I’m really trying to understand why I keep seeing this take online, because it makes no sense to me.

In my mind, music/books/games are all forms of communication. A novel is essentially a fictional universe that gets transmitted from the author to me. That’s what makes it interesting/meaningful.

"In the future, when someone wants to play a video game or listen to a song, AI will generate brand new media for them, tailored to their exact interests."

Does this actually appeal to you? Like, would you want to listen to a song that is essentially a random composite of all your favourite songs?

Artificial intelligence tools for programmers all seem to get this wrong. Most (all?) of them are focused on helping us write code faster. What I want is to better understand code, like having an expert human teacher help you understand how something works.

I really appreciate more as I get older the people who talk about the things they find interesting or new and enjoying and just highlighting thing and not spending there life shitting over what they find mildly annoying. Your Not gonna like everything but talking about what you do is just cool.

Earlier this year, we noticed our inventory was a bit short—like 2,000 Playdates short 🤔

Take a ride with us in Magnum P.I.’s cool car!

Love the vibe of GodotCon in Berlin. It’s so cozy and everyone is open to share and discuss any topics. It somehow reminds me the feeling of phpbb forums from 2000s

Great talk by @migueldeicaza.bsky.social about using SwiftGodot on iPad. Amazing work of bringing together two beautiful worlds of Apple design and Godot #godotcon
