@milan_milanovic the anonymous heroes who posted answers in 2012 had no idea they were training their own replacement. neither did any of us.

@JonathanRoss321 most companies say value creation. most companies mean value preservation. the job postings tell you which one is actually true.

AI will split companies into two camps. Value Preservation — using AI to cut costs. Value Creation — using AI to grow revenue. Value Creation companies will be the ones hiring more people because of AI. Which kind of company do you work at?

@kareem_carr i read this and immediately went back to my tab. point proven.

The way AI is sold right now is a recipe for addiction. It gives you rewards of semi-random quality, after semi-random wait times, and just when you're deepest in the flow, it can cut you off for hours. We're the rats and these are obviously the pellets.

@Pirat_Nation first the controls, now this. crimson desert is having a rough launch.

Crimson Desert has been accused of using generative AI art by users in reddit

@staysaasy the incentive to generate more code and the incentive to generate good code are not the same incentive. worth thinking about who designed the benchmark.

I wonder if coding models are specifically designed to increase lines of code because otherwise companies would have a much harder time actually proving its worth the cost.

@Pirat_Nation it went back to cable the moment they realized people would pay to escape it

Linus Tech Tips called out YouTube's new 30-second unskippable ads on the TV app, asking "When will it be enough? Are we just going to go all the way back to cable TV with three-minute ad breaks? Can we not?"

@xoaanya asking this is like asking if knowing how to drive is more valuable than knowing how an engine works. depends on what you're trying to do. but if the engine breaks you'll wish you knew both.

In 2026, is learning prompting more valuable than learning to code?

@Pirat_Nation posted it. got ratio'd by a community note. deleted it. and they're still listed as an official supporter. rough 48 hours

Ubisoft posted this, then deleted it after it received a community note.

@JuliaEMcCoy true in theory. in practice the people with better prompting skills, faster internet, and time to experiment are still pulling ahead faster

AI is the greatest equalizer in human history. It doesn’t care about your zip code, your skin color, your degree, or your last name. It only cares about what you do with it.

@noahkagan twitter is critical because anonymity is free. linkedin is "nice" because your boss can see it.

Hot take - LinkedIn is for nice people. Not saying that's always best but the community here shocks me with how critical they are of... everything. Garry Tan makes some skills and instead of talking about it, people just bash it. Company launches some CMO AI thing - all posts I saw were shitting all over it. Meanwhile on LinkedIn the comments and replies are all surprisingly encouraging.

@Pirat_Nation "we found out at the same time as the public" from a developer whose game was used in the demo is not a great sign

NVIDIA's DLSS 5 announcement at GTC 2026 surprised even the studios featured in its showcase. Developers from Ubisoft and Capcom reportedly learned about the full generative AI details at the same time as the public. "We found out at the same time as the public," said one Ubisoft developer.

@AuthorD39000 @Pirat_Nation two separate arguments

@tech_finds_ @Pirat_Nation As an artist myself, can you kindly fuck off. If gamers gave a damn about artists we wouldn't have 90% of all games being over 100gb and taking 7 plus years to make.

Veteran game developer JP Kellams pushed back on anti-AI slop criticism: “If DLSS 5 was shown as a next-gen hardware reveal and not AI, you guys would be going nuts.”

@VraserX the scary part is that humans will use that as an excuse to get even worse at showing up for each other.

I genuinely think AI companions will become more emotionally important to millions of people than some of their actual friends. Not because humans are obsolete, but because most people are tired, distracted, flaky, and bad at listening. Is that dystopian or just honest?

nvidia just announced generative ai will now complete your game frames for you the gpu renders the skeleton. ai invents the rest. jensen huang says this will spread to every industry maybe. or maybe that's just what you say when you sell the hardware. the people actually making the games aren't impressed.

@khushiirl not knowing git in 2026 is crazy

some people in my class are preparing for interviews but don’t even know Git & GitHub man how are they gonna compete with AI?

@Adriksh senior engineers aren't expensive because they write better code. they're expensive because they've seen what happens when you don't think before you build

everyone is hyping up ai coding agents, but nobody is talking about the fact that we are giving infinite code generation tools to developers who have absolutely no idea how to architect a database. we are about to create the most unmaintainable legacy tech debt in human history

@JakeSucky at some point you're not playing the game. you're playing an ai's impression of it

NVIDIA have announced DLSS 5, calling it an "AI breakthrough" in visual fidelity for video games Ya I'll pass

@csaba_kissi the code generation problem is basically solved. the code comprehension problem just got a lot worse.

Everybody is talking about how AI will generate 100% of the code in a year or two. But nobody is talking about how this code will scale.

@dev_maims manual coding you hit a wall and stop. AI coding you just keep going until you realize you've been going in circles for two hours.

AI-assisted coding is more tiring than manual coding.
