@KatDoes3D @graycrawford HAHA just wanted to link you on this.

[Alexander ‘Gruni’ Grunert @gruni]

@Blender Any ETA for an iPadOS Testflight? :>

[Blender 🔶 @Blender]

This is the Blender on Android project’s presentation, shown at #BCON26.

@MRMOONL1GHT @Md_Nexus001 @Rec_A_Dork Like seriously, at least get your facts straight. There are arguments for AI use - but none of them negate the underlying theft that is technically required to barely generate useful output.

It requires training data and nowhere near enough people would give consent for that.

[Alexander ‘Gruni’ Grunert @gruni]

@MRMOONL1GHT @Md_Nexus001 @Rec_A_Dork Is training data taken with consent? Are original creators properly credited? Or properly compensated?

No? - Then it's theft.

Courts already support that notion, also that it's NOT fair use if taken through illegal means (Bartz vs Anthropic, GEMA vs OpenAI).

[Fear the Phantom (game in bio) @Phantom_TheGame]

I enjoy coding, I enjoy game design, I enjoy modeling, I enjoy putting it all together and see it come to life. I might be slow, and I might not be the best dev in existence, but I enjoy it. And I want to learn and improve.

If I fall behind, so be it. This is not a race.

[Alexander ‘Gruni’ Grunert @gruni]

@nemui_nekoooo It’s not a tool. It’s a queryable dataset built without consent, credit or compensation.

You are not replacing your screwdriver with an electric one. You’re asking money-driven thieves to build you a shed knowing damn well that they gathered their resources from your neighbors.

[Alexander ‘Gruni’ Grunert @gruni]

Gentle reminder that awesome, free resources exist and you have zero reason to use a plagiarism machine built on theft.

Even if billionaires, whose financial growth depends on it, want you to believe otherwise.

[Kenney @KenneyNL]

I've made 6 open-source @godotengine projects perfect for as a base for your first or next game. Completely human-made and easy to understand code & comments. All visuals and sounds included, CC0!

vibecoding has turned all of the gaming market into roblox

[Alexander ‘Gruni’ Grunert @gruni]

@MRMOONL1GHT @Md_Nexus001 @Rec_A_Dork Excuse after excuse… Team up. Ask. Collaborate. Commission work. Read the fucking manual. Do an advanced course. There are tons of awesome free resources. But most importantly: Just build stuff yourself.

Zero reason to use the very shitty techstack reliant (!) on theft.

[Alexander ‘Gruni’ Grunert @gruni]

@comradeflynn @Aftermath_site Doesn’t change the fact that he supports theft and propagates shit, fails to even give away freebies driving users to his competition and fails for 8 years to deliver basic functionality for EGS.

Nothing cool he made in the past excuses his current day idiocy and ignorance.

[Alexander ‘Gruni’ Grunert @gruni]

@SylvioD @machinarium @nurastudios It’s plagiarism. Using the very tools built on theft. Prime example of she shittiest kind of person doing the very shit everyone hates.

@EliasDaler Have you seen this? It works really well;

[Kaiju No. 14 @14_kaiju]

Takashi Yamazaki talks about generative AI companies in a Japanese government & film industry meeting:

“Steadily shutting down companies like OpenAI is the right course of action. But the problem is that there are just too many of them, so it’s practically impossible to eliminate them all.”

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

The biggest newspapers in Canada just sued Anthropic for alleged copyright infringement.

The number of lawsuits piling up over this technology is astonishing.

And there will be more.

The only acceptable amount of rat shit in food is zero.

"Look at all the extra steps I did. Rat shit, if used properly, can speed up the cooking process immensely! People not using rat shit simply have no idea how to use it the right way!"

Nothing done on top undoes the shit.

[GodotFest @GodotFest]

Every frame in #Godot starts with a series of choices. What gets drawn, how, and in what order?

@W4Games's own @john_clayjohn takes you through Godot's Forward+ renderer and the decisions behind its major features.

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

Godot will support spatial containers in the upcoming 4.8 release and we are excited to see how developers use these new engine's capabilities.

Spatial Containers bring new capabilities to XR applications to work in shared spatial environments. Read more: https://t.co/DLA0EQcipc

As someone who has personally championed Blender since version 2.59 (over 15k hours into it), I have watched its game engine equivalent grow into something really spectacular lately.

I'm going to see what all the buzz is about! ALL HAIL OPEN SOURCE....ALL HAIL OPEN SOURCE
