I had wanted to stream this week but I forgot I didn't backup my OBS config from my old machine last year. So... Have to rebuild that and tbqh I don't wanna 🙂‍↔️ (I will but just like... later lol)

Because vibecoded vst plugins are flooding the market with slop these days I have been collecting a list of audio developers that explicitly state on their website that their code is not generated by AI. I think it's time to share the ones I have so far in a little thread i'll keep expanding:

You can tell I fell off because there’s C++ drama afoot and I’m nowhere to be seen talking about it. I also don’t care 🥰

Anyhow I was fired last Monday and while some things are moving I’ll probably be twitch streaming this week or the next. “Code? Music?” No. I’ll be trying to do a whips only run of Elden ring’s DLC, 4 years after I streamed the whips only run of the base game.

erys is an extremely talented software developer btw. Cut its teeth on Quake Engines, learned C++ on the job, worked on the Sin 1 remaster, cares a great deal about code restoration without breaking changes AND on top of all of that is extremely competent with CMake! (and I don't say that lightly!!)

me and my partner are both unemployed and the job search is not going well. our food stamps applications have so far been denied and we need all the help we can get to get through the next month and a half. thank you. ko-fi.com/erysdren/goa... www.paypal.me/JaycieErysdren cash.app/$erysdren

Losing a week off to a bunch of horseshit that could have been avoided and I grow increasingly pissed at the situation with every step I take to unfuck things.

Personally if I had worked at id Software and was laid off like this I'd quietly leak the idtech engine source code that was never publicly released and post a bunch of torrents places and then walk away like an action movie protagonist who just set off an explosion.

The year is 2015, there is no way to report a list of errors or warnings in Rust without a bunch of convoluted horseshit involved. The year is 2026, there is still no way to report a fucking list of errors or warnings in Rust without a bunch of convoluted horseshit involved.

Best part of getting older next to the bands you like is they ALSO want to go to bed before 11PM. 🙏 “Show ends at 10” he’ll yes brother I’m so there

sitting down nasa engineers with a table full of parts and junk at 2am and saying you need to figure out how to fix outlook apollo 13 style

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

In other news, I wish I had free time to just work on this remix of a friend’s track but too many things have got me too busy to sit down and focus on it for several hours in a given day 😓

Seems the turn around time on “I have reservations about touching the amulet, but I’m going to so I can report back on how bad it truly is. My hear is pure to “I fucking love touching the amulet. I think everyone should touch the amulet!!!” is about 6 months, give or take.

RAM is 1200 dollars so we can make every woman in a video game look like they're in the half life 2 cinematic mod with the fully modeled cervix. I am told "this technology is good actually" by the dumbest people alive.

These are the 4 things AI can do well: •Clean up your email inbox (badly) •Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party •Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself •Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Vague posting a reply to a post and subsequent thread. You can rationalize your use of it however you see fit (that is, lie to yourself), but for someone who constantly talked about how important community and connections are during the cohost era, all I see is hypocrisy in action.

Once again, I see someone fall prey to the "I am very smart and could never be fooled or lied to. I personally would never be an addict. I would never fall for a grift. I would never be so foolish."

Maybe it's because of my lived experience as an alcoholic, but every time I see the excuses people make for using LLMs, I just hear the same excuses I made for why it was ok to take one more fucking sip. If you've never realized you're an addict, how would you know you are?

Admitting to paying Microsoft a monthly tithe, all so you don't have to "bother" asking someone for their help or expertise. Saying "oh well you shouldn't use these unless you understand them fully" when you've already admitted you don't know how they work because you "can't write code".

You've invented a new form of "Just write C with no linting or error checking and simply do not make mistakes". You have repeated the same mistake as every software engineer that ever came before you and you can say you aren't one, but you are *now* big dawg.

I'm sure you could regale me of every time you've tried to depend on anyone to help you, how they let you down in the end, you've had to get to where you are by yourself, etc. None of that matters because you've come up with yet another excuse to not fully trust another person ever again.

i for one can safely touch the cursed amulet. it doesn't affect me, i have no mortal ambitions within myself to become corrupted by. in fact i find the power it confers very useful. i'm enjoying touching the amulet more & more as its influence waxes! it used to make me feel insane but now i love it

I created a big anonymous survey for sound designers / musicians & other audio creators. The goal is to better understand our community, how people work & connect to other audio artists. I'd really aprpeciate it if you took the time to answer it an share it around: forms.gle/u2Wr9pezJPC2...

I’m running my air conditioner in January and you pieces of shit are still using generative AI like it’s going out of style.

A wind burst in January pushed some of the world’s warmest ocean water toward South America, a phenomenon that signals a shift toward a planet-warming El Niño. https://wapo.st/4qu4PB4

Anytime some engineer tells me "but then you have to learn a new tool" to fix some utter dogshit workflow that is sucking the life out of someone I want to lobotomize myself. Damn dude that sucks that you'll have to do your job! GOD FORBID YOU EXPERIENCE NEW THINGS AND THAT THINGS CHANGE.

Sunk cost fallacy as an argument. "But we spent 2 years migrating to this" OK? HOW AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PAST DECISIONS YOU ABSOLUTE RUBE "but we invested time into this" DAMN SHAME THAT EVERYTHING WE DO IN LIFE IS A ROLL OF THE FUCKING DICE YOU GODDAMN IGNORANT FUCKWIT!!

Fucker, you're gonna tell me you want to hand maintain two separate IDE project files that can't even be used to upgrade if a new version goes out instead of shoving build artifacts into a zip file and calling it a fucking day? You're telling me your path is the easier path? EAT A PANT (singular)
