Yea this is some bonkers wishful thinking. This is basically the Jeremey Clarkson “oh no! Anyway…” meme

This is going to upset 10s of people

Just curious what issues you’re having with the Epic store. I’ve bought a few games now and thought the process was pretty smooth.

Lol, they need to do a little quiz after the movies. But really though, if you don’t want to watch the movies why are you an academy voter

Yea this is like the “Alan Rickman did his first movie at 45”. Like sure, but he was a mega accomplished stage and British TV actor for 20 years prior.

On GitHub, after you make a PR go up to the URL. Right after the pr number add .diff

This will give you a full pr diff. Paste that into what LLM you’re using. I usually prompt with something like

“You’re a senior web engineer. Give this PR a review being aware of modern code practices and syntax. Try to uncover possible bugs. Give 3 to 5 actionable suggestions.”

There’s probably a way to do this in the tools, I’ve just found this works.

These people all work for what seems like huge (video game) businesses. It’s a pretty entitled position to say results aren’t the most important thing. The fact is, they are. If you want the freedom to do things your own way at your own pace, go make your own indie game. I guarantee these “journey over results” types would end up with feature creep and never ship a finished product though.

On the coding side, I’m a senior dev who has been in the industry for 20 years. Not video games but for the web. Easily 40% of the code I ship now is AI written. I’ll use a different AI to review my PRs saving my coworkers time catching the little mistakes I overlooked.

I’ve cut days off my workload over the past year and to say all AI is slop is being intentionally obtuse to the tools. Basically we’ve all been promoted to manager roles and LLMs are the mid level workers we oversee.

This article is trying to paint a picture that these tools are without value and I can feel your finger hovering over the downvote button but the fact is the genie is out of the bottle. They’re not going away and today is the worst they’ll ever be. People that say they’re slower with these tools are going to get left behind by people who are proficient with them.

I was thinking the other day, imagine a plane went down in 2015 with Kanye West and Elon Musk aboard. It would be like “ah man, there go a couple legends”.

15 minutes is crazy fast and assumes they just get exactly what they want first go. You need to factor in running your PC using Photoshop or equivalent, which is fairly resource intensive, sustained over what is realistically 40-60 minutes at best, sourcing assets from servers which are using energy to serve the images. Compared with AI which has high usage for sure but it’s extremely short bursts.

Redemption events at shoppers turn 200k into $300 or 250k into $400 on Black Fridays. Last year they had an event to double your entire point spend which was the best redemption yet (500k became $1000). I’ve used these events to get my PS5, PSVR2, Xbox, switch, Sonos speakers, Apple Airpod Max, sim race wheel. Of course starting this year they’ve stopped carrying all the cool electronics.

All this being said, you can only redeem a max of 500k in any translation so keeping anything more than that doesn’t serve much purpose.

This one had a fair bit of success in America, they had popular cartoon in the mornings in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it was my first exposure to anime.

Ah, I ate the onion

Wtf is the point of this article if you’re not going to include pictures

Let’s just say they moved me… TO A BIGGER HOUSE.

Blast Corps

You’d come in and slap down your penny and they would go “we can’t charge less than a penny so do you want one or two?”

Sorry you’re getting down voted but it’s fact. I work in the tech industry and I’ve got some friends in the games industry. Everyone uses AI in some way. People want to fool themselves into thinking it’s just a handful of mega corps but it’s being used in everything we consume in small ways we can’t see in the end result. The genie is out of the bottle and the line between what is AI and what isn’t AI is going to vary wildly from person to person.

Once again, what’s the value here. We only see AI when it’s someone who’s not very good with Mid Journey prompts. We’re getting to the point where people are using these tools in ways that no one will know the difference.

Content aware fill in photoshop has been around forever. AI.

If ask chat gpt what this unreal engine error message means. Al.

if get a quick llm made script to tune up Some physics, Al.

If the guy making the music generates some starter melodies. AI

If l generate a rock texture and clean it up myself to the point where no one knows. Al.

All of this is AI and all of this will go unseen to the end user, so once again we’ll be expecting developers to self report and only the honest ones will.

Here’s a test give yourself 1 or 2 seconds to make up your mind. https://www.sporcle.com/games/Raydon/image-real-or-ai-generated

It’s tough isn’t it and this is you analyzing the pixels, something we don’t do passively.

It’s already got a name, AGI… Artificial general intelligence
