My passion doesn't lie in coding but I find a real thrill in working out a solution to an interesting problem, even (especially?) when I could just look up how it's already been solved. I reject the idea of that work being superfluous, not because it's Good For You (tho it is) but because it's fun

And even looking up an existing solution and implementing it yourself is a form of discovery, and can be immensely satisfying

And when you're in the habit of Solving the Damn Thing Yourself, you create new problems for which no answer is readily available, and then try to solve them. When you succeed, you've expanded the possibility space, and (maybe) done something new. When you fail, you've had a little adventure

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

In both writing and drawing, the struggle of capturing an idea on paper (or screen, or whatever) and how that struggle *changes* the idea is the art. Ideas are easy, the final work is an artefact. The struggle is the art.

"No practical high ground" is a strange thing to be certain of when there are studies showing links between LLM usage and cognitive decline

My theory of why AI sandwiches look particularly horrible: our animal brains are trained to notice if something looks "off" with food (especially meat) and since AI can't get it quite right these images trigger something deeply alarming

Caveat: I have no idea if this is true

Unless we're just talking AAA: there are far more games than movies or TV shows. Even though most are bad, there is still a surplus of "good" games, most of which are either ignored or never discovered. If you took away the 10 "best" games of the year you could find 10 more that are just as good.

This is great. Aside from the externalities/ethical issues of AI, we're only just starting to find out what it does to brains and it doesn't look good

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)

Don't like my chances but is there like a good meaty history of 3D modelling production processes anyone knows about? Something like 'here's how they did it in Battlezone and then here's how they did it in Mario 64 and here's how you do it on a 2026 triple-a game'.
