Rebuilding my art feed on BlueSky is making me want to get back into drawing after putting it down so long. I miss having the free time to just sit down and let my mind slip into artworks.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I too deal with similar with my home server. Corporate AI scrapers will steal everything by force, launder the data through LLMs, and bury your server's bandwith only to sell what they stole repackaged as incoherent slop. It's utter insanity how this unregulated tech has been allowed to operate.

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

A VPN is not a tool for anonymity, and while it can protect your location from some companies, there are many other ways companies may track you. ssd.eff.org/module/choo...

*turns 30* Can I have a refund. I would like my time and energy back, thanks. But seriously life has not given me a break in a long ass time to just stop and enjoy things. Still chugging along though

The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file. The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems. AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

it’s all i’ve got

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Generally it's a good idea to *not* give corporations subscription money to destroy the gaming ecosystem and lay off thousands. Plus, they will always want more and give you less. It's a zero-sum game and you will always lose.

this is still funny as fuck actually

Ben is right, if you been let go like a lot of us it’s not because of you or what you think you did or didn’t do it’s always down to people outside of the work dealing with spreadsheets and zero clue of the impact of there choices only hoping numbers going up. You’re cool your skills are amazing.

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces. AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse. This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

For anyone wondering what's happening with Better Questing mod dev and where I've been, some life things blew up in the worst ways in late March and I'm only now getting back on my feet. Eventually I'll get back to posting regular dev updates but for now life takes priority.

Oh my god, Copilot is allowed to create and fix issues on Microsoft github repos and it goes exactly as you'd have imagined. Try going into any of these PRs commits to see poor Microsoft engineers try to coerce Copilot into doing literally anything right. www.reddit.com/r/Experience...

Shut the front door, people are mixing model trains with Warhammer sets now. that's two levels of middle aged nerd building in one creative combo.

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it. moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards. that's it. Have fun! onemillionchessboards.com

Hahaha who could have possibly predicted this apart from everyone with the slightest understanding of how this stupidity worked

*incoherent screaming* Because god forbid we have a platform that hasn't been completely enshittified. Going to start looking into self hosted options to migrate everything over to.

"Those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration *is* making the game, it’s a crucial everyday part of game development (and human interaction) and is not a problem to be solved.”

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

last week at gdc, snail games debuted an AI-generated trailer for a new ark: survival evolved DLC, a decision that left fans baffled and enraged. now everyone even tangentially involved is claiming they had no say in the matter, and the marketing team allegedly responsible isn't talking

A lot of people in the Souls community have had their discord account hacked today due to the "Can you test this game me and my friends are working on?" social engineering attack. Some large content creators included. Please don't fall for it, too.

Found some perfect street art!

There's so much AI slop on the Ink Console website... You might think I shouldn't judge the entire thing by an AI picture, but where do you draw the line? Is the text AI generated too? Is there actually ANY human effort put into this? They claim it's only the covers, but the promo shots are AI too

Artists need to let this sink in: The thousands of followers who insist you stay there are actively hurting you at this point. You deserve a better audience who understands your rights and concerns. The sooner you rebuild, the easier it gets.

Idea: use game engines that don't fire "undisclosed amounts of people" every year.

The never-ending cycle of ChatGPT is: 1. Someone writes a post how it's bad a A THING 2. AI bros cry "it's not designed to do THAT THING" 3. OpenAI sees it and patches up only this ONE THING 4. AI bros claim "The new o3-4beta7 can do this you idiot" 4. It's still bad at everything else 5. GOTO 1.

Just learned that both 1.21.1 and 1.21.4 versions of Ore Excavation I just release have had code signing failures. FML. Should have a fix out shortly.

For those who haven't seen it yet, there are Ore Excavation updates out on Curse Forge for Minecraft versions 1.21.1 and 1.21.4.

For anyone curious, yes the loot chest development I've been doing for 1.20 works just fine in 1.21. The BQ4 framework is built to be version agnostic with only minor bootstrapping required to support new Minecraft releases.

The upcoming BQ4 loot chest now supports bulk opening. With all the opening animations and artwork done, all that's left to do is hooking it up to the quest system for pack developers to use. Fun Fact: Despite hundreds of test rolls, I still haven't pulled a natural UNIQUE card.

Finally got around to making some textures for the WIP loot chest. Took some inspiration from various Minecraft Dungeon's chests and put my own spin on what they'd look like as a shulker box. Quite happy with the results.
