As a professional developer that's using these tools professionally and worked on multiple game engines and even written a few of my own... nope. Sorry, just, that's so much hype not grounded in anything. I'm guessing your jo

Oh god. If you really believe you can vibe code an engine in 6 months I challenge you to do it. I think you'll find you've wildly underestimated what goes into an engine.

Maybe we just need stronger drugs!

Yeah I mean, there are definitely little scripts and stuff in my codebase that I'm happy to have an AI spit out and never look at because it's not important; but those are nice wins around the margins, not a justification of the

You have to consider the market for Godot: indie developers. They don't need cutting edge features; they need a good workflow, ease of use, a good community, stability, etc. Unity is actually really annoying in this regard, because the

I think drugs are actually a great analogy. An initial feeling of "oh my god I have superhuman capabilities" followed by a hangover of "ohno I have created a mess". Especially with AI sycophancy where it's like &quo

The real problem is the philosophy that arose in the 1970s that "maximizing shareholder value" is the point of business. As a society, we've become obsessed with optimizing this one variable at the expense of all others and &

This might just be a personality trait of me, but I really like technology that's transparent enough that I can fix/modify/understand it. Opaque technology gives me an ick. It's not really a complexity thing -- Linux has

That's a really good point. I think if there wasn't the insane amount of money involved and these were treated as tools instead, they would probably be MORE productive. I think a person working hand in hand with an AI instead of d

Well considering how Claude is vibe coded, I can't say I'm really surprised by sloppiness at all. I've been moving more towards Codex and OpenCode not because the the anthropic models are bad, but because Claude seems to brea

I find the squircle jail just creates a lot of confusion for me, having distinct shapes helps a lot at a glance.

Serious programming is using as many agents and loops as possible because anthropic needs you to spend more on tokens

I'm running an M5 Max 128GB with Qwen 3.6 and unreal engine in the background and it seems to be ok for me. Quite a power drain if it's not plugged in but I haven't seen any thermal issues.

You're equating on-going expenses with new investments, which is just not the same thing. If "$2T is not as much as you think", and yet we could fund literally tens of thousands of more interesting projects with this money, t

It is someone's money -- our money. Where do you think institutional investors get their money from?

Look at what Elon Musk did to force index funds to buy SpaceX, which is money from places like retirement funds. When there's a bag to be held, it's not the oligarchs that are going to be holding it if they can help it.

I'm not usually for arguments of "this money could have been better spent elsewhere", but here's a thought experiment. Lets say instead of injecting $2 trillion and counting into a few AI companies, we instead injected $

While I don't agree with your premise at all, even if it could one shot a SaaS product (a statement so vague it's meaningless) I don't think there's much of an argument for why that's economically useful. A lot of S

If they actually think that, then.. stop working on AI? Being the first person to end the world doesn't exactly gain you anything. I guess there's a bleak humor to Altman and Musk and Amodei being forced to live out the rest of th

I mean, obviously it's not a single developer it's a large company, so I'm not sure what your math is attempting to prove there. I can spend like $8000 a month in tokens on my $200 Claude subscription without even really work

I was there for the early days of the internet, but honestly nobody needed to tell me the internet was cool. I tried it once and it was very obviously something I wanted, even with a shitty 28k modem and waiting hours on 2k/s downloads

So, I'm using AI both at work and for a personal greenfield project, and I have 20 years of pre-AI software development. Which isn't to say I'm amazing, just putting some context here of what my experience level is and the co

This is the AI booster equivalent of "well it works on my machine." Works better for me != works great for everyone. I'm amazed how much people on HN seem to think that all coding is stupidly simple web apps.

I don't see how, other than that it will make it harder for chinese labs to train their models on OpenAI/Anthropics' (which honestly I can't get that worked up about plagiarism in this space considering where they got th

Well, when the leaders of this movement go around doom-trolling for years on end this is what happens. It turns out you need to be careful what you say if you're a highly visible public figure. Amazing! Honestly, with open source model

I wish there was a security-only-updates channel for Windows in general. I basically want no new features, I just want something that doesn't change and doesn't brick on random tuesdays.
