A somewhat common but strange response to the consumer request for AI disclosures on products is to suggest that if you did this, you should have to disclose all sorts of other things (how many people worked on the product, what other software you used, what hardware it was made on, etc.) I can understand that some people don't like the idea of having AI disclosures, so they immediately try to think of arguments against it. But respectfully, this one makes no sense. Product labeling requirements are driven by demand, either from consumers or from competitors. There is no significant cross-section of the public asking to know if a game was made on machines with AMD or Intel hardware. There is no significant cross-section of the industry demanding that their competitors list whether or not they used Adobe Premier. Product labeling is not about giving you a complete set of information about how a product was made. It's about giving the consumer information that a significant number of them might want to know before making a purchase. Which ones of these get codified can be driven by consumer demand, competitor demand, or - most commonly - a combination of the two. This is not weird. It's good, actually. And it's especially good if an industry takes proactive steps to voluntarily label their products accurately, because then they avoid the inevitable alternative, which is that the consumer demand for the missing labeling produces a political movement which ends with mandatory labeling designed by a political body.

Maybe we should delete the 99% of stuff that is just wasteful and friction-causing, the main purpose of which seems just to be to increase attack surface. xitter.cf/unusual_whales/status/…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: "I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use… models can find bugs that are outside of the normal threat model of what we think a hacker can do… hardware-level, insane stuff… I no longer think we're gonna be able to just patch all the bugs."

I'm just starting to get used to the very basics of Godot & Blender and now I want to learn pixel art. I need to focus up, but gamedev is REALLY fun!

Aw, they're taking their first baby steps to learn programming 🥹

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THE INDIE WEB COMMUNITY!?

Developers
We need a slang term for developers who write code without AI. What are we calling them?

My smart phone already does this for free even when I don't want it to.
Amazon has revealed an AI wristband that listens to conversations and remembers important details for you It can create reminders, to-do lists and shopping recommendations based on your chats

I lost count of the number of times I've been called a luddite by people who have no real technical skills. Personally, I respect people who have taken years to hone their craft (and keep up with it) - regardless if they're an artist, game developer, web developer, etc. And it's not because they know that skill, but because of who they had to become to push through the struggles of becoming good at it. You can learn to create a good AI slop workflow in a weekend. It's not a skill. You don't have to respect the lowest effort people in our society. I think once you accept that, the noise starts to become much less noticeable.

Just tell us when the layoffs are happening.
We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration. The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

Ahh the bot farms are down. I was wondering why I saw less AI glazing in my feeds today.

It's "Artificial Intelligence". Does that put me on the No Fly List?

As I'm building out more developer courses for Scrimba, I'm starting to ask myself more often, after watching this section, what questions would a student still have? It's such a simple question that I used to overlook in the beginning. It's drastically changed many parts of my courses. Man, teaching is fun. On a side note, teachers in traditional education deserve to get paid a lot more in the US. There are so many teachers that I know who are REALLY good teachers (way better than me) who just give up because it barely pays the bills - what a sad way to treat people who have the responsibility of preparing the next generation.

No matter how much some choose to let their skills atrophy with an over-dependence on generative AI, you will NEVER become a good software engineer without learning to code first. Writing code helps you more deeply understand it. Without question, all junior developers should be writing code.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang questions whether some of the learning fundamentals are still relevant “Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter? I don't think it does.”

Vibecoding is the most cucked thing imaginable. You literally sit in a chair and watch. No touching allowed.

Since we have WoW Forever, I think the play is to just wait until GTA 6 comes out on PC.
