Why I Refuse to Use "AI" Unreal Engine UI programmer

my former colleague wrote up a great summary of refutations to the common reasons to use GenAI / LLMs, and I have to say I agree with all of them.

even if certain aspects get addressed, like environmental impact by running local models, it still doesn't address any of the other issues.

I've had such DRM-riddled trouble with this that I've gotten into the habit of just tipping the author or joining their patreon or whatever before just pirating the epub for convenience! Please share if you find a consistent solution that isn't a pain to use!

To be clear on what they're proposing: human beings using water for drinking, washing, and growing crops will be rationed.

The AI datacenters will have all the water they can contaminate.

I see'em and go boot up Tapas & Webtoon when I do...and then remind myself that I need to set up an RSS app instead of using The Bad Apps™️...aaaand then forget to until the next artist I follow posts an update 🫣

It's legit really good - I'm a couple hundred hours deep at this point...

Can confirm: literally everything that was privatised over here has been having some sort of crisis for the last decade - that includes the Royal Mail, which now barely even bothers to post anything 2nd class anymore...

QQ, though: I thought the masks with the those circle air filters protect the wearer, but don't protect the peeps around'em as they only filter when you breathe in, not out - is that not correct? Did I internalise some misinformation during the pandemic? 🫣

Congratulations! You've now put more thought into this than most games! As someone who can't use a controller for shit, I really appreciate it 🙏🙌 Frustratingly, not even Hollow Knight adds this kind of cursor support!

Aha, I think we can be pretty sure that she's not posting on Bluesky herself, but that it's an active decision by her team to format it in this way - hence my curiosity!

I get that - but what does the screenshot add? We all read the text of the post...and then see the image below, which is just the same text in image form? I don't get it!

I'm real glad Zarah's statements are getting posted here, but can anyone explain why they always include the twitter screenshot? Feels kinda weird?

If the protest makes too much noise, too, then remember it can be declared illegal under the new protest laws! 🙄

Transcript from messsaging app: "so my camera does all of this - the fuji x-t5, but whilst the autofocus does have the eye tracking, its not up to sony standards. It would work and be probably mostly fine, but if they ever used the sony options, the autofocus is THAT much better they'd probably end up regretting not spending the extra! The sony a7 v is coming out soon, which could make used prices of some of the other sony options come down a notch. Its my only gripe moving from sony back to fuji. Autofocus. Sony is so good, it feels like cheating, haha"

So I asked my brother (the biggest camera nerd I know) about this critera, and got this response, if it's of any use to you?

You've somehow managed to pull it back so far it looks more like Morrowind, here!

it was heartbreaking to see Japanese Breakfast shill for Gemini 😭

My vinyl collection grows each year, along with the strength of my desire to, one day, live somewhere big enough to have a setup I can listen to it from! 🫣

Top-notch sleuthing there! Thank you! I shall kick back and hide from the heat for another couple hours, then ✌️

This is what swung me more to the "asshole leadership" side - if they're using Midjourney for their side projects then I don't want them anywhere near a Subnautica 2!

Alas, if only that were the reason! www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

Oh yeah, I'm not laying this at the door of the devs at all - but, now that Krafton have given the creators the boot, I'm sceptical that anything good can come of the IP anymore 😢

THAT SAID, I wish everyone who works at Unknown Worlds the best, and I hope they can make it out of this intact!

Mmmmm, bit dubious as to what this is funding given the recent news 😬

This Labour party is, for anyone who hadn't spotted it yet, exactly the same as the damn Tories were.

This isn't too yuck on your yum, though! I'm glad you're having a blast! 🙌

I really liked the first bit but felt tricked when the whole game changed artstyle and the gameplay became super uninteresting to me - by which time I'd played 2.1 hours and couldn't get a refund 😡😤

I wouldn't be so annoyed if it was advertised, but it came out of the blue! I had no way of knowing!

Can confirm that we spot it in our areas of expertise much more effectively than others - I can sniff out AI-generated code in a codebase in a flash!
