this 5 minute doodle that I drew on a post-it note is superior to AI art in soul, skill, originality and personality

ANYTHING that you create yourself is

I think an underappreciated skill in game dev is "under promise, over deliver". This means specifically keeping things like production estimates AND even public talk about features lower in scope than they may actually be, so it doesn't bite you on the ass later if you have to walk something back.

It’s small but progress is progress. It’s a marathon not a sprint and I intend to enjoy the jog. Once I clean up the attack and take damage code I think I can work on the “special” feature. Really excited to see this one through!

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

So I wasn't actually planning on making a post about how I impulse purchased Quest 64 on eBay... until I was genuinely blindsided opening up the package to find it like this:
It's New Super Mario Bros U! Wait... what? A well loved cartridge of Quest 64 bearing the name "Keith Davis" lies inside of the case for New Super Mario Bros. U

"No brand is pushing a product to you"

No, we're just training an AI on the *output* of brands pushing products to you, and then using algorithms to link it to ads/shop pages of brands pushing products to you, and pretending that wedging in code as a middle man makes it "neutral" or "unbiased"

🤮

DirecTV devices currently show Google wallpapers when left idle. But soon, if you leave your TV inactive for 10 minutes, Glance’s AI experience will take its place. It will show a carousel of images that you can insert yourself into by scanning the QR code onscreen. It will prompt you to download the Glance mobile app to upload an image of yourself or someone else. You can also use the “craft my moment” feature to put yourself into a 30-second AI-generated video.

You can further customize the image or video by talking into your remote, such as asking it to change the color or style of clothing it puts you in. Wanchoo tells The Verge that Glance doesn’t create screensavers surrounding a specific product, but instead performs a reverse image search looking for items that are similar to the ones generated by AI. “No brand is pushing a product to you,” Wanchoo says, adding that Glance has 1 trillion SKUs it can match AI-generated images with. If you decide to purchase a product, you’d have to complete the transaction on your phone.

a side effect of the whole AI thing that i hadn't anticipated

we're starting to see fictional AI characters modeled after AI language models (see: XYNADA from QQQbeats)

as someone who tends to enjoy the robot / AI character tropes, i don't like it
