In the same day Epic announced a complete overhaul of anticheat on Linux and a buggy launcher that they claim is vibe coded. aftermath.site/epic-anticheat...

I actually can't fathom the fact that they fired so many people and then put "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher" on their own damn website

new Epic Games Launcher in preview - "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look." store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

Didn't expect the CNN Burlington shout

For travelers, Burlington, Vermont, presents a chance for an urban escape that still offers easy access to nature and a small-town experience. Tapping into the small-city spirit is a great way to kick off a visit to the close-knit community, where civic engagement runs deep. https://cnn.it/4w75s6l

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (2002) how the did they get the water to look like that, this is incredible I don't mean the reflections, look at the shape of the wave as it moves, the lighting, the glow.. This and the game loop are **amazing** and needs to be studied This is lost technology oh my god

I've noticed that I've become a bit hesitant to show the games & tools I'm working on. I'm often afraid that they will be stolen (especially because of AI), or that a cheap copy will appear before I've been able to finish them. Does anyone else share this feeling?

Thought it'd be a fun idea to make a Pokemon team based on my game dev history! Each Pokemon represents a game I've worked on.

End of an era, and a scary future that this implies...

Played in my first riftbound RQ in hartford this weekend! Barely missed prizing (top 128 lol) but I had a couple big wins (including housesarebig in day 2!) and think i generally played really well, basically had just 2 meaningful mistakes in the tournament i think

You actually can stop your boss from demanding you use it. My union contract says that my employer can't force workers to substitute AI for professional judgement and we have the right to bargain over impacts of any new technology roll-out.

Love it or hate it, AI has been embraced by corporate America. You might not be able to stop your boss from demanding that you use it, but you can try to understand its promise and its limitations. As we like to say here at WIRED: AI or Die Trying!

NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani says the Warner Bros & Paramount merger should be stopped "Thousands of jobs at risk here in the city. Streaming bills going up as competition disappears. And two of America’s most powerful media companies under one roof, deciding what you watch and what you hear"
