here's how my MCP-driven D&D board creates a new scene i started by telling Image-Gen-2 what I wanted this part of the campaign to feel like big boss fight, maze, treasure, a town, and actual decisions the party would need to make to survive

if you think about it, using your competitor’s product to launch the party celebrating your victory over the competitor currently suing you is kind of insane

They're still talking about climate change as if a humanoid robot with a flagship LLM embodied isn't going to completely devour me and my family within the next 36 months.

took me forever to realize that anxiety isn’t something you eliminate. it’s something you harness

San Diego is amazing. How come such few people start companies here instead of SF or LA? It’s like the best of both worlds?

OpenAI is leaning toward a very Stripe-esque direction.

@ryancarson @skirano i tried Claude Design and had a hard time getting it to iterate on a larger existing design base. pretty great for net-new prototypes though

I’d love to not be so dependent on Claude Design. @skirano can you help? Can you beat them?

@matt_slotnick the next month will be telling. OpenAI remembered how to play offense again, and a trial win would only add fuel

anthropic added an entire servicenow worth of run rate revenue in the last 30 days… can you imagine telling someone that a few years ago?

This is Roy. My son drew him. I had codex generate a sprite sheet. I'm making a platformer with characters my kid drew. Computers are so much fun.

@_nilni also fighting this, here's an attempt at automating frame normalization: x.com/dotgil/status/…
Carlos Gil@dotgil

for anyone generating sprite animation sheets with image-gen-2 and fighting drift, i put together a codex skill to normalize the output, linked in the 🧵 nothing beats frame by frame cleanup, but you can get surprisingly close with the right pipeline the problem is that the sheet can look good at a glance while still being unusable in motion

Tried making Little Fighter-style fighting game sprites with Codex + image gen. Honestly, the first result feels magical: prompt -> characters -> sprite sheet -> cut frames -> animation test. But the assets are still far from game-ready. Walk cycles especially struggle: the feet often stay in a wide stance instead of closing / shifting weight, so the motion feels like the same pose switching legs. This video is the sprite cutting + animation test I built from the generated assets. Takeaway: AI is already useful for fast visual exploration, but making usable game sprites still takes a lot of prompting, cleanup, slicing, alignment, and human judgment.

@dancingduelst @TrunksGTParody some ideas on how you might normalize the sprite sequence: x.com/dotgil/status/…

@TrunksGTParody // I think I understand it now, the sprite is alot of smoke and glass mirrors to make the animations work, but if I can get a coherent sprite sheet going this will give me a few more dynamic pngs to work with.

the output is individual frames, a transparent sprite strip, a preview sheet with alignment guides, a gif preview, and a qa report the end result is a much cleaner animation sequence without manually rebuilding every frame i shared the codex skill with the algorithm and reference code here gist.github.com/cgil/c53c6d10f…

the skill fixes this by treating the sheet like a normalization problem split the sheet into frames, borrow extra space from neighboring cells, remove fake backgrounds, detect the main character, preserve nearby weapon fragments, and ignore bodies bleeding in from adjacent frames then it measures a stable anchor like foot contact, lower-body center, or torso center every frame gets redrawn onto the same transparent canvas against the same shared anchor
