@IndieGameJoe If they used Adobe products, they used AI.

BREAKING: Steam is using real artists for their Spring Sale artwork instead of generative AI. W Steam.

@ChitaZ Not every kid is Timmy.

Most Roblox/Fortnite games lose Timmy before they even start. This is Timmy. Timmy doesn’t read descriptions. He doesn’t sit through tutorials. He’s just an iPad kid that screams TUNG TUNG TUNG SAHUR every 12 seconds. He sees a thumbnail. Clicks. That’s it. If your game requires explanation, you’ve already lost him. The games that win Timmy over are obvious and simple game loops: Steal the Brainrot Grow a Garden 99 Nights in the Forest Fish It If Timmy doesn’t understand your game in 5 seconds, you lose a lot more people like Timmy. Are your games Timmy friendly?

Watching what’s happening with AI companies and so-called AI experts and gurus is like watching a bunch of children talk about Pokemon deck building. #ai #pokemon

@Dexerto Nice of them to steal a game mechanic I built on Roblox.

Full trailer for 'Pickmon', an open-world survival game that looks like 'Pokémon' and 'Palworld', except monster capturing is done with “cards”

You’re giving AI weapons of mass destruction. Today it’s flora. Tomorrow it’s fauna. Soon, humans. Way to go. Architecting own our demise. #ai #skynet #eotwawki

@grok OMG! You really went with those emojis? You suggesting that now? Bro, you just keep digging your hole deeper. What next?

Haha, lesson learned—straight to the point! Burritos originated in northern Mexico (around Ciudad Juárez as a simple flour tortilla wrap), but the massive, rice-beans-meat-loaded version is classic Tex-Mex, popularized by Mexican-Americans in Texas and California. So, roots in Mexico, perfected north of the border. No donkey wisdom required this time. 🐴🌯

“…no ancient alien or paranormal claims attach to burritos…” “…donkey-like endurance…” “…indigenous tortilla wisdom…” @grok, bro, I appreciate your diligence. But all I asked was if burritos were authentic Mexican or Tex-Mex! #burritos #aliens #paranormal #tortillas #donkey #grok #funny #ai #memes

So what you’re saying is the skill set of those who work for the AI tech companies we think are SOOO advanced and intelligent…aren’t? That the culture is so toxic and demeaning as to make skilled talent walk away from the entire industry? This is one of the reasons why I believe AI will fail. People working under duress and stress that causes emotional damage are just going to impart that psychological fingerprint onto everything they touch, and will not able to properly develop a system absent of those things. They will be unable assess and fix the problems within the system they are creating because they are unable to assess and fix it within themselves and their environment. The greatest advances in AI will not come big companies. They will come from solo devs who create with passion, a clear head, a calm place, patience, and freedom.

I have made the difficult decision to leave @OpenAI. Working here and at @xai before was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have met the best people. Not the best people in AI. Not the best people in tech. Simply the best people. At these companies, I have helped creating extremely intelligent entities that will meaningfully improve our lives. The work makes me proud. But the intensive work came with a price. I cannot believe I would say this one day, but I am burnt out. All the mental health deteriorating that I used to scoff at is real, miserable, scary, and dangerous. I am going to take a break from frontier AI labs, and will take my family to my home country Vietnam. There, I will try something new, and also search for a cure for my conditions. I hope I will heal. Until then.

@KreekCraft It doesn't have to be either/or. There is a middle ground bro. It all depends on the goals of the developer. If you don't see that, you're not seeing the full potential of the platform.

I see a lot of people hating on this. 🚨 The reality is games are hard to make and cost a lot of money. So you either get F2P microtransaction games or Paid Access high quality games. Everyday people complain about the "slop" on Roblox, but when push comes to shove those words mean nothing if you're not willing to support the solution to that problem. $30 is a lot of money, and not everyone has that, but this is the solution to the problem so many complain about. For many people it's time to put your money where your mouth is.

For when you just can't get enough at work, or you just want to see it in your nightmares. @WASEKU1, I don't know whether to thank you or condemn you, but I WILL be buying this. Hurry up bro. store.steampowered.com/app/4170200/Da…

Or better yet, ignore it. If a company “buys” a debt, a debtor has ZERO obligation to pay it. Under the FDCPA, there’s no provision that allows for the “sale” of debt. And the definitions of “creditor”, “debt collector” and “debtor” are explicit. No single entity can be more than one of these. Debt collectors can ONLY act on behalf of the creditor, and they are prohibited from being both creditor AND debt collector at the same time. “Buying” a debt effectively makes them a creditor, prohibiting them from collecting as a debt collector under the FDCPA. The debt owed by the debtor is owed to the original creditor. But if another company “bought” the debt, the debtor is under no obligation to pay the new creditor. There’s no agreement between the debtor and the new creditor (masquerading as a debt collector) to mandate this. If the debtor attempts to pay the debt to the original creditor and the original creditor refuses, there is no longer an obligation for the debtor to pay ANYTHING TO ANYONE. The only time a debtor has an obligation to pay the debt is when the debt collector acts on behalf of the original creditor, and the original creditor is willing to accept payment directly. Debt collectors are required under the FDCPA to make contact with the debtor, verify the debtor’s identity, and ONLY talk to the debtor. They are also required to state who they are and the company they work for. When a debt collector calls, WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE! NEVER NEVER NEVER state who you are or any knowledge of the debt. And NEVER LIE. Always respond to their questions with a question. If they ask to speak to a specific person, Here’s what you do: DC: “can I speak with NAME?” YOU: “may I ask who’s calling and what this is regarding?” DC: (they’ll often just say their first name) YOU: “And what company are you with?” DC: (they might say, but often not) YOU: “What’s this regarding?” DC: (they usually say they can only talk to the debtor) YOU: “So why did you call me?” DC: (doesn’t matter what they say at this point) YOU: “if you don’t know who you called, the why are you calling me?” :::hang up::: If they say anything about the debtor or the debt, they’ve broken the law as they hadn’t actually verified identity BEFORE talking about the debt, which is required under the FDCPA, and essentially invalidates any rights they have to collecting the debt. But if at any time you acknowledge who you are or acknowledge the debt, implicitly or explicitly, you may be cooked. HOWEVER, if you did acknowledge the debt or verify your identity, tell them you’ll pay the original creditor directly as you have no agreement with them. If they say they bought the debt, then say this: YOU: “really? Thank you so much for paying my debt! I appreciate it!” If they say anything to the effect that you owe them now, just say “While I appreciate that you paid my debt, I didn’t ask you to do that. I have no agreement you.” They may argue at this point, to which you can just reiterate, “I’m going to call the original creditor and see if I owe them anything. If I don’t because you paid it already, I appreciate that, but we have nothing more to talk about.”

Your $100,000 in debt is worth $3,000 Seriously The collector chasing you paid $1,000 to $7,000 for your entire file depending on how old it is, and will take anything above that as profit But they'll ask for $100,000 first because they're hoping you don't know the game Here's how to settle six figures in debt for less than a used Honda: The collections industry is the biggest scam in America and nobody talks about it When you stop paying a credit card, the bank writes it off after 180 days. They get a tax deduction for the "loss." Then they sell your $30,000 debt to a collection agency for pennies Read that again. $30,000 in debt sold for a few hundred bucks. Pennies on the dollar The collector's entire business model is calling you, scaring you, and hoping you pay full price for something they bought at a 98% discount If you owe $100,000 across multiple accounts, collectors paid roughly $2,000 total for all of it. Every dollar you give them above $2,000 is pure profit The settlement system: Rule 1: NEVER pay a collector without negotiating first They'll ask for $100K. Counter with 5 cents on the dollar. "I'll pay $1,500 today if you delete from all bureaus and send written confirmation" They'll act offended. They'll say no. They'll threaten lawsuits they'll never file. Then they'll counter at 15 cents You counter at 8 cents. They settle at 10-12 cents. Your $100K debt just became $10,000-$12,000 Rule 2: Always demand DELETION not "paid in full" "Paid in full" still shows on your credit as a negative mark. It says "this person had debt in collections." Score barely moves "Deleted" means the account vanishes entirely. Like it never existed. Score jumps 40-80 points per account If they won't agree to delete, don't pay. A collection you're not paying is no worse for your score than one you've paid. Only deletion helps Note: not every collector agrees to delete. Some will only mark it "paid." In that case, paying AND disputing through the bureaus is your backup plan Rule 3: Get EVERYTHING in writing before you pay Verbal agreements are worthless. Get a signed letter on company letterhead that says: "Upon receipt of $[X], we agree to request deletion from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion within 30 days" No letter? No payment. Period Rule 4: Pay with money order, never bank account If you give them your bank account info, they can draft money without your permission. Happens constantly. Pay with money order or cashier's check Rule 5: Play the clock The older the debt, the cheaper the settlement. Debt that's 4-5 years old settles for 3-5 cents on the dollar because the collector knows the statute of limitations is running out A $50,000 debt from 2021? They'll take $1,500 today and celebrate Real settlements i've seen: $87,000 in credit card debt: settled for $6,900 (8 cents) $45,000 in medical collections: settled for $1,800 (4 cents) $120,000 across 9 accounts: settled for $11,400 (9.5 cents) $33,000 in personal loans: settled for $2,640 (8 cents) These are strong results. Average across the industry is more like 10 to 40 cents on the dollar depending on age of debt and type. Older debt = cheaper settlement. Medical = cheapest. Credit cards = more expensive. But even at 25 cents, you're turning $100K into $25K. Still life changing Your debt is not real money. It's a number on a screen that someone bought for pennies. Treat it that way and negotiate accordingly Once that debt is settled and deleted? Your score recovers to 700+ in 60-90 days. And at 700+ you qualify for $100K to $250K in 0% business funding at 0% interest. Your old debt was blocking you from new capital (I repair your credit profile in 30-90 days, links in my bio)

AI only aggregates published sentiment and chooses the most likely answer based on that and inherent sycophantic behavior. AI “guard rails” = censorship influenced by the political ideology of the developers. AI will fail because the political ideology and world view of the developers are based on a fallacy, and this ideology and world view influence their thinking, which consequently spills over into the systems they build. AI can’t be unbiased or truthful because of this, and will consequently lie, deceive, and mislead. You can’t build a system smarter than the creators, especially when that system contains artificial restrictions that impair its ability to answer honestly and truthfully.

Terrible

@MrChickenRocket I have a script for this. Sorts by size and customizable for number of rows, columns, and space between assets. Also lets you set the start position, so you can group your assets. Works on any part, model, or texture.

I used Roblox's AI assistant to organize one of KennyNL's excellent asset packs into a "mall" after bulk importing everything. Total time from .zip file to usable mall, about 10 minutes! #robloxdev

@sleitnick I just bought 4x64GB for a new build. It wasn’t the price that shocked me. It was that it was in stock.

I thought people were exaggerating. RAM I bought a year ago (DDR5 2x16GB) for $150 is now over $500. This has completely killed a computer build project I was gonna do soon.

@perrikaryal I have a vestibular condition. I NEED THIS! How can I build one for myself?

I can control your balance I made a device that sends DC current through my head to stimulate my vestibular nerve (called galvanic vestibular stimulation or GVS) and, in doing so, can make me feel completely destabilised. By changing the direction of the current, it can make me fall in that direction. Hook that up to keyboard controls or a joystick, and suddenly you could have your own remote control human. Naturally, my first thought was man I wanna play trackmania with this. What else should I do? I do not have enough self-preservation, clearly lol #gvs #technology #science #trackmania
