@RepFitzgerald @FTC @TheJusticeDept That sounds more like crony capitalism than rule of law: any company allied with whoever's currently president would be able to Merge All The Things.

To streamline due process how about: "one federal court challenge per merger, all state & federal plaintiffs together"?

@brianonorio You’re wrong, Cherokee Smith would be an Indiana Jones class excellent name.

@benitoz @cryptopunk7213 @alexeheath How can a computer run an encrypted VM if it’s encrypted with a key that Meta doesn’t have? What is the underlying technology? Or are we just gaslighting people about a key Meta will have at least temporarily and promise (court orders notwithstanding) not to retain?

@Old_But_Gold50s The remake did it better with Jack Black’s arm.

@coshuloser How would you fix it?

Here's Edge Magazine's long-form interview with many developers on the state of the game industry. Lots of quotes have circulated, so read the full thing here:

@paulg What we see here now is a forum for the confident and the open minded, those who are unafraid to say what they think and to read and debate everyone else's ideas. Ironically, it's a change that I don't think could have been effected by any action by X itself could have taken.

[Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic]

@paulg Haters tried killing X by making up stories of its impending collapse, hoping for a self-fulfilling prophesy. That failed, so they attacked X defenders hoping public ostracization would scare people into silence. Result: compliant folks departed and the confident folks stayed.

@stevesi Those settings screen ads are a piece of work.

[Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic]

@tahoe7teen Me too. Just incentivizes the already massive abuse of the system to attach insults and contrary opinion to posts under the guise of 'adding contexts'.

[Danny @shipscode]

The App Store is dying.

Bad App Reviewers, suspended developer accounts, uneven enforcement of rules, etc.

We've all seen it on here, but it needs to end. There shouldn't be this uneven experience that comes down to an individual reviewer's mood or ability.

Let us cook.

@shipscode If only it had some competition!

@TaylorLorenz They’re proposing to anoint a political
Commissar for AI. This is entirely a Soviet construct.

@matthewstoller Remember Aaron Swartz.

[Steven Sinofsky @stevesi]

When Microsoft "paused" Windows, Office, and Server to fix bugs that made viruses possible people were surprised and then relieved because they knew we could fix bugs and make the products better. We too were working 18 hour days to add features (aka potential vulnerabilities.) Wall Street worried a lot but then decided security was a good idea.

But we took this as our responsibility. We did not appeal to Congress to make us "pause" or to get the other companies to pause first.

Grow up. Add logging, checking, debugging, and more to your products. It needs it.

GPT-6 made GTA 6 beach house using MCP tools!

Running Astra only through Blender MCP didn’t work for me, since it was mainly using primitive shapes to build the assets.

Now, with @Atlas3DAI workflows and Tripo, that changed!

Initially, I thought Tripo P2 would be the way to go: low-poly results straight into Blender. I tried it, but I didn’t get the results I wanted. Don’t get me wrong, P2 is great and a big improvement over P1, I just wanted more detail for this project. So I ended up using Tripo 3.1.

First, I needed a good starting point. I gave Astra some concept art and YouTube links, and it generated great reference images to work with.

With Atlas workflows, I used those references to generate images for all the individual parts. Using Atlas MCP, I exported them and automatically renamed everything based on the prompts. The next step was feeding the images into Atlas Batch Composer so it could run all the 3D generations in one go.

I asked Astra to optimize the generated assets to either 5K or 1K triangles, depending on their form and size. After a few tests, Astra made the process faster and faster. I gave it all 70 high-poly assets and let it run.

Astra then took care of the whole build. It imported the optimized assets into Blender and used the reference images to start recreating the house. I only had to give it directional feedback twice and manually rescale a few things.

There were still a lot of parts, though. Each beam was a separate object, and I knew that wasn’t ideal if I wanted to export the house to UEFN or Unreal Engine.

So I asked Astra to export only the unique assets. Then, using UEFN MCP, it rebuilt everything 1:1 while reusing modular parts like beams and windows.

I really enjoyed watching it place all the pieces in UEFN, almost like watching a timelapse of the house being built!
