Ah yes, something something, flies and sh!t, something something

@Quasilocal That is a valid logic but it just turns into a positive feedback loop

"I want blue to win but I don't think it will, so I vote for red"

That thinking only causes that blue has less chances of winning

Voting blue is not a lost cause, if you want it to win, then vote for it

@MaybeUrJusWrong @Frown08 @CFC_Junior_ @HunterNewberry8 @MrBeast Everyone on Earth means Everyone

Children, elderly people, heck even daltonic people

It is a fact some people will press blue so your whole logic of "there is no negative effects until someone presses blue" is undeniable wrong

Based on that, are you still pressing red?

[Alan @The_8thMoon]

@MaybeUrJusWrong @Frown08 @CFC_Junior_ @HunterNewberry8 @MrBeast "There is no negative for pushing the red" yes there is. That only shows how selfish red button pressers are. Cause it isn't negative to them.

But what if your child or grandparent chooses blue? You don't know who will press it either way
Red only increases the negative outcome

[Alan @The_8thMoon]

@KataXy11 @SkullziTV @CFC_Junior_ @HunterNewberry8 @MrBeast You are clearly seeing people choosing blue in this thread

Based on that, are you still willing to press red knowing some people are pressing blue?

Anthropic studies how AI coding affects 52 professional developers:
> the group who used AI felt “lazy” and noticed gaps in their understanding and the group which didn’t use AI felt the task was “fun”
> AI significantly hurts skills formation of a new library by 17%
> AI didn’t actually make people faster. the time saved on not writing code was spent interacting with AI
> only people who fully delegated their work to AI were noticeably faster, but they learned the least

there are three AI usage patterns that preserved learning and three that really hurt it.

the first three patterns:
1. asking only conceptual questions
2. generating code, then asking follow-up questions
3. asking for explanations alongside writing code

and the three patterns hurting their learning:
1. complete delegation
2. starting on their own then increasingly relying on AI
3. debugging where they asked AI to fix things without understanding why

@OverJumpRally And that's exactly what the original post was about
Start small, go big later
It can be polished or not that's up to you
But many small games will teach you more than one big game

[Alan @The_8thMoon]

@OverJumpRally Yes it does, a small unpolished game will teach you a lot
That's why game jams exist and they are a great way to learn the general workflow of how to make a game

[George Crudo @GeorgeCrudo]

no. the talented artists are explicitly avoiding and speaking out against genAI. it's actually like comically one sided how unified they are on this lol

When elite universities uploaded all of their courses online for public consumption, we collectively realized that the limiting reagent for global intelligence is not access to information, it's motivation.
