@xah_lee Can you imagine being dumb enough to use AI that is not running on your own local hardware, to write code for you, without understanding that obviously your code is going to have to go to the remote server so the AI can figure out what to write?
How do they think it works—magic?

massive ai drama.
says grok build grabs ur entire code base and upload to their google cloud.
am thinking, whadda u expect?
once u let ai agent touch ur code, they do the touching, and they no forget.
been that way ever since open source fanaticism created cloud services.

Video game pitch:
You're an underpaid government inspector lost in an anomalous series of endless corridors—but your phone still works, so find a way out, while vibecoding a video game to pay your family's bills. It's called:

It's incredible to see how people on this website will just talk out of their ass with complete and total confidence about things they know exactly nothing about (such as how profitable the recent DOOM titles have been).

This reaction from John Carmack may have surprised some id/DOOM fans but not me. John will always be near the top of my Pantheon as an engineer and gaming innovator, but there's this other side of him also well known if you've been paying any attention.🧵

No matter how good Claude is at coding, it’s still a redditor, at least at factory settings. This answer is brain-dead garbage. No, working for money is not a scam, and no other historical system didn’t involve work.

@opinali “This is obviously false and a very diselegant comment.”
Literally how would you know?

@rezich I don't think that of course and the fact you ask this shows how you deeply misunderstood my whole thread. I wasn't lecturing Carmack on how to make games or make money with games.

I have been trying to find something meaningful to say about the Id Software layoffs. My “Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand” statement isn’t aging well, and this is certainly going to dampen the mood of the founder reunion at QuakeCon next month. I’m saddened, but I can’t muster anger or outrage over it. I don’t have access to the books, but I suspect that Id Software was a marginal business from Microsoft’s perspective. I believe the reports that Minecraft revenues have been carrying several other studios. To continue being produced long term, games need to succeed, not just be beloved. Games are competing with every other option for spending your leisure time and money, and the competition is brutal. You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games. Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy? Could they have created more things for fans to buy? Could they have cost effectively marketed in a way that reached more players that would have loved and bought the games? Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones? Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper? I really don’t know. The game isn’t over yet, and I hope the studio rallies through.

@opinali What exactly makes you think you—a fan—have a better idea of what the boots-on-the-ground reality of modern id is like, better than he?

🔫"You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots"
And I agree at least with this part, John. They mostly aren't idiots, they are just craven bean-counters who only care about next quarter's stock comp and bonus and don't give a flying fuck for games or gamers. 🔚

A macro cheat sheet to try to explain how it works ...
English
Haha no surprise they didn't invite me to the "better software" conference!

Going all in to only {if,goto} but through better macros,
label:
J_(label); -> goto label;
JNzI1_(label,v); -> if(v!=0)goto label;
Can fix up nanorc syntax highlight by layering rules that override color, works well ...

>Excellent. A 415 MB executable and 26.5 GB of temporary Rust artifacts—the natural price of an empty text box.
I've never seen a greater indictment of Rust (and modern software in general) in so few words holy shit

I asked sol how to disable the extremely annoying suggestion text in the input box in codex. It read the online docs, suggested some config option that didn't work. Instead of guessing another setting, it went and looked up the source code on github and told me that there's no config for this. I'm like, if it's on github can't we just clone, patch, and recompile it? Yes, yes we can.

@valigo In MGS1, it's unclear if the reference is being made to The X-Files or just Watergate—but if you get a few episodes into season two, and (re)play MGS2, it becomes clear that it's the former.

@St_Rev Both of my brothers (who are always trying to get me to watch whatever flavor-of-the-year Netflixslop too) tell me plural times a year that I NEED to play this game—thank you for (re-)confirming that, no, I actually do not.

"oh they write evil with such depth" yes because there's no good in the universe they developed, everyone's explicitly evil or up to their balls in demon contracts. which makes it an *utterly shit* D&D game for that alone, never mind every other aspect of the game.

I assume from the comments here that there's some other game named Baldur's Gate 3, perhaps from a different timeline, that isn't a miserable hybrid of grimdark, softcore porn, and Netflix premium mediocre
Jamrock Hobo@JamrockHobo
Baldur's Gate 3 is a great game but I think of this image whenever someone praises its writing in particular

my kid still nurses, and now they ask for “boob” all the time - hundreds of times a day. today, im with her: she lightly bumps her arm, and she asks for “boob”. so i say, “listen, you can’t just want boob every time you’re upset”. and that’s how i learned i’m a hypocrite.

@DarkOssoff @bartholomode @eigenrobot What's it like going through life adding new facts into your working model of the world exclusively when you encounter them in the form of a headline or chyron, like some kind of Wikipedia article made flesh?
