    > Very few people actually "think". Unknowable. And a callous notion.

    - As models get better, have you considered some kind of filter or particular cadence to serve as a reminder that the user is not talking to a human? - The videos felt scripted and…

    I think there is a meaningful distinction to be made between a human reading and an AI company consuming data without consent in order to train their models. Certainly if enough pe…

    I adore your games. Would be curious to know your thoughts about using AI for game development. Personally I find it gross, but I am trying to be open to different views.

    A reasonable compromise in the face of frostbite and hookworm. I suppose critical thinking skills are also as bad, making you question the state of the world. Problem solving is an…

    It's impressive that Fable 5 was able to resynthesise something like this from its training data, but I am really not looking forward to more of this. What's the point?

    My point of view is that code is the experience. Dealing with the constraints of code is one of the ways game design evolves as one iterates over what could be cool and filter for …

    LLMs are not beings with thoughts or feelings, and if being mean to them were to somehow yield better results it would be no different than a cheat code in a game, or just constitu…

    The comparison fails because I don't send numbers to my potatoes either, but I do send thousands to calculators without a please and thank you. Practicing communications skills wit…

    The similarity to human interaction is irrelevant. No one apologises to a potato being peeled, nor compliments it for doing a great job being mashed.

    The two states are in no way in opposition to each other. In fact, experiencing deep meditation can improve one's ability to get into that desired productive flow.

    Seems well-designed. Great job! Sorry you didn't hear back from the comittee.

    The interesting bit about this physical experiment is that the water in the cup never starts at 100 celsius. That the act of pouring significantly reduces temperature is well-docum…

    They're entertainment, yes, but really not the same. I'll look for a specific game to play, I'll look for a specific movie to watch, and I won't play a game when I want to watch a …

    Really think it’s entirely wrong to label someone as a bully for not conforming to current, perhaps bad, practices.

    I use rust for gamedev (not bevy). I'm unlikely to consider anything else exactly because of stability and throughput.

    Just as a thought experiment: Governments could mandate banks to prevent their customers from spending beyond what'll go to rent/mortgage. It'd certainly prevent overdue or missed …

    - Mad Max is not a great example of anarchy, as the last couple of movies featured a government led by an autocrat (haven't seen the other ones) - The Play Store being bad does not…

    Maybe it's not a great idea to allow a company to decide what software users can run, and I am inclined to believe that Murphy's Law will apply. Ultimately, software is freedom of …

    Interesting tool. I do something similar when I think it's important to focus on just getting the words out: I close my eyes, or look away from the screen.

    AI is already tricking people -- images, text, video, voice. As these tools become more advanced, so does the cost of verification.

    Based on your workflow, I think there is considerable risk of you being wooed by AI into believing what you are doing is worthwhile. The plan AI offers is coherent, specific, it so…

    I think most programmers would agree that thinking represents the majority of our time. Writing code is no different than writing down your thoughts, and that process in itself can…

    It's pretty fun, but not in any way part of the survivor-genre.
