   i think it's generally useful to completely ignore any talk about "AI" unless you have a really good reason to trust the source. an hour of playing with a frontier model will tell you a lot more than reading 30 editorials about how LLMs are / are not AI and will / will not destroy all jobs and will / will not lead to incredible wealth for everyone.

     @lain yep. It's a thing I learned a long time ago about people's recommendations. Lots of people will say stuff but you need to actually deal with the thing to know for real how you will feel about it.

     @mischievoustomato @lain autist naysayer programmer Jon Blow talked this
     "People don't know what's good. They get told something is good, then use it, and without thinking about it also then say it's good"
     Corollary: They don't use it and then repeat "It's bad"

     @lain @mischievoustomato I saw a clip of him talking AI with a Unity gamedev, who said AI fixes so many bugs and is so amazing. He gave the example of "controller input is janky" and Jon Blow gave him the Arno Breker stare, said that's just low-hanging fruit, those bugs only happen in the first place because you are a shitter, but he said it nicer lol
     
     It's a shame he is so busy with making Jai and his upcoming game, I think a stream of him using agentic AI would be really interesting.
     His game shipped with basically zero bugs and he makes a programming language just to have a more pleasant experience. So of course he probably thinks it's backwards to have AI generate code because writing by hand has become a slog. But despite that, what would he make with it? Very interesting to me.
     Johnny Peligro repeated this.

     @WandererUber @mischievoustomato i heard him talk more about gen ai when it comes to art.
     
     i recently started up 'the witness' again and was pretty much shocked how fast it loads and how well it works. he talks big but he can back it up.

     @lain @mischievoustomato What a coincidence. I was filtered by it the first time (don't have the mindset for puzzle games) but also recently started it back up. Got further into it than ever and will keep playing.
     A few people in his circle keep saying "this sucks" about most anything computer, but they are always proven right in the end.
     When they say "performance too bad" they can prove it and make something 1000x faster, so because I liked Blow's opinion on games, how they should be deeper than most, how they can teach something more interesting, etc. I decided to see if he can "back that up" too. He can.

     @WandererUber @lain @mischievoustomato he's an artisan and is shitting on a slop industry. i can't think of anything negative to say about that not even well it misses the business reason. why would i care about shareholders or whatever when my involvement is only i want games, and that don't crash or take 256GB of space. not everybody is him though

     @sun @WandererUber @mischievoustomato he's an artisan but not 'an artist'. he knows that he needs to make money to continue. so it's even more impressive, it's not like got a million dollars from the EU for his game about how hating foreigners is wrong, he really did it all by himself.

     @lain @WandererUber @mischievoustomato yeah he can make a living doing what he does. doesn't scale for various reasons but that's not his problem or goal as far as I can tell. it works really well in the digital realm though because unlike really good shoes he can take what he made and duplicate and sell it a million times.
