@Eridiium I feel this was never the intended use case.

@TheDimin Yeah it’s a bit weird tbh but I guess they were like “screw it” 😭

People have been asking for this and I finally figured out you can do this on s&box! I've created a recommended games page where you can view and see all the games I think are worth playing! Check it out here! : sbox.game/eridium/recomm…

@mossy98_ @Eridiium 100% agree here. They should use other tools for a better discovery algorithm ( click through rate would be a good start..) We should discourage bad thumbnails 💯. But let's not get stuck on AI = bad thumbnail, instead let's see what makes players interested

@Eridiium I'm more scared of this doing the opposite. There is going to be false flags and games labeled as AI and people not giving them a chance and there wasn't even AI to begin with. This is more dangerous then helpful.

Bumping this video again but Garry is now finally taking action against AI slop on the platform and more! Watch here: youtu.be/g0CECOX0Q4g

@ZPostFacto Ai auto complete is great for log message generation, that's about the only use case I have for it 😔

AI coding auto complete is a net negative. Too distracting. Occasionally it makes amazing guesses at to where you are going. But the benefit from those times is not worth the distraction. I'm constantly battling it. I probably just need to make it only suggest on a hotkey.

@Eridiium @_trundler July please! Need time before I can show off my next project 😎

I think it's time again... Let's do our own summer games fest/ E3 but with gameplay trailers and more of new upcoming s&box games coming to the platform. When should it be in June? Let me know.

@PrismarchGame @0xThoughtVector @wordgrammer I was not talking to you. I challenge you to build a compiler without seeking the internet for help otherwise just 🤫

@TheDimin @0xThoughtVector @wordgrammer Trying to convince me by linking stuff from AI companies is simply braindead. Yes of course they are going to fluff their models, their business depends on it. Every model scores 0% at recreating real executables with no internet. arxiv.org/html/2605.0354…

There’s an entire class of people who could be using Claude + Blender to make a new Breath of the Wild overworld each week but they refuse because Midjourney didn’t compensate artists back in 2022

@sama Open weight model :)

what would you most like to see improve in our next model?

@0xThoughtVector @PrismarchGame @wordgrammer This was not possible a year ago anthropic.com/engineering/bu… Still have ways to go for programming, but any other task will follow it

@PrismarchGame @TheDimin @wordgrammer you can't design an OS but you can layout groundwork for an app which could handle ~100k users well. I would never do it in an afternoon but you can guide these models to work better than almost all human engineers.

@PrismarchGame @wordgrammer I have been writing code for 10 years at this point. I think your being the ignorant one here

@TheDimin @wordgrammer A good start is not claiming you can vibe code complex systems in an afternoon when you've never written a line of code in your life before AI. It's okay to be ignorant. What's not okay is speaking with authority on subjects you know nothing about like AI bros do constantly.

Honestly even though I know this horror game is gonna take me a while to make on s&box. I really like how creative you can get with just cinematics. Also sound design is my passion lol.

@PrismarchGame @wordgrammer We have to start somewhere, and then work together as an industry to improve the tools.

@wordgrammer AI bros are just tech space LARPers at this point, constantly overstating the capabilities of models while completely ignorant of what it takes to actually make things

@wuerbo @Kappische @notch Have you tried to breakdown the interactions and find a way to improve the system interaction? Ofc all work done with a LLM I think that's the real value of engineering now.

@TheDimin @Kappische @notch For me the problem is that Llms introduce complexity very cheaply and then interacting systems become burdensome to iterate/rewrite. I'm struggling with iterating in a combat system where several aspects interact with each other in unforseen ways

One thing game devs should learn is ABS: Always Be Shipping. I learned that working with @notch As Mojang grew and new coders joined the team, there were complaints about old code/shortcuts/“bad” technical decisions. My response was usually: without those decisions, none of us would be here. There probably wouldn’t even be a Minecraft if everything had been done the “correct” way from the start. Games are explorative. You build, test, cut, rewrite, hack things together, and keep moving. A shipped imperfect system beats a perfect system that never makes it into players’ hands. I’ve never worked on a game where you didn’t have to go back and touch old code/systems later anyway.

@JFPuget Functions should be deterministic. Write unit tests for them. The latest generation of models can create implementation purely based on these contracts

A compiler is deterministic. An agent isn't. Show me how to test a non deterministic system as well as a deterministic one and I'll stop reviewing agent outputs.

@Tapu_Pixels @OdesRadcliffe @andrewpprice Crazy, you care so much you feel the need to make that point. Maybe go start an other riot against blender funding to prevent these unethical companies from donating

@TheDimin @OdesRadcliffe @andrewpprice Andrew's original post covers the fact that 30% of Blender's budget comes from companies like Meta, Google etc. He's making the point that if Blender cut ties with them, they'd lose a lot of funding... I brought up the point that Andrew never questions the ethics of datasets.

Approximately 30% of Blender's Dev Fund budget come from companies actively developing AI LLMs, tools and technologies. If they cancelled, Blender would lose €852,000 per year in funding, and likely need to fire 1-in-3 developers.

@Tapu_Pixels @OdesRadcliffe @andrewpprice So you missed the entire point of the entire post ?

@OdesRadcliffe @andrewpprice At what point did I say I was cool with Google and Meta's lack of ethics. So because they are bigger culprits I should ignore everything else?

@s8boxverse @s8box Technically two. Steam workshop is also supported.

Incase you didn't know, @s8box does have a Workshop! sbox.game/ugc Browse between Models, Maps, Shaders, anything u'd like!
