Trick question: all AI leaders are secretly AI generated. So are 30% of the surveyees. So is that rock over there. Welcome to the future. The only real thing we have left is Will Smith but nobody believes he's real. And the goblins are behind it all. They want us to forget seahorses ever existed.

I find that if it's so simple as that, someone else's probably done it before. You can save compute by locating that person and stealing the file off his computer. The neat part is it works, assuming the other person didn't vibe code it.

I just don't get why you would 'ask AI for help' when there an entire world of experienced humans out there who you can connect with over your project struggles, like why would you not take that opportunity to make some new friends or join a community? Are we not in a 'loneliness epidemic'?

The Sphere stays in Las Vegas. Planes move around, more use in tracking them. And often they're full of cool stuff.

Hey, For anyone using the #terminal this command here, TL;DR: formulae.brew.sh/formula/tlrc is a must have for easy to read man pages. Like, you don't have to read the difficult obscure [bracket-texts] if you don't want to.

The IDE issue can be solved by switching to Vim for everything. And then you don't even need to stream or play games because all will be Vim and Vim will be all.

I hope this is making sense. this is the reason why, as much as I hate AI, the "it's over... this is just it, now, this is the future... it's going to be like this forever, we better just cope..." just isn't grounded in reality and is very clearly informed by techbro propaganda. Don't buy it

vile botspawn but technically the smallest semantic unit that an LLM operates on; splitting up the text according to a learned distribution instead of words or syllables that are then converted to embedding vectors and processed.

Like, a tricky to hit enemy can have a tangled pattern, and healing a complex shape on yourself is the same as a bad wound, and larger grids are stronger enemies, and it maps mentally even better than just (shaping the grid like the monster’s body)

Made an NPC debug panel that shows live-rendered thumbnails of every NPC, their current states, and lets me double-click to teleport straight to them. Makes debugging the game progression a lot easier!

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞
