@shadesofsilver @LudensLudonauta If you made hollow knight you get to do whatever you want. Regardless, there are always exceptions. Whats needed is consistency

@LudensLudonauta There are some benefits to building in secret, and it's not always about paranoia. Sometimes it's simply about "I don't want to market an incomplete product." Look at Silksong. Announced, 8 years of silence, and a launch so big it crashed every online store.

If I had to name a single mistake that leads to every game failing to achieve financial success it would be: Building in secret. The fear of being copied, judged, exposed, ignored, or dismissed is preventing most indies from building a successful game.

@rendererr humans get caught up in hype a lot, did you see the gemini 3 stuff at the end of last year lol I don't think that's such a bad thing though (in general)

Feels like every few years something gets yanked out of niche tech circles and anointed as the current speculative mania. I remember scrolling on here when OpenClaw started gaining serious traction and nobody could name a single truly interesting use case for it. Meanwhile I watched as my local MicroCenter sold 45 Mac Minis in a day. I seriously almost bought one out of pure fomo. Then when I was in China last month, there were free events to help grandmas get their OpenClaws set up. That's when I knew 100% it was a fad. "But it texts you first!" Why the fk do you want your AI to text you? Put the mac mini in the bag bro

@GergelyOrosz ..wasn't that always true for UX? design was the bottleneck not implementation. AI has just lowered the barrier to entry

Prediction: The next 12-24 months, "UX-pilled" builders will be in massive demand. Who can create intuitive interfaces, web+mobile+desktop apps that "feel good," natural, fast, and far better than the competition. THIS will be the difference vs those building "just" with AI.

can we stop fucking around and make the omnigame? put everything in one game. just do it. there's no reason to make more than one game.

@Curious_Rum @br0tos yea this is way too vague

@br0tos Academics or tech

There have probably been few myths as damaging spread on twitter as the myth of the autodidact. In truth most popular anons come to some degree from the academic world, and only an equivalent institution can replace it. Rigor is the hardest thing to teach.

@TomJBelfort @mudscryer its a test score why wouldn't you use the exact figure

It’s really awful being 143 IQ and such a total failure in life. I got my PhD in biology thinking I was going to help save the world but no one has hired me for a permanent position in over a year and a half of searching. I thought proof of my high IQ was supposed to land me a job

@alxfazio doubt. Indie spaces and niches always manage to bubble up. If anything, I expect this to create more opportunities if they discover new useful tools, and there's communities created of users who want "x tool but y way" that is too niche for larger companies to cater to

the window for experimenting with llms has basically closed now. the megacorps have fully hit escape velocity and are shipping new products and new features daily. the shift is that they’re not just shipping llms anymore, they’re using llms to build products and improve existing ones at scale. the wild west era of llms isn’t really the wild west anymore. a year ago, this could’ve been an indie dev side project, maybe even a monetizable product. it was literally so easy that the only real bottleneck was your free time. now, whatever idea you have, you should basically assume google/anthropic/oai will build some version of it within a week and wipe out most of the startup surface area around it

@SeloSlav @maxtumin can it not be viewable from the outside? Could be possible to fake with a teleport

@maxtumin Yeah but what if it needs to be server authoritative because your PvP game takes place in an apartment complex and inside elevators as well haha

Programming an elevator in a multiplayer game is difficult beyond all imagination.

@instant_party @keysmashbandit Surely it can still be a nagging thought, even if you don't believe everything is downstream from it

@keysmashbandit Are we respecting iq as a metric

IQ, especially one's personal IQ score, is one of the few things I consider a genuine infohazard, and I believe one should do whatever they can to avoid ever being assessed at any point in their life. Every single possible n carries huge potential to fuck up your self-perception, self-esteem, or your relationship to the common man, and probably it's going to do all three of those things. Just a complete and total net negative any way you slice it.

@gabriel1 @keysmashbandit I have doubts about that working well for a lot of reasons

@keysmashbandit anyone with substantial text on the internet will probably have their iq predicted fairly well by llms in a year

@airkatakana I don't think that incentive for starting it would make sense

kinda funny how openai started the “chatgpt is using all the water”psyop to stop everyone under 90 iq from wasting compute on dumb questions and then years later those same 90iq people are voting to stop datacenter construction with that same reasoning

@GeForce_JacobF we need to chill with the chromatic aberration

Another example, notice the improved shadows under objects and accurate reflections!

Path Tracing off vs on in PRAGMATA, makes a big difference in the research station with accurate reflections, shadows and more 👍

@chiefofautism @craigzLiszt it definitely does.. that is exceedingly easy to study and has been done many times

@craigzLiszt iq doesnt corellate with success anyway

talking speed & walking speed are both correlated with high iq

@craigzLiszt ??

@davidpattersonx @nikitabier @elonmusk I'd def use this if it worked well

The X algorithm should be promptable. Prompt: No politics today - just the best AI innovations. @nikitabier @elonmusk

@UltraLinx might make an online test if I can find a good public domain source of reading questions + multiple choice answers

Can you read 900 words per minute? Try it.

@tomieinlove I mean sure I guess.

Intelligence without an aesthetic sense is one of the most repulsive things there is.

IQ is not a stat check in an rpg

@inflammateomnia @DavidSHolz conversely, many cathedrals are built when a cabin was more than sufficient now the other problem is that cabins aren't as interesting for the builder, or at the least emphasize a different set of skills...

@DavidSHolz Your ration of allowable marketing increases with the level of your skill/craft/output Nobody should begrudge you advocating for your creative work. It's selling a cathedral when you've built a cabin that sets off people's finely tuned bullshit detectors

i have *many* brilliant and charismatic friends who are afraid to use the strength of their 'soft skills' to make their biggest impacts on the world, feeling that developing and using 'hard skills' (i.e. coding or math) are morally superior and the only true forms of creation. but creation isnt only about action, its about accomplishing goals. its about making stuff happen that would not have happened otherwise, and doing so in a way that amplifies your values onto the world
