Wonderful analogy!

[jezz @JezziiB]

A techbro told me that biology is easy because DNA is just code, right?

I told him that DNA is 4 billion year old, completely undocumented, vibe-coded spaghetti, built by a blind evolutionary algorithm, which codes for its own compiler and runtime environment.

His confidence popped like a balloon.

Google DeepMind researcher argues that LLMs can never be conscious, not in 10 years or 100 years.

"Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight."

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

"no one is forcing you to work that job if you think the salary is too low"

well, the prospect of being homeless and starving adds quite a lot of pressure actually

Ok Capcom

That's what you get after expecting 100 million players in a game.

'EA has laid off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios' - part of a "realignment" across the Battlefield studios

@sean_gause Don't forget the sharpen. 😁

The next person who says a game isn’t optimized because Unreal or Artists Don’t Know How is going on a list.

The actual reasons: Post-project layoffs killing institutional knowledge, crunch culture, and CEOs/shareholders/investors/bad management creating those problems.
