I used to “y’all” but then it got too much so now I occasionally “youse”
Hades remains a slightly better game than its sequel in almost every way EXCEPT that the sequel’s ending moved me to tears
Grew up Shepherd’s Bush, adult life in E3&15
Obviously I’m not cool but I’ve heard of lots of other cool things
I had never heard of Rowan’s before this morning, and I’ve lived in London 36 years
"LLMs aren't conscious" great "because LLMs can never be conscious" well mayb— "because silicon can never be conscious" I really don't think— "because only humans can be conscious" eek
weirdly he'd already read it
Yes! Exactly. I've been banging on this drum for a while because I've seen lots of people straightforwardly dismiss the idea that coding is/can be art and stop the conversation there, which is mad to me
bsky.app/profile/mtrc... mike as ever making my point more tactfully and carefully than me
I care if the words and pictures are shit too, obviously. I also care if the gamefeel and physics are shit. Does there need to be a labelling schema to mark the shit games out?
replies and qts to this basically split between "obviously you should just label the AI coders as made with AI too" and "obviously you should not do that" and both of them are shouting at me for thinking it's not obvious
I don't think there's a principle – that isn't dismissive of coding-as-art – for why I ought to label something if I use an AI fill in photoshop as part of a deeply involved asset pipeline, but not if I fully generate the player controls and physics on a platformer
But the labelling isn't "you must apply a label when you outsource creativity". It's "you must apply a label when you use AI [unless you use it to code]."
can a coding AI provably solve the problem of "do this elegantly", "do this beautifully", "do this so it's fun"?
