me if pussy and video games didn’t exist

@markgadala You’re using the word “full” very liberally here. Impressive, yes. But incredibly overstated.

GPT 5.4 isn’t even 24 hours old yet. And the early use cases are already ridiculous. 10 examples that show why this changes everything: 1) It fully coded an original Pokémon game by itself.

@kenwheeler @shuv1337 @AdamRackis And you’ve explained it a whole lot better than anthropic has. Ty.

@shuv1337 @AdamRackis im not siding with anyone, im explaining what i understand to be the situation

I want to see if I (mostly) understand - Anthropic's models are really good - Claude Code is good, but the UX is dog shit - Anthropic's normal API is expensive - People tried hijacking the discounted Claude Code tokens for use in good tools, like OpenCode - Anthropic got mad ?

@jab50yen Top 3 for me

Play The Beginner's Guide one of my favorite games of all time

@JagexAllstar Tbf the last thing I ever wanted to do after testing content was playing that same content when it was live 😂

I’m a RuneScape player who has still not competed the only quest he ever helped QA. Looking at you ROTM!

would you guys fuckin relax. if everyone loses their jobs nobody can pay for shit, which means nobody makes money, which means nobody spends money, which means guys get pulled out of frontier labs like it’s the french revolution

@jaredepicpower Dam

I'm at the Dice summit. Here is an interesting view of the Hoover Dam.

Me after drinking half a beer at the company function:

@sama Dang that’s a lot of text.

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

@chongdashu Curious if the ThreeJS skill is building your 3D assets as well, or if you’re leveraging any premade assets as part of this? Do you have a seperate workflow for that? Well done!

In the past week, I was able to build the following games: - An endless runner - A tower defense - A Mario Party-like mini-game - An arena-based shooter The key unlock here was the ThreeJS skill With Opus 4.5 & GPT 5.2 - Claude Code / Codex CLI have much better end results now. With each game, I continued to update the skill based on bugs and issues faced - so it progressively got better and better at building the gameplay I was looking for. I've been doing this for a while now - and I can say that the leap in building games with vibe coding is real.

@fkurfeefeesbruh @WisestWizards A very chill response from a very not upset man.

@WisestWizards The only people who are upset are fragile yanks. A simple correction made the yanks so upset. Fucking weenies.. like, come the fuck on.

An entire nation upset by a single photograph on Christmas Day. The power of Rocco The Food Man.

@chriswatterston @arvidkahl This is not accurate.

@arvidkahl Na, I looked into this. Windows you can apparently get one, but Mac you can’t. Something to do with the OS doesn’t allow usage of external GPU, etc.

Is there already such a thing as an "external hardware LLM" like we have external hard drives? Instead of having to run/maintain a local model, I want an inference machine that I can just plug in and point my prompts at. Single GPU, maybe a few in parallel. Who's building this?

@RealMatK @ImTedious We did this back in the day when I was working on EverQuest. To some success. It had its issues but they were 2009 issues. The technical challenges that we encountered would be easier to solve in 2025, and I think it would be more accepted by a modern gaming audience now too.

@ImTedious Can't get much hotter than this: I think they should make RWT legal and supply a mechanism to buy gold from other players.

What is your Oldschool Runescape hot take?

@dr_ryan sorry for your loss

The good news: I found something I’m more obsessed with right now than getting trophies on PlayStation. The bad news (for my wallet): it’s Magic the Gathering

@Johnny13 Absolutely insane that this is per-device. Been wondering why shits been so inconsistent

Also apparently YouTube has been turning on a feature called “restrictive mode” make sure you turn that off Settings>General>Turn off restrictive mode

YouTube is been very strange recently, some people are saying this episode isn’t appearing in their subscriptions feed. Make sure to like and comment on this episode and hopefully that helps

@bryan_johnson 🤔🤔

My son’s monthly responsibilities: 1. Clean room 2. Good grades 3. Nice to people 4. Healthy diet 5. 1L of plasma Just kidding about the clean room

@codybarbo @trustandwill @wealth_mgmt Ayyy congrats! 🎉

Proud to share that @trustandwill took home a @wealth_mgmt award last night for the estate planning “trusts” category. It was fun sharing the stage with my colleague Mark LoCastro, and it truly felt like a reunion seeing so many amazing friends in the industry. Congrats again to all the finalists and winners!

@EricBaudour Well at least it wasn’t a Sam’s Club Cola household.

Shunned as I reveal I grew up in a Pepsi household

@Roshen Forbidden socal knowledge: get burgers from del taco, and get tacos from jack in the box. 🤣

I had the weirdest realization today, that only a very small group of people from Southern California and other nearby places will understand but… The cheeseburgers at Del Taco and Dave & Buster’s are like, exactly the same 🍔

@kenwheeler Russian mob aesthetic
