I made Antichamber. Now I'm making something else.
Thanks for linking. I love hearing Adam talk about design and process.

You're suggesting that in order to have more polygons and power, you must have a worse user experience as the tradeoff. That is the part that is false, which people are pushing back on.
Artists creating models and engineers pushing polygons have nothing to do with the people making user interfaces.

Yeah I'm with Ian. I used to put a game into a GameCube, and it would load that game. You put a cartridge in the SNES and turn it on, and you're playing that game. It wasn't always like this at all.
Companies add friction and squeeze users thinking they're completely captive. This is false.

I love the idea of it seeming unfair that candidates are using AI to pass their interviews when the employers are using AI to screen their candidates.

I don't particularly care for a lot of US political stuff (I'm not from the US!) but I enjoyed this piece. It's very clear and practical.

Human error like... agitating the spider and having it angrily run around and you're like "ahh fuck catch it be careful don't get bitten!!"

Oh cool. We just have a plastic cup we call the spider cup, and we place it over the spider, then slide a piece of paper or cardboard underneath to seal it off... flip it upside down, shake it side to side if the spider tries to climb up... walk outside, and dump the spider outside.

Yeah see, normally if I want rice to stick together, I'm all about Jasmine (or Sushi Rice if I'm making Japanese or Bibimbap or something and care about smaller grains), but brown rice in Cuckoo is just different... not the same as "rice cooker" rice in general. Different taste / texture entirely!

I like brown rice cooked in my Cuckoo Rice Cooker. It's very fluffy and yummy. That's my main opinion about rice.

Well, thanks to you both. I watched several Design Theory videos in a row and thought they were all excellent. They align very well with a whole lot of what I already feel / see, and it's nice hearing someone talk very eloquently about the topics.

Be well. You don't have to be aware of everything happening online. Most of it is totally irrelevant to your life.

They're all just things that are "fine", designed to fill a void. I've seen a mass produced framed blurred picture of a beach as home decor for sale. Sure, AI generate that instead. It makes no difference.
It's not how I personally interact with media / art, but it's clearly how a lot of people do.

So much mass produced media may as well be AI generated, because the intent was to produce maximum result with minimal cost to begin with. The whole point of people jumping on bandwagons, making asset flips etc. is to try to generate maximum return with minimal investment. AI makes that easier.

What's "best" changes per person. Not everyone is working by the same definition of good.

Yeah this is a totally garbage argument. He's not deciding to take ear time away from other people. He's a person doing a thing and people are deciding to listen to it.

Bouldering is pretty fun. Would recommend. Lots of puzzle solving. :)

I had a career once, I think... now I'm just making random stuff, and maybe one day I'll turn it into a career again, or something.
