Know what, fuck it, adding alt text because I do love this post lmao

Me: "Hmmm... something new is happening with Nvidia?"

Me: "Oh. Okay, but when do parts become cheaper again?"

Half Sword performance increase under Proton 👀👀👀

I still fucking suck at it tho

I've been working at my current workplace for 7 years now.

Seven.

I've been there for 49 dog years and they still don't know that I'm a dog.

"Programming is hard!"

it's supposed to be. you get better at it by actually learning/doing the thing.

"And I don't know how to reverse engineer things!"

that's also supposed to be hard.

both of these things are supposed to be difficult because they require skill and understanding of what you're doing. I really don't want to hear about some kid in the IT dept of a hospital putting vibecoded firmware updates on ventilators.

Schumer can pound sand for many reasons (his unparalleled support for the genocidal state of Israel being a primary one), but after he essentially fucked over Angie Nixon... fuck that guy.

Ayanna Pressley would be a far, far, far better Speaker of the House than Hakeem Jeffries. I have doubts that it'll be anybody other than Hakeem Jeffries (which fucking sucks), but I can hope for someone better.

At least it's looking like Schumer might be told to pound sand on becoming majority leader of the Senate.

It's time to retire the term "text file". The inclusive term is "non-binary". 🏳️‍🌈

Comm for Shiryu! :3

Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount is probably one of my favorite tracks from Aphex Twin's Drukqs. It just does so, so much.

I'm not sure how else to describe it.

On a related note, I'm very tired of "AI" bros insisting I don't understand the technology (unfortunately, I do) and pulling whataboutisms out-of-pocket as poor counter-arguments. It's as much slop as what they generate.

I'm especially tired of them trying to use "luddite" as an insult.

If you try and insult me by calling me a luddite, you're a fucking dumbass. Full stop.

Here's the other big tip: LLMs don't magically fix bugs from out of nowhere. They got that "insight" from somewhere else and without attribution.

That means that you could have also found that information, documented it, and given attribution.

Instead, you gave the fuck up and helped further justify the grift.

Does that make you proud?

"Bugs in programming are hard to fix and that's why it's okay!"

Fixing bugs is part of the programming process. If you really can't wrap your mind around finding bugs and fixing them, you should consider a change in career or just leave it up to the people who are actually good at it.

"What about translations of languages?!"

Something LLMs should objectively not be used for because they're "make shit up" machines.

I've seen indie games that have huge communities and they reached for LLMs to translate instead of reaching out and sourcing resources from their community of players.

Why? There are most certainly people in your game's community who can and will contribute to this kind of cause.

Why reach for the billionaire slop machine first?

And here we are having people say shit like, "Well that's one GOOD use for AI, so I don't see what everyone is crying about."

THERE IS NO GOOD USE FOR IT.

Literally every time a "good use" has been mentioned, it was something the world did fine without before that point.

In this particular context, I guess I'm talking about indie game development. It used to be that a single indie developer did it all. When they couldn't, they brought on people who were good at what they did in the individual fields. It was always impressive.

At no point did they ever give the impression that any particular field was so unimportant to them that they'd hand it off to slop generators because the creative community was kind of the whole point.

I'm more annoyed that one creative branch is willing to kneecap the other creative branches without even realizing it.

The idea that "slop" can only be genAI art, but never code or the idea that because you aren't good at art, you can just slop it up and it'll be fine because you can focus on programming.

Like... no. What the fuck are you doing?

god I'm so tired of "AI" centrists/apologists.

"It's BAD for this, but good for this other thing I'm not good at lol. That makes it okay!"

please play in traffic.
