every company using "ai" has split its workforce into two groups: those who are useless hacks and those who suddenly want to kill themselves

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

Honestly I think like 50% of the Teams 101 course is just me saying this in 30 different ways with 15 different methods of making sure everybody on your team understands that decisions are made to be executed on, not argued about further, that's the whole-ass point of it being a decision.

The original Mahjong Solitaire (Brodie Lockard, 1981) on the PLATO looked glorious. Also clever to show stack height with outline width.

not so tough, really. Just puts the game in the same pile as any of the million other clones that have no substance.

Gonna keep telling this story. I watched an hour long "How To Write An AI Novel" how to video out of curiosity and I shit you not, 60% of the video was about how to trick Claude into writing something that didn't look like it was AI. If genAI is a tool, it's core audience uses it mostly for fraud.

Thinking that Valve is not a greedy company is very naive. All it would take is Valve selling to a vc fund to fuck everyone. And gamers being so in love with valve right now is the problem. Remember on ps4 Gen? Everyone loved Sony... They are ALL CORPOS

"If it seems like a big risk to unionize, it is worth remembering that plenty of non-union members lose their jobs unfairly every year, the difference is that it happens with no scrutiny. And if you think organizing will not make a difference, it already has."

Hi, coming back up here to say that while we use Unreal Engine 5 for our as of yet unannounced game in production right now, we DO NOT stand by Epic's recent pivot towards the AI-fuelled metaverse vision for gaming. Make cool stuff, folks. We don't need slop. We're more than capable on our own.

so, Big Tim, let me get this right: - people don't want to buy games made with genAI - you want to scam them into buying it anyway - Valve lightly discourages this - you say that discouraging you and your pals from scamming people is irresponsible - you're happy to say this out loud, on the record?

omg a hit tweet I hate that this is the thing that's a hit tweet. I wish it did not exist in the first place. Layoffs for people in the trenches while the studio execs play chicken and goose and draw charts like kindergarteners with crayons. Yeah no, kids have more going into their scribbles.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Trying to gather my thoughts on this a bit. I think yeah, technical issues aside, the big issue for me with GenAI is the "concluded relationship with reality" part. I'll split this in two parts, one for art/assets/etc and the other for code et al. (1/3)

I am in no way trying to say "Oh well it's okay now," no screw that. But I don't know a single creative person who would use AI for ideas. I do however know people whose bosses would say "Use AI for ideas," and then they'd sigh and say "Uh, yeah, sure boss."

My take is, if execs want to erase the fun of the concepting phase by using AI, then maybe they need to take a moment and think about whether they actually enjoy their job anymore. There are plenty of other people who would excitedly take on the job given the opportunity.

if someone says they used AI "in pre-production" they are basically saying "we outsourced the fun part"
