I wish that users of LLMs had even an inkling of how it worked. And in this case I wish they understood that the LLM is just as likely to make up random bullshit or miss important parts of the inputs as it is to give you a useable summary.

I thought I was going to stop at 300 but you did it you bastards you pulled me back in for one more job ai-sucks-actually.fyi

Remember: after you fix the motion smoothing on your parent's and friend's tvs, go ahead and change the default search engine on their computers and phones. Google search has not been good for some time, but now it is truly shithouse.

Yep. Got some entitled white dude on now saying that the CGT changes will kill startups because if you sell it for a massive sum of money you might have to pay a few percent more tax on your massive earning. If you have a huge tax bill, then you had a huge profit. You are gonna be fine.

An exclusive interview with the young Aussie battler hit hardest by the budget, and we obviously don't mean people in poverty or being kicked off the NDIS, we mean the real victims in the media. chaser.com.au/general-news...

I do love it when bluesy vibe codes a big fukkin outage. Fun times.

I don't know how to explain to vibe coders that 'agentic' just means that you are brute force flipping a coin to get heads 20 times in a row. when you finally get it (ie the thing actually compiles and maybe passes some tests*) it is still gonna be shitty code that you should not push to production.

maybe don't push faulty drivers to production? just sayin'

Are you an Aussie game dev or even someone interested in games? you should take the time to fill this out.

All the developers 404 Media talked to were excited to try using LLMs at work at first, or were at least curious about them. Their feelings about the tools, based on their personal experience, are now overwhelmingly negative. AI is rotting their brains www.404media.co/software-dev...

See this crap right here? Reviewers are right. The general gaming public is right. NO ONE WANTS GEN AI!!! #StopTheSlop

I am sure the ABC has already kicked off a task force to track down some rich assholes who have been doing nothing except extracting money using negative gearing and the CGT benefit across their portfolio of real estate to tell us all how tough they are going to be doing it with the new budget.

The coalition's entire response to the budget seems to boil down to: "why won't someone think of the really rich people??" and "they told the very rich people that nothing would change, and then they changed things to be slightly better for the not-as-rich"

unfortunately I turned the tv off moments after Tim Wilson's face appeared so I will never get to know what stupid bullshit he had to say. #auspol and honestly the split second we did see him was infinitely too long to have to look at his face.

The discourse right now: "erudite gamers": big industry money needs to fund smaller riskier games eg: eew not like that

Poster: I like a thing Audience: meh P: I don't like a thing A: oh yeah? P: some people like a thing and I think they are dumb for liking it A: FUCK YES! Critical analysis is important, but engagement farmers lean heavily on the third option above. I don't like that and you are dumb if you do.

appreciate all the people replying to explain that one piece has become a symbol of IRL revolution, but in a funny twist—and in fairness, I don’t expect most people to know about this—aftermath was one of the first sites to write about that phenomenon aftermath.site/one-piece-fl...

I have been using Unity professionally for ~20 years. Started at 1.2, have shipped countless games on Unity. I am stuck with it for some games that are still going, but starting about 12 months ago; all my new commercial projects are Godot. Friends don't let friends start new game projects in Unity.

this looks kinda fun!

Agentic is the new homeopathic

disappointing but unsurprising.

just watching ABC morning and they are talking food and cooking and showing heaps of b-roll of people cooking and all I can think is: SHARPEN YOUR FUKKKIN KNIVES!!! jfc people.

Every single person who has ever interacted with an LLM knows that it will simply ignore the prompt half the time. So I find it deeply funny that people still believe that the prompts are somehow going to keep it in line. Prompts are not guardrails. More like a light suggestion.

so, Bluesky is glitchy as hell this morning yeah? many feeds just not loading. Love me some vibe coding. oh, that rhymed unintentionally.

as a longtime ubuntu user I do not like this. I know it is meant to be all opt in for now, easy to turn off, etc. but still. AI is not a good fit for OS level features.

Pretty much. www.instagram.com/reel/DXmxTc4...

the entirety of modern indie dev, and frankly most of AAA buildout, fits entirely in the 0% rate window too ever wonder where the publishers got all that money to invest in what anyone could see was a famously risky industry?

ICYMI - In conversation with Canberra studio, Uppercut Games! Always exciting to hear good things coming out of the ACT 👏 https://region.com.au/canberra-games-keep-breaching-new-horizons-and-its-all-thanks-to-independent-studios/

Just a gentle reminder that people who post really dumb shit just want you to reply to them. Just block them and move on, otherwise their engagement goes up and they get into way more feeds. I know it feels good to dunk on them, but that is exactly what they are after.

thing I love about social media; you're reading an interesting post, and then two accounts in the replies get into a super petty argument and it is totally obvious that they are both shitty chatbots that think the other one is not a chatbot. FML, what are we even doing here?

Giraffes, not whales

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

There are so many execs out there who meet with high craft game developers who have been making hits for years and they just want to make a really great single player game to the best of their ability. & the exec is like no I want to piss my money into AI garbage for a massive loss please

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich"

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!! Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on! I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

Bluesky: <currently utterly fucked, nothing works> bluesy engineer: <dusts off hand> well, that's fixed it! Now I will spend a few hours writing a blog post about how it is allll fixed! pckt.blog/b/jcalabro/a... (I got this from another post, but could not reply or quote, so.. yeah: good jorb bsky)

Bluesky has been well borked for nearly a day now. I can at least see posts now and again, tho sometimes I need to either wait or force reload. Can I see replies: haha! no. How about quotes? definitely not. change to other feeds? unlikely. Can I at least make a post complaining about it? unknown.

Weird, considering there was a recent Korean-Chinese study that came to the conclusion that art students who use genAI are more likely to show traits like narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. And the study in general paints a bad picture of genAI users. futurism.com/ai-students-...

This is catastrophic.

if you agree that we all need a bit of good news right now, you should back this so it gets to $100k. otherwise, you’ll be rooting for bad news why do you hate good news so much? what is wrong with you?

THIS. IS. IT. The FINAL 24 hours of our Kickstarter. It's been the absolute ride of our professional lives and we can't thank you enough! There is also still A GIANT MOON about to COLLIDE WITH THE MAGAZINE. If we hit $100k, we CAN STOP THE MOON. www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

oh wow, so SHOCKING, "AI" doesn't exist actually (Apple paper proves LLMs can't math or think or understand a problem) nitter.poast.org/heynavtoor/s...

Getting to $100k in this campaign would mean we can start creating longform videogames writing, beautifully illustrated, before the magazine drops later in the year. I don't know what the giant moon is doing !!!
