What happens once all the code is written for you? What happens in 10 years when new devs come along and old folks retire? It's not just institutional knowledge disappearing, but all deep knowledge of programming.

I just went to an event hosted by Adobe last night and they were talking about how all their AI-backed tools were great for “ideas”, “mood boards”, “prototyping“. It was such a joke. AI tools are so easily able to undercut your small designer/studios. these folks are cooked. :(

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

They need to use this song in the Dungeon Crawler Carl TV series. It would be a lovely discordant needle drop during an action scene (also just a good song). www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzXn...

Online enthusiast perception of certain games tends to not correlate strongly to sales potential or performance. It's just part of that huge gap where the 15-20% or so of the gaming audience that is the most engaged and invested is massively overrepresented in online conversation. Is what it is.

Can someone like Te Papa please release some moa art into the public domain so the media can use it instead of Colossal’s awful (probably-AI-generated) reconstructions?

Colossal moa art where the legs seem to be grafted on from a different, larger species of moa.

Small moa skeleton showing the right leg to neck proportions. It’s not hard, there’s no shortage of reference material on the internet.

Corporate leadership are really fickle aren't they. Absolutely no spine to invest strongly in something and so quick to retreat when it doesn't make a gazillion dollars immediately. No wonder none of these 'initiatives' pan out. :(

Earlier this year, we set up a special room in our office where people could sneak preview Big Walk with their friends. Almost 1,000 people came by. We wanted the experience to be special. In my last video, I showed you the room's intro. Now, here's the big finale. It was pure joy — like Big Walk.
