Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Oh neat, mines more spongy, like a white bread. I’ll have to try this recipe some time!

Oh interesting! I have one I’ve developed that’s similar but with a slightly different flour blend plus maple syrup instead of sugar for extra structure and vinegar and lemon juice for flavour.

This is going to happen... a lot. Not just because things like the Steam Deck encourage a minimum viable hardware spec, but because a growing portion of our players cannot and will not be able to access major leaps in hardware.

RAM and GPU prices are making the cutting-edge player more rare!

Thinking about the ”rule of three” today in terms of the setup of the first two creating an expectation, a vector through conceptual space seeming to point somewhere, and the third creating the surprise by breaking that expectation.

nobody wants another f2p multiplayer shooter but its the only thing capital will invest in because of how big the two (2) multiplayer shooters that anyone plays are so you just repeat launch dead games forever because capital is dumb as (black)rocks

When I say OpenAI is deep in the red I think people don’t understand just how crimson the hue is.

Canada’s new AI strategy is off to a bad start | BetaKit Canadians already have low trust in AI. Exclusionary and unclear public engagement methods aren’t helping.

My new article on Canada's recent AI strategy consultation. Lightning-fast engagement, dubious data protection measures, black box analysis, & AI-generated summaries from made-in-USA LLMs are not a winning strategy for building public trust

This ended up being a fourth of the amount of content I wanted but I was set on doing a visual game of some sort this game, which unsurprisingly takes a lot of time! Hope folks enjoy regardless!

Ascending the By-and-By by Matthew Guzdial A game of penance and patience

This year for #secretsamol I had rosehipsister who requested "tender sky or another character working through the levels of the by-and-by", so I made a little (barely) visual novel about moving up the layers of the By-and-By!
