you never have to believe a word these people say about how it's a Hard World and Hard Things Must Be Done. they get off on this shit. one thing to think Hassan being executed is justified, another entirely to do it one handed while jacking yourself off like this.

NEW: Pete Hegseth says the execution of Fort Hood killer Maj. Hassan will be public.
Hegseth: "He's going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be. And we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public..."

In case you thought "dude is the jerkoff hand gesture incarnate" wasn't a good enough reason to not buy the dude's games, get a load of this:
Blow is active on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and streaming service Twitch. His online activity includes both commentary about game development and expressing personal political opinions, including anti-vaccine rhetoric, support for the presidency of Donald Trump, and criticism of diversity, equity and inclusion programs, which has drawn criticism from other game developers.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

There's a LOT to unpack here, so forgive the thread. This guy just does not know what he's talking about on multiple fronts. First, it is in no way a decompilation.

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source.

Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update.

Here’s a thing about LLM code generation that people haven’t mentioned much, even in theory: The thought that open source projects might either close their source or make the bar for contribution significantly higher due to the onslaught of vibe-coded submissions.

This is more or less my stance; AI is a cancer that is killing an open internet and basically any form of creation because any site/forum without rules against it Will be swarmed with unsortable amounts of generic crap, regardless of quality. And AI scrapers are *also* shitting on good, free sites.

A very good read. I've always been aware of why people censor themselves so grotesquely just to appease these algorithms, and am somewhat sympathetic. (We're all subject to them, after all.) But I've also always had one singular thought whenever I see anyone do it anyway: "You fucking coward."

The GenAI epidemic spreading across retro gaming circles exposes something: Making the scenes unfriendly to queer/trans/furries by giving a pass to unpleasant people and bigots in the past has left them without the networks of creators LGBT-friendly communities have access to and self-support with.

The pattern we've been seeing for several months so far is that a new type of person has entered the scene that thinks that because AI gets them over the hurdle of getting the game running, the job is basically done. And they need nothing but a credit card and a subscription to an AI service.

Any claims you've seen about AI speeding up this "tedious" process are false when recompilation is involved. We've had multiple instances of human developers being able to get a recomp running in less than a day back when these tools were launched two years ago. A polished result takes much longer.
