I've been getting into unit tests with Godot recently. It's very satisfying to be able to check all the logic clearly like this. I've not done any code testing in absolutely ages and it feels kind of rare and special within game dev.

This is kind of wild and kind of scary. Seems like it's actually generating polygons?

If AI still isnโ€™t good enough to be a tool for state oppression, then whatโ€™s it really good for?

I do sort of think this is a sign of the end of the AI bubble. They were happy to lie through their teeth about what happened but there was no ai-generated video โ€œevidenceโ€ to counter the real videos. You know they absolutely would have used it if it had been at all plausible.

Firefox seems to have removed the spellcheck menu and replaced it with a suite of AI tools to rewrite your words instead. A sad day for those of us who are still (mostly) literate.

This morning Iโ€™m sending yet another message to Unity support because their license server is broken. Iโ€™ve been enjoying godot a lot in my side projects and honestly canโ€™t wait for it to become the new industry standard.

Six figures means 100,000 or more but there could well be some silly people out there.

All the best professions are based on hidden networks of school friends and sycophants. Itโ€™s a sign of maturity of the industry, in fact.
