Managers sign off on worse and more risky decisions all the time. They just know when to not leave a paper trail.

Maybe we need to teach them the kinds of things that AI can’t do, instead of the same old crap?

Still can’t bike over a speedbump without these fuckers popping out of my ears. I’d rather use my big-ass Sennheiser headphones to escape that anxiety.

Rayman and Cosmere board game kickstarters in the same week? This’ll be tough on my wallet

I don’t think this about trying to close it, but rather put a big fat sticker on everything that comes out of the box, so consumers can actually make informed decisions.

I really like the idea of Nebula, but the way they market themselves as “creator owned” without being an actual workers cooperative seems deceitful (still much better than YouTube, though!)

Don’t worry, most of them are just running the American nuclear arsenal.

So many unused iPads around the world collecting dust because they seem super convenient, but in reality kinda suck to use for anything other than streaming.

And the insurance will rip you in ways you will be surprised are legal. There is no winning.

The way the presenters had to talk over the voice to interrupt it was awkward as hell. It also seemed to pick up on background noise from the audience often and interrupt itself. That makes it unusable in loud public settings (which imo is great, I hope it will never be socially acceptable to chat loudly with your AI in public).

I’ve made a couple of games in Godot over the last year, and watched this video yesterday. It’s a really, really good intro to the software. So much covered in just an hour, with a good balance between doing things the easy way, and doing things the correct way. That’s often a hard balance to achieve in gamedev/programming tutorials.

Teach. I already teach and I would continue to do so even if I had enough money to retire. I just love seeing young people discover the joy of programming and 3D modeling.

I think that’s the entire point of this exercise. Thinking about what making the world better would actually mean and entail.

They haven’t had a 65 year old for a colleague yet. Just wait until they’ve helped their 60+ y/o colleagues disable Caps Lock for the 50th time.

Guys, I think age is making us boring. I also personally prefer black rectangles and soft neutral lights, but I think we’re the bories.

I also sport a couple of hand tattoos. Only 3 are dev related though.

Scroll through the trained models on civit.ai and you’ll quickly get a feeling of the dystopian level of “prettifying” everything in the AI-generation world.

I also once searched for “brown” just to see if any models were trained to create non-white-skinned people, and got shocked when the result was filled with models trained on Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things. I don’t even want to know what those models are used for.

Sound like you need to practice with some Flexbox Defense

Until they realise that almost no production chains can continue without the hard work of the poorest at the beginning of the chain.

I use Minecraft with my students to introduce them to command-line-like scripting. Especially the worldedit plugin is fantastic for this. It keeps things light and shows them the power of scripting, in an environment they are familiar and comfortable with. They are much more comfortable with using a terminal/cmd afterwards.
