@delphi7393 @TerrariumEarth @Krtzyy “Code” is technical. AI made code is code. Just as an AI written essay is still an essay. But that essay isn’t art if it’s not written from the heart as a creative expression of humans, and that’s how I see AI code. The whole project is just less “art” than it would have been

[Adrian @CodexAdrian]

@delphi7393 @TerrariumEarth @Krtzyy Lmao. Yeah I think that’s a very different conversation. I’m sure Yung won’t let his mod slip into slop, but it doesn’t take away the fact that the accomplishment is just less special when you cede dev to AI, just as it is when you cede art to AI. Cuz Dev is Art. I rest my case

[Adrian @CodexAdrian]

@delphi7393 @TerrariumEarth @Krtzyy I laid out an example that I worked on recently in the thread. I’d love to talk more about this, but there isn’t a ton I can say if you don’t explain why you feel the way you feel. It isn’t just technical, I feel strongly that it can be just as artistic as art done correctly

[Adrian @CodexAdrian]

@delphi7393 @TerrariumEarth @Krtzyy All of that is code, and in my opinion, all of it is art. I wouldn’t want an AI involved in the process of making that anymore than I’d want it involved in the process of making any asset for my mod

@delphi7393 @TerrariumEarth @Krtzyy The animations are also all math. It uses the door’s lifetime to determine how large the quads should be and where they should be placed. It uses that same function to determine when it should shake, which literally just offsets its position randomly during rendering every tick

[Adrian @CodexAdrian]

@delphi7393 @TerrariumEarth @Krtzyy It’s the “good coders”, so to speak, that really turn code into art. The ones who can turn a mathematical formula into a beautiful display of particles. The ones who can write shaders to render a dynamic asset no hand drawn piece of art could ever do alone. That is art

@ModSully It’s interesting because he used to dress normally, but says he started dressing in suits because of his greater presence in the media so he’s taken more seriously. If his clips get shown on Fox, he looks dumb if he’s shown in a tshirt or something

@delphi7393 @TerrariumEarth @Krtzyy Yes! I'm the author of those tweets, I am the primary developer for many of our projects.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.

To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.

That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

@zylumimaxx My perspective on it is that AI would only be ethical if:

It was owned by the public and freely available to all

Was set up on environmentally friendly data centers, isolated from their community to prevent pollution or energy spikes

@tyler02020 Hardly any money was spent in Florida by national dems, and coming so close to winning in what has become a mostly conservative state **is** a huge win. With proper national support, I believe she could take Florida in 2028

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

I didn’t think it was possible to combine primary-loser-sour-grapes & Islamophobia into a more toxic cocktail than Andrew Cuomo. But Haley Stevens has managed to do it.

If she wants to betray civil rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant protections, and working families by endorsing Mike Rogers and trying to give control of the Senate to J.D. Vance and Donald Trump, I guess that's her business — but it’s appalling, oddly patronizing, and simply false to claim that it’s in the interest of Michigan’s Jewish communities.

Our safety comes from welcoming the stranger, fighting for universal human rights, and building pluralist democracy — not from endorsing neo-Nazi adjacent MAGA fanatics.
Fortunately, there’s a powerful response of solidarity and shared safety, that every Jewish & non-Jewish Michigander can do on Tuesday:

@basedpolymer @Stinkysunstep Modders were never limited by the language the game was written in. People can and have made orbital lasers in Java, this has opened no new doors. The language was also not what was causing performance issues in MC Java, so Rust was not improving that either

@ShrimpGameing @Jook061 @syska_mk2 I'm a mod dev, nothing surprises me at this point, but theres alot of *extra* here that make me skeptical.

[Adrian @CodexAdrian]

@scullaaaaaay As a programmer I actually really appreciated how they said its all a simulation, basically a game that controls the systems. Makes it feel less dumb when they pull out the nonsense mumbo jumbo, its just video game speak!

[Adrian @CodexAdrian]

@ShrimpGameing @Jook061 @syska_mk2 Its definitely AI. I don't think anyone would spend this much time working on a single UI by hand.
