The Pope tweeted something like "we have to think about morality and ethics with these new technologies" and then Musk and Marc Andressen tried to dunk on him, and now everybody (even in tech) is dunking on Musk and Andressen.

Cookie’s rescue fell through, so I would love if he and Houdini could get adopted together, but they would also do just fine each going to a home that already has a cat or cat-friendly dog! Cookie is my sweet sensitive boy, the roundest kitten, and very soft. Fostered in Los Angeles!

AI agents struggle to interface with game engines as there are compounding complexities. This is a problem that to my knowledge has not been solved yet for even the major engines, much less proprietary engines.

I imagined trying to get through bug reports written by an LLM and immediately got an honest to god headache. What do you mean I can’t even go back to the person who wrote it and ask for more details because there isn’t one, but it can still make shit up?

It’s also just fundamentally a stupid idea because LLMs aren’t capable of emulating player behavior and instincts anyway because it’s closer to spellcheck than true AI

I contracted on a game that fundamentally changed what it was trying to be every six months because the CD had played a new game over the weekend. They worked on that doomed project for ever seven years before someone finally pulled the plug

No tool—AI or otherwise—can speed up game development if leaders don't rise to the occasion.

In case you'd like to do it yourself, here's the node setup for object-stable screenspace UVs I'm using
The original is by @jankaluza.bsky.social, and I've changed it to add a fixed radius and set it up as a Material Function on my end
Should work in any version of Unreal 4/5
