you let a/i vibecode your shit and then you won't be able to figure out how to fix any bugs properly. use your own code. know your game inside and out. build it brick by brick instead of killing the earth for your idea to be made out of rice paper and have more holes than swiss cheese

The video comments are full of AI chuds punching the air. It's really funny how you guys kicked the hornets nest of losers with this very level headed video. Also for conveniences sake, there are people like @wumpagem making lists of vibe code free ports. backloggd.com/u/WumpaGem/l...

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

The UK government refuses to release the register of interests of the Prime Minister's main adviser on AI, depsite her being an ex-OpenAI exec. There is obviously a possibility she owns OpenAI shares, and it is vital the public knows whether or not she does. Why will they not release it?

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.

If you're mad about Playstation dropping physical games in 2028, then your best bet is to boycott GTA6. The most expensive AAA game ever drastically underselling due to a lack of a physical disk is the level of message that would be needed to get Sony to change their digital-only plans.

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. 

We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.

A mistake people often make is assuming that highlighting the downsides of AI means you’re anti-tech. I am hugely pro-tech, but I think generative AI, on the path it’s currently on, will be net negative. I think many feel the same. Opposing AI boosterism ≠ being anti-tech.
