DOA. I can 99.999999% guarantee it.
If it ever sees the light of day, that is.
They're trying to shove "layered" AI into the one place that the tribe (aka gamers) are likely to collectively rebel against.
I mean, it's almost as if Microsoft isn't reading the room when it comes to how gamers regard AI "stuffing".
The ensuing fallout is going to be hilariously brutal. I mean, they're already banning "Microslop" across the board. Now this.
ps. Most of us already figured out that this is where they were likely going, but we didn't believe they were actually brave enough to do it. We were so wrong.

Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console. Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!

Grok is a shite model. It's why nobody mentions it in the same breath as other AI models.
I don't believe that it is particularly designed to 'defend Israel'. The whole model is just shite. I mean, below is my latest arg with it, in which I actually got it to admit to being wrong, and stupid, and shite.

This is insane. Grok has clearly been programmed to defend Israel. Look at the difference below between Grok 'roasting' Musk vs Netanyahu. Even when pushed, it won't break.

We've reached a new level of absurdity. I mean, seriously.
They're literally censoring harmless banter. And it's spreading. Slowly, then all at once.
I envision this being an inbound massive PR nightmare for Microsoft because gamers are particularly adept at any raising the roof for the most stupid of causes. This isn't that.

That is the sky over Israel — Iranian ballistic missiles pouring through seemingly without end in what was supposed to be the most sophisticated air defence architecture in the world. It is not being stress-tested. It is being hammered.
This is the salvo doctrine Iran spent eight years building specifically to do this — flood Patriot, exhaust THAAD, drain Arrow 3, and let the mathematics of empty magazines finish the work. Layer by layer. Night by night. Stocks of interceptors at dangerously low quantities.
Is this why Bibi fled? Did he know what was coming when he boarded that plane and flew to Berlin — leaving the Israeli people to endure the consequences of his bloodlust, his arrogance, and his incompetence? The man invoked the lion’s roar and the eternity of Israel, told his people to brace for heavy costs, then fled not like a lion but like a cowardly rat.

Well that escalated quickly. 🤣

@Cernovich @nikitabier This is all noise. There's no way on Earth they can detect let alone enforce this effectively - if at all. Scaring abusers into disclosure isn't an effective tool - and never was. Just ask the FCC, FTC and every org that tried this.
English
@nikitabier Great! Will this also apply to political influencer campaigns? A lot of people take money from lobbyists and other groups, and post it was their "original thoughts," when it's absolutely advertising paid for by some influencer shop.

Today we're announcing Paid Partnership labels on posts. X's core value is providing on authentic pulse on humanity.
While we want to encourage people to build their businesses on X, undisclosed promotions hurt the integrity of the product and lead people to distrust the content they read on X.
This new feature will allow you to comply with regulations, but more importantly: it enables you to be transparent with your followers.
