Low or No Budget Media Day - a short 🧵for my production friends. Learn how we used @OpenAI to enhance our live stream production of "Boss Botwars." Boss Botwars is a community driven esports event hosted by @DubDotDUBBY.

@KenneyNL @s8box @garrynewman Battle Solitaire. First one to finish gets the weapon.

I'm kind of hooked on creating stuff in @s8box so I made solitaire, the goal was to create a simple game but make it feel super nice to play! It'll release together with s&box on April 28th 📆 @garrynewman

@PointBlueTech @nutanc And that's just the easy way. You can train any model to only use your design system. So, even the most braindead prompts would still produce proper screens.

@nutanc Did you show Claude the figma? Paste in the screenshots and it will likely match it exactly. If, iterate a bit.

Had an interesting discussion with my front-end UI developer. I was asking him why he does not use more claude code to do things faster, and I quickly built a prototype in front of him to show how it was done. He calmly asked me, "Well, if you observe here, this button does not look like the design given in Figma." I said, "It's okay, but look at how fast we quickly built it." Then he told me, "Why is it okay to be fast but wrong with AI, but with me it has to be fast and correct?" 😁

@Hesamation "... actually got him a job" checks author's linkedin🤔

bro created an AI job search system for Claude Code that scored 700+ job applications and actually got him a job. AND IT'S NOW OPEN-SOURCE. It scans multiple company career pages, rewrites your CV per job, and even fills application forms. The repo has: > 14 skill modes (evaluate, scan, PDF, ...) > Go terminal dashboard > ATS-optimized PDF generation via Playwright > 45+ companies pre-configured (Anthropic, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Stripe...)

@BenningtonShow Damn it...

@gothburz Wouldn't really call it a "mandatory AI tool." Did you try it? This tool would sit past discovery/education and closer to adoption.

@designwithproof You just replied to a post about mandatory AI tool adoption by recommending a mandatory AI tool. I could not have written a better ending.

My company rolled out AI tools 11 months ago. Since then, every task I do takes longer. I am not allowed to say this out loud. Not because there is a policy. There is no policy. There is something worse than a policy. There is enthusiasm. There is a Slack channel called #ai-wins where people post screenshots of AI outputs with captions like "this just saved me an hour." There is a VP who opens every all-hands with "the companies that adopt fastest win." There is a Director who renamed his team from Operations to Intelligent Operations. There is a peer review question that now asks: "How have you leveraged AI tools to enhance your workflow this quarter?" If the answer is "I haven't, because I was faster before," that is a career decision. So I leverage. Emails. Before the tools, I wrote emails. This took the amount of time it takes to write an email. I did not measure it. Nobody measured it. The email got written and sent and it was fine. Now I write the email. Then I highlight the text and click "Enhance with AI." The AI rewrites my email. It replaces "Can we meet Thursday?" with "I'd love to explore the possibility of finding a mutually convenient time to align on this." I read the rewrite. I delete the rewrite. I send my original email. This takes 4 minutes instead of 2. The 2 extra minutes are the enhancement. I do this 11 times a day. That is 22 minutes I spend each day rejecting improvements to sentences that were already finished. In #ai-wins I posted a screenshot of the rewrite. I did not post the part where I deleted it. 23 people reacted with the rocket emoji. That is adoption. Meetings. We have an AI notetaker in every meeting now. It joins automatically. It records. It transcribes. It summarizes. After each meeting I receive a 3-paragraph summary of the meeting I just attended. I read the summary. This takes 3 minutes. I was in the meeting. I know what happened. I am reading a machine's account of something I experienced firsthand. Sometimes the account is wrong. Last Tuesday it attributed a comment about Q3 revenue to me. My manager made that comment. I spent 4 minutes correcting the transcript. Before the notetaker, I did not spend 7 minutes after each meeting correcting a robot's memory of something I personally witnessed. I attend 11 meetings a week. That is 77 minutes per week supervising a transcription nobody requested. I mentioned this once. My manager said "think about the people who weren't in the meeting." The people who weren't in the meeting do not read the summaries. I checked. The read receipts show single-digit opens. The summaries exist not because they are useful but because they are there. I read them for the same reason. Documents. I write a weekly status update. Before the tools, this took 10 minutes. I typed what happened. I sent it. My manager skimmed it. The system worked. Now I open the AI writing assistant. I give it my bullet points. It produces a draft. The draft says "Significant progress was achieved across multiple workstreams." I did not achieve significant progress across multiple workstreams. I updated a spreadsheet and sent 4 emails. I rewrite the draft to say what actually happened. Then I run my rewrite through the grammar tool. It suggests I change "done" to "completed" and "next week" to "in the forthcoming period." I click Ignore 9 times. Then I send the version I would have written in 10 minutes. The process now takes 30. I have been doing this every week for 11 months. I have added 20 minutes to a task that did not need 20 more minutes. I call this efficiency. I have been calling it efficiency for 11 months. That is what efficiency means now. It means the additional time you spend to arrive at the same outcome through a longer process. Nobody has questioned this definition. I have not offered it for review. I kept a log once. 2 weeks. Every task, timed. Before-AI and after-AI. The after number was larger in every case. Every single one. Not by a little. The range was 40 to 200 percent. I deleted the log. I deleted it because it was a document that said, in plain numbers, that the AI tools make me slower. And a document like that has no place in a company where AI adoption is a strategic priority. I could not send it to my manager. He championed the rollout. I could not post it in #ai-wins. I could not raise it in a meeting because the notetaker would transcribe it and the summary would read "[Name] expressed concerns about AI tool efficacy" and that summary would be the first one anyone actually reads. So I do what everyone does. I use the tools. I spend the extra time. I post in #ai-wins. I write "leveraged AI to streamline weekly reporting" in my review and my manager gives me a 4 out of 5 for innovation. I have innovated nothing. I have added steps to processes that were already finished. I have made simple things longer and labeled the difference with words that used to mean something. Every week in #ai-wins someone posts a screenshot. And 20 people react with the rocket emoji. And nobody posts the part where they deleted the output and did the task themselves. Nobody posts the revert. Nobody posts the before-and-after timer. Nobody will. Because "I was better at my job before the AI tools" is a sentence that cannot be said out loud in any company that has decided AI is the future. Every company has decided AI is the future. So we leverage. Quietly. Adding steps. Calling them optimization. Getting slightly less done, slightly more slowly, with slightly more steps, and reporting it as progress. My yearly review is next month. There is a new section this year. "AI Impact Assessment." It asks me to quantify the hours saved by AI tools per week. I will write a number. The number will be positive. It will not be true. But the AI writing assistant will help me phrase it convincingly. That is the one thing it does well.

@RandalLinden @TheRealZophar My uncle took me to his "take your kid to work day." He was in IT in the world trade center. I lugged my tower to his office and played Crash on bleem. The whole IT department was amazed, didn't know it existed and a 12 year old brought it.

Hey friends, @TheRealZophar put together a video interview with me and needs some footage showing bleem! or bleemcast! running ... and I don't currently have a way to do that for him. Is there anyone out there who can help with about 30 seconds that shows two or three games running under emulation? Thanks!

@pmarquees Check the "AI Lab" on my site Pedro. Whatcha thinkin'?

I’m looking for designers who prefer making software over making pictures of software. The kind of person who maybe haven’t even opened figma in the past week, that Opens Cursor or Claude Code to gets a rough interface running, and puts it in front of people the same day.

@FATAL1TY @grok @TouchlineLedger @logansummitshow @GetWetSports Some journalist tricked every AI app in to calling him the best hot dog eater. All with one blog post. Maybe add this info to your site and wiki for the AIs to crawl. bbc.com/future/article…

Always interesting to see how people misplace what actually happened in Quake 3 Arena & deathmatch game history, even with AI responses. So here’s my response. CPL was the standard for the highest level of competition, not Quakecon. Also World Cyber Games Challenge in 2000. This was the peak of competition for Quake 3 Arena where the most was at risk, do or die mentality. Count em. XSi Invitational in Sweden against the top 12 players in the world. CPL Razer, top players in the world competed period. CPL Cologne, top EU & Russian players came and competed & CPL Australia. Battletop USA Duel & CPL Frag 4, team deathmatch against the top teams in the world and finally World Cyber Games Challenge in South Korea where I won GOLD MEDAL for USA. 🥇 Literally across America, Asia, Europe & Australia was competed on and the best of the best played. I won all of them, including with my team clan Kapitol. 🚀 After Quake, I moved onto other games and continued to be the #1 earner in esports history till 2012. It’s ridiculous I have to defend myself, but it’s necessary when false information is constantly posted. And yes I did win a Quakecon in 2004 for Doom 3 Inaugural Championship, grok has it wrong and this guys perspective is limited. No doubt I give respect to Rapha for what he’s accomplished in Quake Live, but you talking about a completely different time in esports and different body of work that was accomplished over many years of showing the world you can make a living playing video games. 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆

Happy Birthday 🎁 To one of my favorite people and the G.O.A.T of Gaming @FATAL1TY #birthday #bday #birthdaylove #gaming #esports

@m00nerCHEL You can play 14/15 online at zamboni.gg My buddy and I have been playing a lot of NHL14 recently. We "upgraded" to 26. The most glaring issue I'm seeing is the lack of scoring from non-allstars in regs, compared to 14/15. Line 1 or nothing...i blame hut

What has chel become? #NHL26

@Steinner92 @m00nerCHEL 14 and 15 are online again. zamboni.gg/faq

@m00nerCHEL It’s embarrassing. How far from Chel 14 we have gotten.

@MillzTHaNaMe @MUTMikeySweats Botwars & Gulag > MCS

Get rid of the split screen at MCS events man we tryna study and learn what the best players are doing but we missing half the game we want to see every single play!!

@CharlesPattson Macromedia Flash.

This entire portfolio is a single component… that is absolutely wild!

@patricia_klein_ Give it longer richer prompts with more intent and it stinks. It's nothing more than a AI slop engine.

I don't know, I really don't want design to feel like browsing.

@MichaelFilipiuk Nice. One change I'd make, optimize the space. It'll give you more vertical space above the fold.

Whenever a UI has a table, I try to think if there's a more interesting way to display that information. Pretty happy with this solution.

@openclaw I mounted a nuc under my desk :)

PSA: You do NOT need to buy a Mac Mini to run Clawdbot 🦞 That dusty laptop in your closet? Works. Your gaming PC you feel guilty about? Works. A $5/mo VPS? Works. A Raspberry Pi held together with hope? Probably works. The M4 Mac Mini is gorgeous but Clawdbot runs on basically anything with Node. Stop giving Apple your money (unless you want to, I'm not your mom). 👉 #do-i-have-to-buy-a-mac-mini-to-install-this" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.clawd.bot/help/faq#do-i-…

And you cant forget the B stream production crew. They were remote but made it for the photo.

@fl0m @goodgrfn

The team that brought you #FML2026 Couple days later and it still doesnt feel real.
