At work, they are warning us about Microsoft's new data limit and deleting emails before it's "too late" so we don't run out of space. Does this mean we don't get emails? Because if so, don't be threatening a good time unless you plan on delivering. 🤣🤣🤣

The games industry, "GenAI is coming from our jobs." Meanwhile, this is what Claude thinks a mid century sofa looks like... you're good games folks.

It’s a good description. I can still feel this reading it from the thousands of times I did it as I kid. I used to love being upside down.

I've debugged, tweaked, given myself live tuning controls - all kinds of things I'd have only been able to do with serious investment previously. This is a game changer for folks who work alone. I am excited to try it out in public.

The real world, spoilers, is a mystery. If you do hardware or embedded that integrates into a software app, don't worry for your job. You're good. That said, I got to done WEEKS ahead of my deadline. It's the weekend before the show and I don't even know what to do with myself.

Phoenix Perry @phoenixperry.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
Where it fell FLAT ON ITS FACE was with my hardware integration. It ate the curb repeatedly to the point where I jumped back in and started coding to fix stuff and I'm pretty sure this phase would have gone smoother if I'd just done it on my own. It's not ready for hardware / software integration.

Where things got really crazy is when I did the visual design. I opened Claude Design and gave it my css stylesheet and within half an hour I had a design system and a beautiful swift app from stock Apple GUI. My favorite screen it came up with was this. Love that.

Stuff like, "Add an audio unit synth here" that would have taken me god knows how long chasing apple documentation happened in one shot vibe coding. Other features I added like creating a sound editor in the game for myself and simulating player input took an evening.

As a seasoned game dev, I can tell you you're better off staying on top of any LLM until you lay down the complete higher order design architecture. It does stuff I'd *never* do. That said, once my frame was locked, I flew. I got through features faster than ever before.

Thread: 🧵 This is my first time working with Claude on a piece of art. Lesson 1. I hand coded the entire architecture while having it teach me swift. I wrote in c# and had it translate for me then I typed in all the first round of architecture. Man oh man am I glad I did. It made hilarious calls.

If you want to see my talk about Crip Design for musical interfaces from NIME2026, it's living here: www.youtube.com/live/vKWWuKH...
The start slide from this talk, Crip Design for Collaborative Musical Interfaces. There is an illustration of 3 boxes with faces on them, the bots, in three 3 hands with encircled arms of 3 players. In the center is the game's name and logo, "Bot Party."

Pretty! I made a completely private encrypted journaling app and a clone of figma jam boards as a collaborative web app that was keyed specifically to an exhibition I am designing vs a generic tool. I love we are now all making our own tools - it's such a cool time to compute. 🤓

squeezlabs.github.io/handcrank/ When people tell you ML needs huge compute, massive data collection, and wrecks the planet, explain that is not ML. That’s bad engineering, late stage capitalism, and VCs who only care about scale and selling their consumers as products.

We’ve been doggedly reporting on Palantir’s contracts with UK state…& this latest one with Met police is both creepy & opaque. Met has used Palantir to spy on its own officers. If it can do this to its own employees…what about the rest of us? By @mc00.bsky.social & @luciaoc.bsky.social

Wild idea. What if AI didn’t have to suck? How would you imagine a different way? What practical steps can you take to build that world? Feminism doesn’t always need to be critique. It can be construction.

These last few weeks I’ve been thinking about big tech AI and I keep coming back to the same thing. AI isn’t the problem. It’s the lack of social cohesiveness in society - that’s the issue. Blaming everything on the companies to fix while failing to regulate capital and tax the rich will not work.

I find it intriguing that I have been publishing about Machine Learning since 2011 and back then no one understood what I was doing and now no one STILL understands what I am doing but they have all got an opinion about it. I have been overshadowed by people who shout loudest. Hilarious.

I’m…at a loss. Do you you think LLMS generate images? 🤦Also, the main post here relegates all AI into being being unable to exist without rendering it. The same applies to film and video here. Think. Where do these systems get their data?
