I know hopefully at least most of us hate the AI plagiarism machine But if you freeboot other people's older videos on Youtube and title them "AI could never do this!" to get easy clicks, especially in shorts where that behavior is rampant, you are probably just as bad

(And yes I did recently repost something that used this sort of descriptor, I'm aware. The reason I say "probably" and specify on Youtube, where people often just take from other people's vids on the platform anyway, is because context still matters)

Honestly, I'm not terribly shocked at the direction Uchikoshi seems to be headed regarding GenAI, given a couple particular tone deaf plotlines the terribly weak 3rd AiTSF game had. But it's still sad to see. Especially given how proud Too Kyo seemed to be of its ambition coming before AI takeover.

Bro what the actual fuck? Dude...RIP

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Perhaps the most asinine thing about this is acting like games are somehow a black box Like it doesn't matter lol people can dig into the code and find shit, the disclosure just makes it easier to tell And many people don't need clarification, they'll just not buy if it fails a vibe check

That last part is unfortunate because people will avoid legit work because of a hunch. But it kind of only serves to highlight that A: this tech by and large sucks ass, and B: why transparency is so valuable.

They don't say shit like this if they don't feel like their bottom line is threatened. Don't let them convince you otherwise

I don't use British spellings of things too often, but there are a few things I make exception for. 1, "grey" is a cooler spelling than "gray". 2, "mould" is what I use for the shape of something, "mold" is the fungus. This is strictly a for me thing but those words feel they should be different

Speaking as someone who knows a fuckton of bullshit "Knowing ball" is a bit of an overvalued concept in society. Knowledge is, by and large, easy to obtain and not do anything with. It feels more like a bare minimum, baseline thing to have than something to truly celebrate for the sake of it

Combining knowledge with wisdom and deft application of it, gaining an elevated understanding of the world and the why and how, that's what knowledge is best for.

It's hardly my favorite record of theirs but man I take comfort in MONO's release of Snowdrop this year for sounding largely like what they usually do (despite Steve Albini no longer being around to produce their stuff), because man so many 2026 albums I've heard just kinda suuuuck

As someone who listens to noise and even death and black metal that purposefully is compressed to hell, even this is fuckin awful production to my ears, it sounds like a shitpost but without the sorts of obvious irony that successful troll music has

I like sweet iced tea but man it's like impossible to get at a drink fountain without having to water it down by like a 1:2 ratio Like damn they make this stuff more sugary than soda

Baby’s first industry gig, 2007-2008 These were for BioWare’s brief foray into handheld market with Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Every level was meticulously hand painted.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Look all I'm saying is I think that guy who used 4 as his security code made the classic blunder of forgetting to add Kurt Angle to the mix

I'm sorry to say, but if you sincerely think that genAI makes you a "better coder" or "more productive", maybe you're just a shit programmer to begin with. I might not be able to produce 1000 LoC/s, but my code fucking does what it's supposed to and is properly tailored to the project at hand.
