Exodus is out on Steam, buy now for 2$

I one shotted this using Fable before they took it away. When they bring it back it's so over.

I have seen entire mobile apps take less effort than an average game _menu_.

While we are doing lobbying for AI laws, I propose this. All providers of closed source models are 100% liable for their outputs. Copyright, libel, conspiracy, fraud, etc... If you want safe harbor from this liability, release the weights. This is real AI safety legislation.

The ammount of antisemitic responses, using broken logic, are insane.

Generative AI is just a giant billboard that says “I didn’t care about making the thing, but I still expect you to engage with it. I bet you can’t even tell, you idiot. Fuck you.” I’ve never felt more deeply committed to making handmade things than I do now. ✏️

The SURPRISE is: x.com/SinkingStarGame/status… Order of the Sinking Star will have a free demo on Steam, for NextFest, Monday. Because the game is HUGE, the demo is huge: it's bigger than most entire paid puzzle games, and you get to try it out for free.

I have to push back on 2 things as i think one is categorically incorrect and the other is demonstrably incorrect. 1. Debugging: Debugging is not a thing if coding is solved. You would produce correct behaviors. I don't understand how a solved problem could produce erroneous behavior. 2. Coding is the easy part: setting hardware, capacity, talking to users, product planning agreed is in fact hard, but so is coding. Example: If coding was in fact not hard then Claude Code having a flickering issue for well over 9 months, which is a purely software challenge, would have been solved almost immediately (immediately being on a shortened time scale comparatively to a human solve time scale). For more trivial applications software approximation can largely work. I also love software approximation for exploring how things should feel.

The AI Psychosis in Twitter is pronounced, even from those thinking they're reasonable. None of this matches with my experience; bad quality code, bad PR's, the hallucinations, the inordinate amount of time spent for sub-par to bad results. I need a break, see y'all in a month.

There is no demand for huge quantities of slop. More commits / LOC / PRs does not equate to more valuable productivity. Users want fewer, but better, programs.

IMO 90% of the “demand” for software is artificially propped up by changing / breaking things that should be stable and reliable. Constant unnecessary updates to everything are killing our industry and have huge negative externalities in the rest of society.

AI slop, no matter how visually gaudy, is so dull and unengaging to watch. The imagery, performances, and voices always seem obviously artificial no matter how much the tech supposedly advances. Make real art.

Is Satya Nadella the worst human being alive?

Good for him, he was 10 billion X-ing I'm sure he got a promotion.

Java was always the most problematic language I ever had to deal with for shipped apps. Even external apps like Informatica head awful memory leaks.

I don’t see how handmade everything doesn’t come sweeping back in a huge tsunami. Everything: films, music, games, art. All of it is going to be heavily human (and so obvious, and marketed that way). I’m feeling a deep craving for all of this. Maybe I’m getting old, or I’m feeling a desire everyone else is feeling.

Honestly why stop at 100x engineer? Just use more agents, you literally could be 1000x, 10000x, 100000x just by scaling You could what you use to in an entire year in one second

They only retire the AI when there's a collision with reality. It happens in Starbacks where people need to get actual real coffee. It doesn't happen in enterprise B2B SaaS businesses who streamline processes.

this hasn't been true since 2008, AI is just the first time that executives doing commencement speeches have stopped saying "work hard and you'll get rewarded" and changed to "this software that I don't really understand will take your job, but don't worry, I'm rich!"

The Nakba narrative is one of the most successful obfuscation campaigns in modern history: It’s like Russia crying about the consequences of invading Ukraine, or the Nazis complaining about the cost of losing WW1. Aggressor reframing consequences as victimhood. Arab leaders rejected the 1947 UN Partition Plan, chose war to prevent Israel’s birth, lost, and then rebranded the consequences of that failed war as pure victimhood. A real human tragedy was transformed into a permanent indictment of Israel’s existence. Seeing the Mayor of New York import this rhetoric into official civic language is deeply unsettling & worrying.

We're still paying today for the big tech consensus that we should build our entire infrastructure on top of a poorly defined XML format. Yet people still consider them an authority regarding LLM deployment.
