Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees

On the coding front, I have seen zero/nil/nada ai usage among experienced developers. It's just too slow and wrong too often. if something is wrong say 10% of the time, you can trust it 0% of the time, which means checking and understanding everything it has done. Faster to just do it yourself.

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI.
AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

We've finally come full circle. People are longing for less chatter dialogue in their games by referencing ocarina, a game that people consistently complained about Navi being too talkative to the point of it being a meme for 20 odd years.
This is why I just recently dropped a game 😂😂😂😂
Like we don’t need banter every second silence is okay haha

Part of why there are far fewer fighting game major events (and why a lot of local events happen in donated/community spaces) is that the venue price of internet for livestreaming at convention spaces is absurd. The costs listed here are *per day* xcancel.com/kenniky1/sta...
