For all the indians I've muted, but visit my profile because they are malding:

@Pirat_Nation Of course. I don't care about playing something, the "makers" didn't care to create. Of course such things are going to be shit. But same will not apply to AAA. These people are eating shit for years, so they gonna eat this slop too.

Game marketing expert and data analyst Chris Zukowski says there is clear evidence that many Steam users have a negative view of generative AI in games. His analysis found that games with AI disclosures get about 53% fewer reviews than similar games without them, and the reviews they receive are often more negative. “The AI stigma is real,” He said that “high potential games that use AI are getting significantly fewer reviews than expected,” showing that even games with strong sales potential may be affected. Zukowski stressed that this does not prove AI makes games worse. He believes that “using AI in your game appears to come with a cost.”

@RappyGrinder @Pirat_Nation you are going to get a karen with an ai assistant. mark my words

@Pirat_Nation Gonna wait when gaming industry casually replacing 10 overly paid 0 productivity Karens with a nerd and AI assistant.

CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski says fully AI-generated games are coming, but he’s not convinced they’re the future of gaming. He said he “knows for a fact” that these kinds of games are on the way and talked about an AI-focused studio that can make around 40 prototypes in a week, pick the best five, and release a game just a few weeks later. “Maybe that’s going to be successful, but I have some doubts whether this is really the path to follow,” He also said that “people underestimate how difficult it is to make games” and warned that with more and more games coming out every year, it’s getting harder to stand out. Nowakowski believes great games still need something special. “You need a fresh idea, with a soul,”

1. No X, no Y, no Z, only A 2. Irregular or uncharacteristic usage of — or -- 3. Pseudo whitty two sentence pun that ends in an emoji like 💀 or 😂 All key indicators of slop and should be punished accordingly by being slapped around with a large Trout.

@kai_fell Even more funny, it's just a "is_odd" wrapper. So you get not one, but two dependencies for the price of one.

that explains why 90% of rust devs are former javascript devs

@healingaming @Pirat_Nation Has chatgippity already rotted your brain? READ THE FUCKING THING

@Pirat_Nation If those entry level jobs can be replaced by AI now, they are not essential and will eventually get replaced one way or another.

Former Dragon Age writer David Gaider says AI could make game development “frustrating as hell” because developers may end up spending more time fixing AI-generated work. He also worries about the future of the industry, asking, “How are we going to train up the next generation of devs if we eliminate every entry-level task?” According to Gaider, new developers need those early jobs to learn and build experience, and removing them could create problems for the industry in the long run.

@Pirat_Nation He's saying anything at this point. So it's safe to assume he's lying most of the time.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says the AI boom is creating opportunities not only for software engineers but also for skilled workers like electricians, plumbers and carpenters As companies invest billions in building AI data centers, more workers are needed to build, power, cool, and maintain these facilities. Huang called it “the largest infrastructure buildout in human history.” He also said, “Everybody should be able to make a great living. You don’t need to have a Ph.D. in computer science.”

@ChShersh What does "making a trade" mean? I know that "rendering a frame" in a game contains simulating the whole game world including physics simulations and then putting a select window of it through the render process and displaying that on the screen. Still very simplified though.

Never bet against C++

@corbin_braun Don't. Let them do it and charge high consultant fees when it goes wrong. Very high fees.

how would you compete with 1 AI model on a server that performs better for a company than 1,000 employees what does this lead to.

@albertspoon7 @deedydas AI amplifies the hacks and frauds and in turn overworks the competent. AI turns the 0.1x engineer into an 0.001x engineer. But the competent aren't boosted, as AI is not good enough.

@deedydas AI is not the reason of these shit. It has always been. It is just conflict between capitalism and creativity/quality.

Most software engineers are facing an identity crisis bordering on depression. As CTOs aggressively evangelize tokenmaxxing, a class divide ensues. The lazy. The lazy push code. They don't write it. They don't manually test it. They don't even read it. They're on autopilot. See Jira ticket, prompt for task, submit code. Many of them are barely on their computer the whole day. A comment on the PR asking why they did this? The lazy ask AI. A Slack message? The lazy ask AI. Need to prepare for standup? The lazy ask AI. As long as it sounds enough like them and isn't detected. Some of the lazy are even overemployed, and work multiple jobs. The lazy smart ones get away with this, and even rewarded. After all, software engineering for the lazy is just a dance to convince your colleagues you're smart and hard working. The craftsmen. The craftsmen are tired. Very tired. 15 PRs in queue. Slack blowing up. The entire burden of review falls on the craftsman. The burden of understanding. They try. They work their way through the code, thoughtfully commenting to improve what ships. The response? A lazy: "That's a clever idea! You're absolutely right." with an incorrect change. It's fine, the craftsman says. I can fix them. They write a doc urging his colleagues to be better. The next day? 20,000 line PR to review. Day after day, their workload grows. Bugs seep into production. No one seems to care. Another round of AI is thrown at it. Their animosity to their colleagues rises. Eventually, they give up. It's just not what it used to be. The craft they loved is dead. They eventually wake up, a lazy. This isn't all companies. Many companies are genuinely more productive, adopt the right set of principles and practices around AI development and have highly talented teams that trust each other. It tends to happen in bigger companies that are 10+yrs old with a higher talent variance. But it happens. A lot.

@pmddomingos @deedydas If it was so simple, most of software we use today wouldn't be so shit. This is an old problem and AI makes them the 0.001x engineers. Costing everyone elses productivity.

@deedydas Simple: reward the lazy less and the craftsmen more.

@Pirat_Nation Should have done that with WoT and RoP. They tainted two amazing IP's.

Amazon has reportedly dropped plans to release "Artificial." The decision comes shortly after Amazon expanded its partnership with OpenAI. The movie is about Sam Altman and the chaotic events at OpenAI in 2023, when he was briefly fired and then brought back as CEO. The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino and starring Andrew Garfield as Altman, has already been completed. Amazon says it believes the movie would be better handled by another studio and is helping find a new distributor.

@OlexGameDev I like how everyone is staring at the backs of their monitors. Truly highlights the competence of the AI bros.

There are two kind of AI dev clubs: - AI writes code, you fix bugs - You write code, AI fixes bugs Which one are you? I am the latter. This way I understand my code and AI just helps out with bugs that can take days to figure out. For example, I recently fixed a bug with AI's help that has been around for a year+ in my code causing odd animation issues for one bone per rig. (I did an oopsie and wrote a zero in the last 4 bytes of an animation payload, thus damaging one animation key value per rig.) For simple low complexity tasks (small Blender scripts), AI writing code is fine, such as minor Blender scripts. But the moment that complexity and scale goes up, you better switch to "assuming direct control" mode.

Who is json? 🤔

@boobs_scary Though I have to add, I don't perceive Prime as a virtue signaler. He's more of a tinkerer and shitposter.

@boobs_scary keywords are "virtue signal" and "tinker". You can replace anything you said with anything. The tinkerer will always outperform the virtue signaller.

Programmers who virtue signal about CLI coding, in my experience, are almost always outperformed by a guy who tinkers in VS code on his windows thinkpad from 2018.

@MiaMiette_ It's not. The majority of "devs" who like AI, are webslop devs. I hesitate to call these people devs at all, considering what they have done to the internet in the past 20 years. When you have to write actual good and performant software, AI is total garbage.

I’m not sure coding is exempt from the “GenAI is bad” conversation 🫩

@a__pay @alexwtlf The romans never claimed 100x the speed, unlike these AI companies. So where are these solo devs that had a 100 years worth of engineering in the past year? Where are all these amazing products?

@alexwtlf Rome wasn’t built in a [year]

Claude code has been out for over a year now. We were promised thousands of solo founders building million-dollar businesses. where are they?

@dragosroua @Govindtwtt They are spending an awful lot for being in a discovery phase... So much that the sunken cost fallacy has set in and they rather go down with the ship (or hand the bill to the tax payer most likely) than change course.

@Govindtwtt The car is just not a better horse, and that’s why cars replaced horses. But you don’t know what you don’t know, so now we’re in the discovery phase…

The current AI race feels a bit like building mechanical horses. We’re trying to replicate existing jobs instead of redesigning work around what computers are actually good at. That’s usually not how the future arrives.

@ApostateProphet In total numbers of victims, yes. But there's political parties running to do something. There is a theoretical path to justice available. The same is not true for epstein. No names, no real political movement. Justice probably will never come (but I love to be wrong here)

Britain is worse than Epstein's Island. It is Muhammad's Island.

@wariocolosseum They wont cease existing. AI can't take your hobbies away. But what AI will do is flooding social media with crap, so it will be very hard to find people sharing their hobbies and make us doubt everything, which sucks out the enjoyment of sharing and consuming others art.

it’s terrifying to think of a future where all of our creative hobbies no longer exist bc of gen ai
