Sounds like a marketing stunt. If true, they should pay for damages. Rules don’t stop counting because your kid did something illegal instead of you.

When we going to start seeing bulleted lists for dating history?

Great to see disclosures of this technology. I think as time goes on, we’ll want to see further degrees of disclosure. AI art shipped as production quality is a misstep for me. However, AI written code feels worth alerting players & consumers about. They are different degrees of concern, environmental impact, and I suspect that we’ll see AI code to become more standardized whereas games with AI art lacking human oversight will continue to receive more negative ratings than the average.


I’m very worried about the captured market being developed. AI chatbots are a surface level, consumer product to get some revenue. AI integrated into an IDE & coding pipeline is a different beast, and it’s creating a faster development pace beholden to token/credit payments. Do you want to develop a feature now or in 6 months?
Things are not that simple. AI code inherits the same issues of LLMs (regression to mean). Certain things, such as single player video games, can be an absolute slopfest with code / security. Other industries with more restrictions (health data), more real world outcomes (finance, legal) will run into major issues. Those stories have been bubbling up & they are getting more prominent.
The taste of “code but faster” speaks to the capitalist class to be maximalist. We get this engine where C level is investing in AI, having their mind blown, while people close to code see the gaps that exist still. C level spurs on “use this more!” which in turn benefits their portfolios making bets on “more people will use this.” Meanwhile, codebases degrade, and a new generation, who was told “a CS degree is super safe”, have had the rug pulled from them.
I know many engineers/professional developers now who feel “ungrounded”, “lost at sea”, “unclear” of what happens next. We see great potential, RIGHT NOW, because this is likely the lowest cost for these services. All of this will ramp up, either in monthly cost, token cost, rate limiting. In a year, I wouldn’t be surprised if Claude code’s monthly cost has tripled, or there’s more tiers with less availability.
OpenSeek, OpenClaw, etc., have promise for us not terminating in some (further) capitalistic hellscape.
I felt really good at knowing what will happen in 2-3 years within tech, after 14 years of doing this. I’m really, really concerned right now, but I’m also trying to use the tools while they are cheap. Maybe I can make some of my dream games before we all explode. I dunno. 🤷


“Not sure why” = American propaganda against “communism”


Yeah, I don’t get how JD internalizes the Pope. For a Catholic, the Pope is supposed to be a/The voice of God. Looks like JD got no reverence for what God is trying to communicate.
Really funny to see a man dedicate his life to these values just to see him say, “God, can you not give me guidance right now? I’m doing war stuff.”

Thank you for writing and making content.
In this era, I feel like I’m in the Good Place: it’s impossible to make “good” ethical choices while engaging with modern world. Every day, some platform or artist is found supporting blood money, genocide, unfair labor, treats other artist/collaborators like shit, exploitation… Then we all have to pivot to some obscure alternative with its own issues, lest we be immoral internet users.
I’m so tired of all this shit… /rant
I played maybe 15 games. I won one in 99th percentile and lost one in like 40th.
You main visual is the market line, but I would make the main visual the competing lines of you vs couch, whether that’s bars or also graphed on the market. Otherwise, you’re sort of burying the mental image you want people to take away.
There’s also times where the market went completely south, so I did nothing, and got the “enlightened” position.
It’s a neat micro-game, but it comes off as preachy. Maybe that’s your intent, but being preachy can really turn people off. That maybe not your intent.
