@notch Big agree. It's like letting a very expensive, very sophisticated parrot dictate code for you. It might get some things right, but it doesn't really understand logic.

Reminder that using AI to write code is an incredibly bad idea still, and anyone advocating for it is either incompetent or evil. It's just as dumb as letting AI write the laws. It's about logic, not about typing.

@84Aleha It’s so obvious your stuff is AI, you “drew” the highlights on the window slats before you drew the slats themselves. I hope people think more critically and realize your fraud

@notch @LewisCTech I also think overuse of LLMs rob users of the chance to learn skills themselves. You’re outsourcing your thinking and learning to a machine. The same way using a walking machine to walk would atrophy your muscles, using a thinking machine will atrophy your mind.

The fact that LLMs produce bad code that inexperienced or lazy coders (of which I am one, btw) don't pick on at first is just the tip of the iceberg. The fact that ai generated content currently can't be copyrighted is another major issue. And I also worry about ai being a poison pill designed give the people who control the ai an INCREDIBLY POWERFUL man-in-the-middle attack on all programming, but that would be crazy conspiracy talk, right?

Starting to realise that the pro/anti LLM debate is just a junior/senior programmer debate in disguise. Think about it. Senior devs like Ryan Fleury, Tsoding and Notch are all skeptics... but junior devs like Theo cite AMAZING productivity gains because their floor is so low.

@TimSweeneyEpic Governments weren't calling to ban X before people started using Grok to generate weird images. Allowing generation of sexual images of children isn't an issue of free speech.

Good for Canada. The last thing any citizen of a free nation should tolerate is political leaders looking to block outlets for exercising their free speech rights. I stand by everything I've said on this topic 100%.

@TynanSylvester This is simpler than thinking because it lacks understanding. I could be taught to recognize patterns in Chinese text without ever knowing Chinese, yet I would lack understanding of what the text means and why it is assembled the way it is.

@TynanSylvester I don’t think so at all. If you could watch tens of thousands of hours of someone speaking, you would recognize what words often come after others. You don’t need to know anything about what they’re thinking to replicate a pattern in language.

Why do people say AI "just" predicts the next token as though this is somehow simpler than thinking? If you can predict what someone will say, you must be tracing the same processes they used to generate those words. You must recreate their thought process. You must think.

@notch @Grummz The only people I see speak about AI positively are people who either work for / are invested in an AI company, or people who have made it their entire personality (AI bros) because they hope it can substitute for their lack of skill / passion

@Grummz I made the best selling game in the world (1) and I'm telling you it's NFT talk. (1: According to some sources. I doubt it)

Every god tier dev is saying this now. Still not convinced?

i have a wonderful generative tool. it's called my brain

I love old forum posts

@Not_Silly0 @ConcernedApe I was using Godot a bunch and switched to MonoGame for freedom as well. I didn't like feeling forced to design my game to fit someone else's engine rather than making an engine to fit the game. But it was fun to use! I hope you find the option that fits your vision the best.

@Not_Silly0 @ConcernedApe Best of luck! Frameworks like MonoGame can be daunting, you have to make basically everything yourself. For an engine on Linux, I would definitely recommend Godot (you can use C# with it, though it's not the main language). Unity is a bit glitchy but also works.

@Not_Silly0 @ConcernedApe I can vouch for MonoGame on Linux. I'm working on a game in it, and use Linux Mint as my main OS. Works great for development, and you can easily build for other OS's with a command. If you like C# and want to build it yourself, you can't go wrong with MonoGame

@ConcernedApe Looking forward to reading them all in Haunted Chocolatier, but it's a shame you don't share more of those thoughts. That "stop hexing yourself" video was very motivating and inspiring

whenever I wake up in the middle of the night thinking I'm about to write a whole essay on Twitter, on the nature of good and evil or some other self indulgent philosophy slop, i'll just add a new book to haunted chocolatier's library instead. Its a win win

@code4broke @JustinTrudeau Crazy how the government can just tell you to kill your animals under the guise of "food safety" when the animals aren't even used for food. Makes no sense.

Ostriches in a small town in BC, which I like to go see when I'm nearby, are being culled. I don't often rally behind a cause, but this hits close to home. Please help save these big, dumb, beautiful birds. @JustinTrudeau last chance at redemption bud.

@notch Never thought about it like that before

Hey guys, it's me. Just wanted to remind you not to give up on your dreams. ... Like, even if you want to, just like, don't.
