It's been too long in the making, life gets in the way like that. Alas, we have released our first of hopefully many #UnrealEngine plugins, MegaBoids! MegaBoids is an ambient AI group movement plugin. Distributed through @EpicGames @fab fab.com/listings/b6add…

@UnityCodeMonkey Am I supposed to know all the APIs in the world? Nothing even guarantees this is Unity or even C#, this is dumb!

@EnoughOfAllThat I totally agree with him. The amount of effort put into work of any kind is highly proportional to my appreciation of it. I can relate to the devotion to the craft and that matters a lot.

I present to you, after years of research, concentrated pretentious bullshit in its purest form.
Ryan Fleury@rfleury

When I enjoy a piece of art, or a film, or a book, or a song, or a game, it’s extremely important to me that it is a carefully crafted, coherent design, made by a human with whom I can emotionally relate, and with whom I share the common elements of the human condition. If any of these things are purely AI generated—yes, even if superficially you cannot immediately tell—it immediately sours the experience, because I feel manipulated, not communicated with. There is no relatable higher purpose behind a scene in a painting, there is no truth in any lyrics in a song, there is no carefully designed experience intended for me by playing a game—it becomes equivalent to a slot machine, and I become the drunk zombie boomer in Vegas repeatedly pulling the lever. I don’t think this is an uncommon feeling at all, and because the economy is the cumulative effects downstream of human desire, I think there is far less demand for such things than—for instance—psychopaths in Silicon Valley would like investors to believe.

@Love2Code Pretty coarse environment avoidance for boids. Will see how it behaves on CPU at scale.

@MegaPunkGames Yes this is GPU-based but computing them on CPU can make sense depending on the use case. For instance I'm going to do collision detection using SDFs on CPU, because it will be lightweight and not worth the complexity/boilerplate of a shader. What's your use case?

@puhomir @SebAaltonen AI makes a lot of crap code all the time, but it can still speed you up. The more experience and knowledge you have, the more you can gain - because you will catch all its mess and redirect/steer it.

@SebAaltonen I see all your posts about bad and annoying AIs going rogue and outputting crap. Why do you still bother? It seems working with AIs is all that I dislike and avoid about work, whereas doing the coding and problem solving is what I like and it is taken away from me. Why would I?

Me: Why did you remove water features such as waves? What was the reasoning? Codex: There was no good rendering reason. It was a bad port.

@kiaran_ritchie @davepl1968 To their defense, I was stable, and part of the time was getting airlifted from Gaspe to Quebec city as there is no neurosurgeon in Gaspe. Yet there again, I was not a priority to get an air ambulance. It's a bit akward.

Allow me to rock your world. America has about 6000 hospitals. 5121 of those are publicly accessible and 1224 are completely free. That's twice as many charity hospitals as Canada has Tim Horton's. Literally. Then, when you see a doctor, the doctor speaks English and went to school somewhere you've heard of. Harvard is not the only way to get educated, but it is nice in the fall. We don't push people into medically assisted suicide for cost reasons. We don't ask people with emergency conditions to sit in the ER for 10 hours before they see a doctor. So yes, if you have a cutting-edge disease and you go to a private hospital and get the best care in the world, you're on the hook for it. But note that you are also ALIVE.
Mark Slapinski@mark_slapinski

People say Canadian healthcare is not free, because we pay taxes for it. But in America, people pay taxes and still have to pay for healthcare out of their pockets. And if they are broke, the hospital tells them to go die.

a) not a skill issue b) its exactly the right instinct to ask "wtf are we doing!" out-loud c) I wish my generation made you forcibly stop using ai for 80% of the work. Its slower, but we need to teach you the fundamentals via a master/apprenticeship ecosystem. We are robbing your future.

I'm 22 years old and Claude Code is deteriorating my brain. Every single day for the last 6 months I've had 6 to 8 Claude Code terminals open, waiting for a response just so I can hit 'enter' 75% of the time. And it's doing something to me. In convos with a couple of friends, it's been a point that's been brought up pretty frequently. None of us feel as sharp as we used to. I don't know if it's just us, or others in their 20s are feeling the same thing, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot. P.S. I know this is a problem with my reliability/usage of it, not Claude Code itself, but the effects are real nonetheless
