This customer concentration is a big problem for OpenAI and Anthropic, with the 80% of their revenues coming from 1% of customers — most of those being, themselves, unprofitable AI startups subsidizing their users' token spend. Without VC, it all tanks. www.wheresyoured.at/dead-money/
And that’s absolutely what’s happening, suggesting that the “AI boom” is more like five or six large companies (hyperscalers) feeding money to two companies (NVIDIA and Broadcom) so that they can feed money to two companies (Anthropic and OpenAI) who then feed that money back to them whenever capacity comes online. I estimate that there’s around $22 billion of global, non-Anthropic/OpenAI compute demand, and an indeterminately-large chunk of that is coming from AI startups that can only afford to pay for the compute as long as venture capital continues to fund them…

so I started creating a little Czech village building simulator over the weekend. I drew a bunch of little houses and then created some procedural variants, and it made me dive into it for a whole weekend. #indiedev #gamedev

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.

I keep seeing AI described as a massive shift in the nature of humanity and our understanding of consciousness But when I look at how good these new models are at hacking, I think oh we've basically just built the computer equivalent of the machine gun.

Ignoring it and not giving it far too much extra exposure is a valid strategy. The bros need outrage and clicks to be part of its narrative of it being everywhere. Jumping on every bloody post like it’s the end times helps the tech not you or artists. Engage with the real art not the fake crap.

Been rewatching the old Blade Runner movie, can't stop thinking about one thing: they spot androids with an elaborate Voight-Kampf test, but the androids clearly show they can reach into super hot/cold water and be fine. so why is the test not just that? they could save a lot of trouble #bladerunner

this is one case where “indie” is still meaningful: AAA gets reasonable grownup treatment, while indies have to pray some artistic freedom “trickles down” to us

an underrated game dev skill IMO is being able to realize “this person and I have been discussing (thing) for months, and yet i think we have slightly different versions of (thing) in our heads. let’s get together and talk about that in excruciating detail”

Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay
No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

When we started developing We Grew Up in War, we hoped the war in Ukraine will be over well before we finish. Our game is dedicated to all those, whose lives were affected by the war that now enters its fourth year, instigated by the cruel Russian regime.

I think most game dev teams underestimate how damaging slow workflows are to the ultimate quality of their game. If it takes 5 minutes to launch the game and see your changes, I think your game is going to be MUCH worse than the alternate timeline where it took 1 minute
