I am required to maximise my use of AI at work and so I do. It's good enough at simple, common stuff. Throw up a web page, write some python, munge some data in C++, all great as long as the scale is small. If I'm working on anyth

That’s disappointing. I’ll give that a miss then.

I think it’s software, despite the picture, and I think it’s their version of openclaw. Hard to tell.

I quite liked the idea of Data Breeches. USB underpants maybe. Or personal information pantaloons.

There are lots of playthroughs on YouTube, I would expect at some point you can ask it to watch them and the “generate a game like that”.

How long until this thing is good enough to clone photoshop? Or Skyrim? I think all bets are off for the software world.

I take your point, but if the re-implementation looks the same, I would say it’s a form of copying. (Which I don’t think is a problem, I don’t think you should be able to own sequences of numbers.)

If an AI can license-wash open source software like this then the licenses become meaningless. Which is fascinating. Commercial software cloning that is simple enough for an average person to drive is next and the ultimate form of piracy, s

Aseprite is absolutely worth paying for. I do game jams and it works really well.

I don’t think there is much short term danger from the cookies. It’s more the principle of the thing. I hate the bullshit language of how we and our 1500 partners respect your privacy choices. They don’t respect anything and would sell the

Similar. I want to see games made by humans who have put in the effort and taken the time to build something good. I don’t want to see the market flooded with low effort AI slop.

Well as long as they keep labelling it as AI so I can avoid buying it, we’re all good.

Having AI generate a game for you no more makes you a game dev than ordering a happy meal makes you a chef.

It's quite hard to tell what is satirical AI Ads and what is this 99helpers.com site, which is also really covered in pushy messages and trying hard to sell me something. I think the real danger from AI ads is the AI slowly convincing

I’m an expert and I find it very frustrating when I don’t find some example code front and centre. It might not reveal the detail, but it sets the scene quickly and lets me know what sort of a thing I’m dealing with.

I'll give it 6 months, if these things are still important then and have stabilised a bit then I'll take a look. AI tools are a bit frothy at the moment and you can waste a lot of time keep jumping onto the latest thing.

Everybody is going to be real disappointed when they invent AGI and it’s as smart as me.

AI really loves that purple-blue style with rounded corners. I asked chatGPT to make a few sites to see how it worked and any time I said "make the site look nicer", it did that. I wonder why.

I like the older icons so much more. I'm not in so much of a rush that I care about icons making it 2ms faster to differentiate and click the right thing. I want some character and some love in my GUI. I want different components clear

That’s a great step, now if they would just do one that respects your privacy and doesn’t track your every move, I’d buy one.

Yes, very much so. I am in favour of pushing into the future as fast as we can, so to speak, but I think ChatGPT is a temporary boost that is going to slow us in the long run.

Plus one to all that. I'm sure there are some upsides to the current wave of ML and I'm all for pushing ahead into the future, but I think the downsides of our current llm obsession far outweighs the good. Think 5-10 years from n

Anecdote from me. I’m in a video games slack channel with ~350 of my coworkers who know well what ai looks like and like video games. Everyone hates it. I’d love a permanent steam selection to hide generative ai.

The FAQ was pretty clear about not using AI to get on the leaderboard last year.

Another vote for Haskell. It’s fun and the parsing bit is easy. I do struggle with some of the 2d map style questions which are simpler in a mutable 2d array in c++. It’s sometimes hard to write throwaway code in Haskell!

There are a surprising number of ways to generate the fizzbuzz sequence. I always liked this one: fizzbuzz n = case (n^4 `mod` 15) of 1 -> show n 6 -> "fizz" 10 -> "buzz" 0 -> "fiz

I've always been a big fan of apple and have defended them in the past, but iOS 26 is a dumpster fire. There are visual corruptions and glitches all over the place and transparent text floating over transparent text. It's not even

The UK government want to get on with blocking websites and VPNs as soon as possible. 4chan was obviously not going to comply and was picked to allow ofcom to quickly move onto the next step.

I wanted to like this but it doesn’t reflect my experience in the uk or that of close family members. It seems to be some sort of burnout simulator?
