The biggest AI bubble seems to be forming within the minds of the people working in SV itself, judging by the talk about the inevitability of AGI, the strong language around fomo (permanent underclass and all that) and the close proximity of the whole ecosystem there.

So wether it's belief in AGI or a desire for building cool stuff, as an outsider looking in, it seems to be informed by the same echo chamber of thought.

GitHub Is Down 3 months ago

Isn't the data that flows through Github so valuable that they (Microsoft) are happy to eat the cost?

I don't have a clear idea how that value can be captured, since it's going to be 90% AI generated code that anyone can scrape (public projects) or can't be used (private projects), so perhaps you're right.

In the Netherlands, there's a single ID you use for all official government services. It's essentially username/password with MFA, issued by the government. What is neat is you can scan your passports NFC chip with your smartphone as a means to verify your identity through this system.

Not sure how it solves any of the data breach issues, though.

I feel Idiocracy is irresistible bait for 'not like the other girls'-types.

Everytime this movie comes up, droves of people mention how they get it, while others don't. It's becoming a trope in itself.

What I find interesting is how AI enthusiasts will recursively offer AI itself as the solution to any of the issues you mention.

Since AI can read and generate code, it can surely fix code, or find bugs, or address security flaws. And if this all turns into a hot mess, AI can just refactor the whole thing anyway. And so forth.

Personally, I think we'll be some years off before the whole software loop is closed by AI (if it even happens anyway).

I also want to throw MonoGame into the mix here. Since its purely C#, Claude Code works great for it. It does mean you dont have the visual engine tools you get with Godot, but you could even get Claude to build these for your game.

Im personally finding it a lot of fun to work this way.
