Epic's new developer assistant for unreal engine refuses to tell you if it's AI. Because telling you it's AI would be bad. Merely knowing it's AI, but not knowing what model it's based on, its training provenance or where it gets its information - that's fine.
This isn't the future of gamedev.

every time i see this in my sidebar i unfollow the streamer. doesn't matter who it is.
paying for twitch turbo to remove ads means that i should get no ads.
i like being able to support streamers with turbo. but if i get ads anyway. then i may as well just cancel turbo and use adblock, right?

we lost twitch a few years ago to branded content. the advertising push, then partner managers disappeared, then sponsored streams started getting promoted in the sidebar, then push notifications for ads.
there's more. but twitch is now a dedicated vehicle for it.

Before now, only some of the names on this list were feckless, dollar worshipping, toadying fucks you wouldn't expect anything better from, and who spent their entire careers being useful idiots.
But hey, if you're doing research on spineless amoral turds in comedy, they just saved you some time.

Thanks everyone for a great gamedev stream today at twitch.tv/finisfine where we did more backend stuff for Unreal's PCG. OUR decals are procedural, how about yours? 😏
Before we raided @sciantsmedia.com, we got raids from @fitforpurpose.tv, thatmanrobin and @the.averagegoob.com!

things to note:
- Gameplay Ability System settings are slowly moving from C++ to both project settings and blueprint exposure.
- Substrate materials are now out of experimental and into beta. Unreal shaders are closer to BSDF in substrate.
- RT bloom looks insane.

it worked, by the way. this upgrade is fussy about assets linked to uninstalled plugins. i had to clear out unrecognised asset types.
i have no idea what happened to make it look like everything is wrapped in clingfilm though.

here's a big line of procedurally generated books on a spline ironically made using PCG grammars in unreal. if you want to find out how i did this, google it.
or come here and ask: twitch.tv/finisfine
google is more reliable though, even if they do break search results for ad engagement purposes.
