Admirer of all things, software developer by choice, electrical engineer by training, maker by nature. Father, cyclist, martial artist, lover of great entertainment. Years ago I could say I had tried just about everything once, sometimes twice. Now I am content to contemplate life in Atlanta.
Their CEO needs to tell them to remove the lorum ipsum from the landing page.
"Quis tellus eget adipiscing convallis sit sit eget aliquet quis. Suspendisse eget egestas a elementum pulvinar et feugiat blandit at. In mi viverra elit nunc."
Pretty sure Slate offer exactly this.
I found these hilarious!
I was ROFL over some of the mistakes the AI made. Parts of it was amazing, other parts were amazingly off.
No need to believe, just look at the facts.
I personally find the AI allows me to think at a more abstract level. For me as a maker, this is fabulous! I dont have to worry if I am crossing my T and dotting my i, I get to worry about the overall composition. Which for me at least is mind-blowing!
Use the force Luke!
I finally learned to let go of the code. I dont even run my C++ editor anymore.
I run frequent code and architectural reviews. Its awesome.
I miss OS2
Aren't article like this required to say "in mice" somewhere in title?
I hear "Honestly" more often from Anthropic than I ever do from all humans.
Indeed there are different kinds of learning, which the poster is not aware of.
No booking learning is needed for 4-9 year old's. But learning patience, understanding, empathy are life long pursuits.
Love the I {heart} NY in there!
Anyone know how Signal is responding to this? They ARE E2EE.
Does anyone here remember owning games on disk?
It was a royal pain in the ass!
You had to inset the disk every time you wanted to play game. The disks got scratched, destroyed, or rearranged by the wife.
Steam has saved me from all of that. Plus I can share my whole library with my family members.
Sure I might lose access to them all when I die, but 20 years from now who is going to care?
I love Costco, but I hate that they constantly move shit!
As someone who has spent years creating virtual environments, all I can say is "Its turtles all the way down" every detail contains more details.
Yeah! I only knew it for 3 days but I was starting to fall in love!
That looks like just what I have been looking for. Now time to see how well it works!
what do you imagine the social network would/could/should become? Obviously what we have is not working for some folks.
December for me too, went from hallucinating a lot, to doing really well. I guess it was opus 4.5?
Seems like a great opportunity for the "Boring Co" to start specializing in digging underground bunkers for data centers. You KNOW our AI Overlords are going to want it!
Wasn't Epstein a conspiracy theory once? Epstein cover up has made me believe that cover ups DO happen, and if this one was covered up, what else has been cover up?
How we are moving towards a hive mind with AI as the bridge
IMHO any idiot can create a piece of crap. It takes experience to create good software. Use your experience Luke! Now you have a team of programmers to create what ever you fancy! Its been great for me, but I have only been programming C++ for 36 years.
As someone who has been a coder/em/vp/founder for over 40 years.
The last 3 months of using Claude Code has convinced me that in order to have a job in software very soon you will have to a both a coder and an engineering manager.
It takes both of those skills to effectively manager AI, and managing AI teams is all it will be about within 2 years. Problem is if you dont understand coding, its hard to see the traps AI falls into. They are both amazingly smart, and incredibly dumb at the same time. Just like people!
Does anyone know if this uses Microvoxels or an Octree? As someone who has built an Octree engine I am curious. I will say it is gorgeous!
yes, we are using gpt-image-1.5
I mean all the major hurdles of making a game aren't really helped much by AI...
I have been using Claude Code to develop a game in unreal engine. It is fricking amazing. Its like hiring someone with 10 years experience to work for you. I am really impressed by how it know game patterns.
It definitely doesn't get anything visual right really. Sometimes it struggles to things things right visually, other times it nails it!
I have been using an MCP from gemini image 1.5 to generate my icons. And once it go my styles down, after 20 experiments, it does really good. Notice: It uses high quality by default which will burn up your credits. But if you turn down the image quality to low, it cost around 3 cents an icon.
There isn't large amounts of automated testing.
Some things can be easily automated for testing. But other things require play testing.
The art is also going to all be really derivative plagiarism
I am just using it to generate icons, and it does great. For 3D artwork I either use things from the FAB Store, or I pay a team of artists in Pakistan to do it.
Overall I say it is the equivalent to have a senior dev on your team, for 100 bucks a month
edited for line breaks.
I applaud Anthropic choice. Choosing principle over money is a hard choice. I love Anthropic's products and wish them success!
anyone have a suggestion for a good ad blocker for chrome?
Honestly the HBO streaming engineers should be promptly shot (or possibly their managers). HBO has the worst streaming interface of any service. Netflix on the other hand is quite good.
