Ayúdenme a compartir esta página web que estoy manteniendo yo mismo para tratar de ayudar con toda la logística del desastre en Venezuela. La idea principal es ayudar a conectar persona A con persona B dependiendo de las necesidades que haya en el mapa.

@Jonathan_Blow Played for about an hour yesterday and the hype is real. Worked flawlessly with steam link too.

@andrestaltz Curious, what was the migration? Did you just leave it running as a cloud agent and come back to review the PR?

[Alejandro @aecorredor]

Should probably be “AI lowered the standards. Now reach customers.”

[Alejandro @aecorredor]

@antirez Do you now default to local models or still use cursor/codex/claude code?

[The AI Colony @TheAIColony]

This guy used AI to put himself inside World Cup footage and it’s insane.

@ThePrimeagen @strausszelnick I think @Jonathan_Blow might surprisingly like this guy

@ThePrimeagen @strausszelnick dang, based + classy + makes GTA? what a combo

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear.

And he said it without being anti-AI.

Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected.

Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet.

The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA.

And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked.

Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product.

The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches.

What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it.

Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next.

Those are different jobs.

@smhanov And here I was about to switch back to VSCode after reading your article 💀

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

I keep thinking I miss having someone like Steve Jobs in the industry.

He had some standards. He cared about quality, coherence, and making great products. He could be ruthless and he had plenty of flaws, but it still felt like he and Apple were trying to make something genuinely great above all else. They had their opinions and you could respect that. They didn't try to force you, but make their case why they think it's good.

Now tech feels driven by trend chasing, fear, scale, revenue comparisons, endless games and everyone talks their book. Investors come first, business goals next, and users last if not at all.

I wish there would still someone like Steve still around

@nikgeneburn Props to you for following your gut. That’s the only way to create a game with soul. Just keep working on the soul sucking cheaters :)

@SebAaltonen @NoahKingJr Nice to hear. Will check them out again. Anything for animation worth trying?

[Alejandro @aecorredor]

@SebAaltonen @NoahKingJr What are your thoughts on the current state of AI for art pipelines? It feels like 3D art is the biggest time sink atm.

This is what AI coding really is like

This is genuinely one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in baseball. Robbing a homerun is hard and rare enough. Robbing two in a game is the record. But three?? One in a million chance. Take a bow, Jo Addell. #RepTheHalo

@gdb I don’t know why I first read “shit your app to vercel with codex”

[Gabriel Dechichi @gdechichi]

I actually agree with this a lot
