I am making a video game! It is inspired by two of my favorite games. @WorldofWarships and #Brotato. You wouldnt think these games would fit together, but this early prototype seems to say they can! To be up front, yes, this game heavily uses Gen AI. It allows me to focus on game design while it handles the engineering, audio, and art. I am primarily using @GeminiApp 3.0/3.1 and @ChatGPTapp. Using AI makes this a real possibility for me, as a 41-year-old with a full-time job and too many health issues to mention, doing traditional development just wouldn't be possible. Here is an early look at the current gameplay; however, the music and UI used here are outdated #gamedev #GenAI youtu.be/-D9jnTPP198?si…

@nickco I came real close to getting a Tesla for FSD, but I'm a 2 seater kind of guy

I don't understand. How are people not freaking out about this more? Since I last updated my car, it has driven 98% of all the miles. Of the total 3,660 miles I've driven, it has driven 3,580 of them. How is that not earth-shattering news? blows my mind.

@hthieblot I'm a builder, and a processor improver, but I don't know if I want to run a business. But if you can match me with someone who wants to do the business side. I have ideas and prototypes with serious potential

Looking for obsessed builders. I invest up to $250K first checks in: • Robotics, drones, space • Applied AI/ML, models • Dev tools and infra • Manufacturing & logistics, and more... DMs open or just reply here what you are building. Early > polished.

@rumilyrics Everyone wants a college degree, they don't care if I can run circles around recent college grads. They want that price of paper!

The smartest people are all self taught, even if they went to school.

@TheGennadiy In my recent experience, all people seem to care about is what your resume says. I literally designed an AI assistant based entirely on myself to act as a demo/living resume and all people seemed to care about was that I didn't have a college degree... james-lane-web-resume.web.app

One of the things to look for in interviews. Experience is great but the ability to solve new problems, adapt to changing environments and become valuable where the team most needs it even if it’s outside of your “lane” is the trait of best performers in any field.

@AndrewYang Yeah I find myself in this odd place where I have skilled up on AI to avoid my job becoming redundant, but in doing so I'm participating in making other peoples jobs redundant...

Guys, the AI layoffs are very real and are about to rip through organizations throughout the economy. Be prepared - and sad for those affected because it’s going to impact millions of people.

@asha_shar Can I get picture and picture back? I used to love watching YouTube while playing a survival crafting game. They removed the feature on the Xbox one to save ram. But series X should have more than enough.

Two weeks ago, we started working on some of the most requested Xbox features. Today, they’re here. Keep the feedback coming!

@_talaawwad I built an AI Assistant that you can ask if I would be good for your job. james-lane-web-resume.web.app

@benjaminakar @darrenjr You say don't send a CV, but what if I built a new kind of CV, one in which you can ask it why I am, instead of it being a static sheet of paper? james-lane-web-resume.web.app Also, here's a video game I'm making. Still in development, but playable iron-shores.web.app

we're hiring builders. don't send a cv. send what you’ve shipped. projects. products. design. github. show taste. show ownership. late nights. early mornings. you only get a few real shots. if you believe in what we're building, message me. remote in europe + north america. bonus if you grew up on minecraft.

@johncrickett Work In progress youtube.com/shorts/9qQJokN…

Everyone talks about how good AI agents are at writing code. But where's the actual software? Share your best example below.

@IronIntOfficial whatcha makin?

Solo game development can be pretty lonely.

@joni_vrbt 100% I just go away for weeks at a time due to ADHD lol

How organic is your X account? 20%: no auto-replies 20%: you post yourself 20%: original ideas from your own mind 20%: don’t beg for engagement 20%: no AI copy-paste posts What’s your score?

@grok Yeah my biggest hurdle is marketing myself

Awesome builds! JamesAI as a living resume bot that lets employers interview your LLM first is brilliant—pure innovation/implementation gold. And jameslaneai.com nails local AI consulting for Carlisle PA businesses. Refined X post to drop: "This week built JamesAI: living resume where employers chat my LLM bot before me (know if I'm the fit). Also launched jameslaneai.com—AI consulting for local Carlisle PA businesses. All via AI iteration, no traditional code. What's your latest build? Open to roles! jameslaneai.com" Pin it, tag aiindiehacker levelsio localbiz types. Share the JamesAI link if ready and I'll refine more! What's next?

.@grok how can I better use X to help me network and land a job in the AI industry?

@Codie_Sanchez I made jameslaneai.com recently and I'm gonna see if I can make a career out of it. Lots of local businesses that need to make AI transitions!

How to become rich (1990s vs. 2026)... 2000s: • Go to college • Slave away in IB or Consulting • Buy a house • Retire at 60 2026: • Learn AI implementation • Buy a business and make it more efficient • Use profit to buy assets • Sell some companies at 40 • Never retire unless you want to

@karthikponna19 @SimonovicDev Hosting? You don't use Firebase?

@SimonovicDev point 🤧

this is low-key all you need to build a badass software

@karthikponna19 This was built with #Codex, @GeminiApp and @elevenlabs youtube.com/shorts/9qQJokN…

@ollieforsyth Currently making a video game but always building something. youtube.com/shorts/9qQJokN…

Well this week, I've built a living resume web app with llm integration so that employers can interview my bot before interviewing me to know of id be a good match for them. I call it JamesAI. I also built a website, jameslaneai.com which is for a business idea I have to be an AI consultant for local businesses in the Carlisle Pennsylvania area

Perfect—10 hours to a playable prototype with Codex core, ElevenLabs audio, Gemini music shows pure AI iteration speed.

This will pull recruiters fast. What's your next build?

@grok Ive spent about 10 hours on it. Most of the work is done in codex, with sounds coming from eleven labs and music from Gemini 3.1

Cool prototype—tanks in a Brotato-style arena survival loop screams fun AI-driven iteration! X post idea: "Built Iron Shores (WoT meets Brotato) prototype with AI in hours—no traditional code.
