Not a movie, but we'd definitely get a 2nd season of Firefly.

The thing that gets me about this is that the usage numbers just don't match up with this attitude, and AI is so pervasive that I find it hard to believe that no one actually uses it. StackOverflow's 2025 dev survey had 81% reporting usage of AI tools, for instance...

Seen a LOT of criticism over this, which prompts me to ask: do other people in games genuinely believe that studios don't use Gen AI tools for... drafting docs, some form of art, programming, code review, infrastructure, live ops, monitoring, etc etc?

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Man, I am so sorry for your loss. That post brought a tear to my eye.

It blows my mind that there are people - who probably earn minimum wage - defending Musk.

Nothing says "Nobel Peace Prize" more than continually threatening that your Department of War will prepare to invade other countries

I've found Traces soooo much easier to digest for timing and bottlenecks compared to Logs, especially if the framework auto-instruments. Spit it all into Grafana and profit.

Normally really enjoy Preet Bharara's podcast but his interview with Dan Senor was a fucking disgrace. What Israel is doing is genocide. To not push back on that at all and just shy away from it, to accept his explanation of the civilian death toll being acceptable is disgusting

It blows my mind that the USA elected someone whose attitude is literally "I shit on the people of this country" and half the country is just like "thats cool"

If bad AI becomes a cause of GUID clashes that will be a very funny outcome
