I do not like Vibecode spam!
I do not want it on my Wii
I do not want it on my PC
I do not want your autotasks

I do not like your vibecode spam!

Sweeney tries to make out he's saying this in defence of the beleaguered indie devs who want to use AI, but remember that his company laid off 1000 people earlier this year before pivoting to AI.
He's taking this stance for one reason: he loves money
It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.
Ethan Klein dressing up his wife and mistress as Thing 1 and Thing 2 while he was Cat in the Hat for Halloween and knowing his wife didn't know is a level of evil that almost enters the same zip code as his wife leaving a desk job to terrorize Palestinians

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies.
A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish
It’s so rare that I’m impressed by graphics in games nowadays but some of the visuals and setpieces in Control Resonant have left me in awe
Remedy’s art team are probably among the best in the games industry rn
Your value isn't dependent on the money you make, the roles you book, the numbers underneath your shitposts, etc.
Your value is right there, and it was there the moment you existed, and cannot be taken.
I know you can't see it. But you are worth so much.
Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.
PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off..
Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving generative AI-powered instruction sim, has been spending $1000 a day to keep the demo running, and now, they've had to take out a bank loan to keep up. https://bit.ly/4rWqe8g
the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it
Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis.
“It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”
