@nprofile1q... AI code is also much more unstable. But it feels very similar, I recon. And it's not limited to a genre or feature set, either.

If I was to start out with no knowledge today and was like 12 to 16 years I'd surely be all over this shit. It's only with anything I know with my 30 years more in this planet that I don't like it

I saw some Youtube videos where people generate fully-fledged games in Claude Fable now. Games look very mediocre and probably nobody will ever play them. What's the point of this? I am so confused.

@nprofile1q... The way I see it currently is (from a user perspective) sort of like one of the game maker softwares we had 10, 20 or 30 years ago. You don't *really* know how to do all the steps but you have an advanced engine helping you.
Doesn't matter if it's only half way there. It's something and it's playable. It's the fun of creation. As it should be.

Most regular users will not know or care how damaging these AI models and their infrastructure could really turn out to be.

So if one truly wants to have full control over quality one must provide all instructions in advance. Thi...

Bitwarden execs are being changed, so some of the promises. We might be reaching Enshittification stage now so keep tabs on the changes if you are using it. https://www.fastcompany.com/91542655/bitwa...

@nprofile1q... not using BitWarden .. still sucks.
It seems to me that we've reached the generation of CEOs who will simply swoop in to a company and remodel anything after purely data driven optimization and big egos they've been taught at business schools.
Yes, there are still good eggs and yes this is subjective but to me it seems like there's more and more reports about such restructurings everywhere.

Thoughts on the Resident Evil movie teaser? https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/116/497/673/260/905/891/original/c9674ab76e16de11.png

@nprofile1q... One one hand the trailer by itself looks a lot NOT like Resident Evil.
On the other hand it doesn't give much away, which leaves a lot of room for slowly bringing the story to the lore.
Resident Evil VII also did a lot of very alien things in the beginning but reignited the franchise.

And personally I am just glad it's not another C-Movie with Milla Jovovich that is also not really RE.

Cautious optimism from my side.

@nprofile1q... BF at the moment (with Anthropic) has ~10x what Godot has. For a FOSS project Blender is doing exceptionally well. Maybe still not as good compared to an Autodesk or Adobe, but still very, very good.

Of course they can always use more money for when things go south but they could very well have made an exception here if they wanted.

I don't want to make a judgement, though. The stance on donatins is clear: NO obligations. I don't *like* it but I don't see it too negative, either.
