There's a Star Trek episode where Spock tells the evil AI computer to compute Pi to the last decimal place so it'll be busy with the infinite task and not kill everyone. Nowadays the evil AI computer would just be like "3.142" and then kill everyone.

Category Connections will be available in 18 languages at launch! And just like all my other games, the translations were written by humans. No generative AI was used in any way. Coming to Steam and Mobile in 2027. Wishlist now! CategoryConnections.com #screenshotsaturday

The modern internet has made it impossible for me to easily find the answer to this question so I'm just gonna ask you nerds: Was there ever a Batman comic where Alfred became Batman instead of Bruce Wayne?

screaming "trans rights free Palestine fuck all recruiters tricking the young gambling is a blight and i think we will look back at it the same way we do cigarettes now" at the start of every stream to give everyone an ad-free experience

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

did anyone else ever play watermelon at recess or was that a regional thing? the rules were it was just handball but you played it with a kickball and if you could go under the ball instead of hitting it it's also entirely possible it was something my weirdo middle school friends made up

my next game does not fall into this pattern

I'm gonna have to get real creative if I wanna continue the trend of my games being in alphabetical order when sorted by release date. Unfortunately, Xylophone Hero didn't make it past the prototyping stage...

I used to manually take hundreds of screenshots to put on storefronts for my games. 5 screenshots * 18 languages * 7 resolutions = 630 screenshots! But today I wrote a script in @godotengine.org to do it for me and now it's done in like 15 minutes! I should've done this ages ago...

Doing some work on my next game, just paused and had a moment of thinking "I love doing this." If you use generative AI, not only are you a talentless hack, you're robbing yourself from the joy of the creative process.
