gonna try and move over here. might take a while: bsky.app/profile/farfromsubt…
my timeline is 10 years before most households have a jack-o-lantern wrangling robot.
I see how some people can watch flashy robot demos on the timeline and think with a shiver that the robot apocalypse is around the corner, but reality check:
There is no robot in the world that can change the batteries in a jack-o-lantern.
If you have a robot friendly door handle it might be able to walk outside, pick it up, and carry it back inside. The robot could open the drawer with your batteries in it, but then things get tough.
Opening the package of AA batteries?
Extracting a precision screwdriver from its case?
Unscrewing four tiny screws that require a hard press and twist?
Popping batteries out of the case?
Yes, you could build and train a specialist robot to do that today, but there is a very long way to go to replace the full range of human capabilities. Near term doomer scenarios should stop at “secretly controlling humanity” instead of “wiping humanity out” 😀
it is really interesting that Miyamoto's pragmatic take on ai in gamedev has seemingly softened many people's stance. i follow many talented pre-ai gamedevs on here that i have seen give very similar opinions only to get shouted down with "pick a side!" mob sentiment.
it's incredible to me how many people took the rage bait.
Vibe your way to 50K.

my quick thoughts under this comment by the way!
i urge people to read his comments in whole. this is some of the best, thoughtful, pragmatic, non-inflammatory philosophizing i have seen and it comes from somebody with arguably the most clout in the industry.
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the acclaimed designer behind Super Mario and Zelda, has explained why he believes generative AI won’t make human creativity obsolete.
"There will always be a role left for us to play."

love this!
LITTLEBIGPLANET IS COMING NATIVELY TO PC 🚨
We just got an early look at a native PC port of the original LittleBigPlanet from the PS3. No emulator, no RPCS3.
LBP has always been one of the hardest PS3 games to emulate because it leans so heavily on the Cell processor. Now its PS3 code is being recompiled straight into native PC code.
A year ago people said PS3 recomps were years away. The decomp scene is moving insanely fast.
Kenney has done some cool stuff. But asserting that people like Tim Sweeney and John Carmack "don't understand your love for the craft" is fucking absurd.

Tim Sweeney
-> Built Unreal Engine
-> Started Epic Games in his parents' basement
-> One of history's greatest programmers
-> Hires many top-tier artists
Kenny
-> "I give out free shit for game jams"
Love what you do Kenny, but Tim Sweeney mogs you any day of the week.

people are celebrating as a "worst person you know has made a great point" moment despite the fact that his statements are actually far from rejecting ai.
Konami president says AI won't change game dev much and people will always be more important gamesradar.com/games/konami-…
i remember watching this live and guffawing at the fact that jerry had gall, as a comedian, to tell an audience to "stop laughing, it's not funny".
he violated a fundamental principle of comedy. the comedian doesn't decide what is funny. the audience does.
next, Dreams with PSVR2 support!
