AI in game engineering and software development is by no means superior to human engineers. AI companies just have bigger marketing budgets. #gamedev

If you’re playing #CallofDuty Black Ops 6, chances are, this six-fingered fellow here is greeting you in a loading screen. This is looking especially bad in the wake of voice actors quitting over lack of AI protections in their contracts. imdb.com/news/ni64997...

When you're trying to figure out how to do something in Unreal, what sources do you go to most often? 🤔 Are you learning from YouTube, the Epic forums/docs, reddit, an industry/niche site (like Tech-Artists.org), Discord, whatever sites a search engine finds, etc? What do you like about it?

Quick social media headsup from the olden days: do not subscribe to any blocklists of which you do not -absolutely- know and trust the creator. A lot of trolls will make genuine looking blocklists, and then slowly start adding good people to them. Always verify account names & handles!
