Filipe "Subtales" Rodrigues • Gloomy Juncture @subtales.studio · 25/09/2026felt this working late tonight. how can anyone go for gen AI? every pencil stroke, every line of code, every polygon is a decision, and that's how it all comes together. the idea is just the spark and usually plays a small role in the end. "you think, AI implements" is an empty-brained sales pitch 010
Filipe "Subtales" Rodrigues • Gloomy Juncture @subtales.studio · 25/09/2026totally. anyone who creates knows the idea is just the spark, in fact it usually plays a small role in the final product the whole techbro talk of "you think, AI implements" makes no sense. really empty brained sales pitch 021
