@PHedemark Maybe? IDK. It looks pretty unenforceable to me. I kind of love it.

Interesting following what's happening in indie design.

To me, this feels almost like the end of IP rights as we've always understood them. What company can afford to C&D + enforce 1000s of individual claims like these.

And who wants to stop this kind of creative freedom?

This doesn’t only mean the end of the gaming industry, for the FGC it might mean the end of the gatekeepers that control things.

I think studios like Capcom will survive, they are already adapting

Now we are starting to see why the FGC dislikes AI so much. It is about control.

Another bottleneck the FGC has is gatekeeping of games and communities though Discord. I’d like to see that tackled next.

I do not want to join a discord to actually get games. Matchmaking can also be remixed and automated as well

@asingleoat bro chaos overlords is a brilliant classic, that's a great one to revive.

Sometimes I'll ask Claude to do something on one pc and it'll open a browser on a different pc to do that thing.

I don't know that this matters a whole lot - the thing is still getting done. But it's kind of weird and maybe a little neat?

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

@djWHEAT wow. cheers to you guys, wheat.

Mechabellum, easily my favorite game of the last few years, is celebrating its 2.0 release today. I'm absolutely stoked to see the numbers popping off. Very strong. Huge congrats to the team @mechabellum

I question a little why I pay for X. @grok, what are the benefits of my X subscription? Does it get me access to any AI goodies? What can I do to get my feed to stop sending me so much content that I don't want to see?

This opens up some interesting moral questions doesn’t it? If the chips are made of human organic material, can we still call the intelligence artificial?

@Low5ive Go 👏 Cope 👏 Go

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

@LorangerChris Welcome to fatherhood my friend! It’s the best and most important thing you’ll ever do or be! ❤️🙏

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

@Low5ive Well done Cope. Launching a game is a monumental achievement.

My dude Claude is really misbehaving today. Kicked off a routine Fable to smaller agents workflow, and Claude's like "nah let's spawn 34 Fable sub-agents".

gg usage. My weekly reset was less than 12 hours ago. 😭

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

I love my son. Babies are disgusting. I can handle most of it. But last night he was puke’n and when that smell hit me I was done y’all.

Thank god for mammas. 🤢

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

This is turning into a real hairball. Still works tho! 🤷‍♂️

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

Definitely growing an obsession with AI memory, the idea of "feelings" in that context, and the question of "how to build a compounding intelligence for my life?"

Being a forward deployed engineer is the coolest gig on the planet.

@tvanhens Dude awesome post

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

@RileyRalmuto Make a rule: when using sub-agents, sub-agents must journal their work: what am I about to do? What is my expected outcome? What am I doing now? What was the result?

Tell Fable to monitor and steer based on progress.

Lads, is it time to ape into SpaceX?

[Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV]

@kunchenguid What did you conclude?

If I'm running business intelligence, and it's basically straight line reasoning, is that a Fable low? Opus Medium? Sonnet high?

I'm very interested in this question, specifically for non-coding work.
