"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.

The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

Why
β€ͺ@why.bsky.team‬
Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.

In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

⬇️ ⬇️ start throwing money at indies across all artistic industries and not only will you start getting more stuff of actual quality, you will see a deluge of DIVERSE quality stuff too.

An image of a poem in the style of "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. It reads: 
I met a temple rock from an antique land,  
Which saidβ€”β€œThese vast and empty walls of stone  
Stand in the desert. . . . Consumed by the sand,  
Once dwelt a Sundered Broken House, whose crown  
And speech to stones, and gift to them command,  
Were lost when Shapers fell and their godhead  
Which may survive, stamped in celestial things  
The tools that served them, and the hearts that fed;  
Yet through Eternal Night, we still are here:  
In Kibbenimkedaz, the Tome of Names;  
Look on sunken colossi, and despair!  
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay  
Of that unending Barrow, dark and bare,  
The place of birds and wings stretches away.

My wicked rabbit makes her debut in Animal Noir, out tomorrow with Little Key Press!! That skull is her writing partner and accomplice, and they'll do anything for the cat she loves.

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter
