The guy doesn’t even know how to read. I think he’s ignorant and rock stupid but has a number of smarter people telling him what to do and think

I am a programmer and I do not use AI, I’m going to school with some programmers who also do not use AI (some do some don’t). I don’t need luck to find like minded people.

I’m working towards starting my own indie studio. Games are made for people to experience people emotions and it takes a person to be able to understand them in a way that can be accurately conveyed. When I make my studio there will be no generative AI, not in the product not in development. Probably there is a way to use it to streamline some stuff and I’d argue it’s difficult but possible to use it ethically but why the fuck would I want a computer to do my art for me? Why would I want to rob myself or my team of the opportunity to express themselves to other humans?

I made an AI generated cupcake recipe a while back. It was fine, it covered the bases, ratios were more or less correct, if someone were to give me one I’d eat it and not complain. But it was a technically correct cupcake not a good cupcake. It had no love, you could tell it had no love. People joke about that but it’s a real thing there’s something extra humans can do that AI can’t yet and maybe never will be able to, or not in a way humans relate with well. We’ve known how to make games with no love for a while now, that’s capitalism, but AI let’s us freeze dry the love out of everything at scale and the companies behind them are telling us that’s a good thing. Fuck that I’m not buying into it. I don’t make games for money, I barely make games for other people, tbh it isn’t even that fun most the time, I make games because it’s what makes the most sense to me for self expression. Games are what I know how to pour the most love into and an AI won’t help me with that.

YappyMonotheist what the fuck are you talking about?

I feel like that would almost immediately kick off a civil war. Maybe that’s what’s needed but I’d like to believe there’s at least a couple more options left to try first

That’s why anything I’m giving away I just put it outside and say first person to show up gets to keep it. It either gets sent off to someone who saw it or it gets ‘stolen’, either way not my problem anymore

First the Yagrum meme now this. Lemmy be fire lately

Gonna use AI to implement blockchain, obviously

I have to use Windows 11 for my school computer, not allowed to change the OS. I didn’t realize how shit awful explorer had gotten between 10 and 11. For anyone reading this who has to use 11: there are explorer alternatives. I use OneCommander and it let me change the default explorer for shortcuts and when other programs bring things up like with “show in folder” options. I don’t have to use windows explorer anymore and while it’s no Linux at least it doesn’t have fucking copilot and it gives me back basic control

I’ve been losing my mind seeing the flood of terrible events going on but I finally made it to here. I love your posts they’re one of the highlights of Lemmy, a beacon of joy, thank you as always

It’s possible but imo unlikely. I know its very different in a lot of ways but Starbucks at least will close a location to “save money” practically day of a successful unionizing vote. A union gets harder to squash the longer they’re around, and more likely to spread to other locations, so companies get pretty trigger happy about shuttering places.

I’m moving from a “not bottom of the ladder but pretty damn low” test automation position to the game industry and I’m expecting to make half as much

Have you never gotten mail you don’t need to save but it has sensitive info on it?

I had a partner who was convinced we were in a perpetual state of being weeks away from losing access to water. We lived in Seattle… Fear is often really illogical and it can be difficult to step away from it (Sorry if this posts twice phone is acting weird)

Well it’s just past 3am now. You getting to bed yet or cutting into your 4.5hr of sleep?

How do you mean? Talk seemed fine to me am I missing something?

I bought 96g of sodimm about six months ago for about $225 after tax. That same pack spiked to about $850 before tax and has been hovering there for a few weeks

If it does get made I hope it sinks faster than the Vasa

Depends entirely on the vote and the country/region. Generally I disagree with you for the US at least. But the fun part is we get to do both. We should use every tool we have
