There are few people left whose brains haven’t been poisoned by engaging with the world entirely through the prism of the rightwing media machine; who are still seeking and computing empirical information even if it contradicts the bizarre contortions of the MAGA ideological bubble.

The story of computing is shaped by the concepts of computational thinking, was forged in the fires of conflict and commerce, and even now is the loom that weaves and is itself woven by the tapestry of our human experience.

Preparing for the Retro Computing Festival ( Gaming Edition ) 2025 at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge next weekend. Here's a Visual Code setup that allows me to build 'Galaforce 2' from its original 6502 source code and deploy the game to an emulator on a PC. Simple, quick workflow!

Also an enormous amount of computing power; easy to forget how hard it is to walk around on two legs when you've been doing it without thinking for forty years.

I would agree, and also say that proc gen *is* a form of AI, it's just that genAI has now become interchangeable with the term and nuance has been lost despite the fact that creative computing and algorithmic art has existed for decades
A big reason proc gen feels so different to AI in spite of superficial similarities is exactly this!!
Proc Gen systems reflect the interests and creative preferences of the tool makers, whereas AI is catch-all sludge that reflects no specific point of view. It’s not remotely the same!

In case anyone ever asks, I *have* written a material generator and a music generator for Eldritch 2, but that's not AI. That's me taking all the things I personally know about those things, and writing my own tools to make the process a little faster and easier for myself. It's still 100% me, baby.
