Fulltime indie game dev.
Former Software Engineer @ Microsoft. Xbox division. Game Streaming.
Having worked in such environments. This particular team will try not to do it again But many other teams didn't make the commitment or learn any lesson. And even the original team will churn over people and people will forget or new leadership comes in.
I believe they were being sincere but reality is often more complicated than 1 persons statement.
I thought that was part of the issue, is the poor understanding of is the test to evaluate if it can think or only if we think it can think. And even that is generalizable since there are different categories of thinking or concepts of the mind.
So it's perfectly fitting the noun for c++ dev is undefined behavior :D
At least for me it tells me about some options to use ai privately for duckduckgo so I assume it's from them. Possibly collecting views for Ai generated search results.
I dont know if it's true or not. But I remember reading about this person who would do the community reports for cheating for a game like cs or something. They had numerous bot accounts and spent a hour a day on it. Set up in a way that when they reviewed a video the bots would do the same.
But all the while they were doing legitimate reporting, when they came across their real cheating account they'd report not cheating. And supposedly this person got away with it for years for having good reputable community reporting with high alignment scores.
I know 1 exception doesnt mean it's not worth it. But we must acknowledge the potential abuse. Id still rather have 1 occasionally ambitious abuser over countless low effort ones.
While I do agree with you. To play the counterpoint advocate though.
What if we get to the point where all software is basically created 'on the fly' as greenfield projects as needed? And you never need to have complex large long lived codebase?
It is probably incredibly wasteful, but ignoring that, could it work?

* I'm using my own software
* I did 301,432 flashcard reviews in 2025.
* Those reviews covered 52,764 distinct cards.
The downside of this is what happens in other places. You won't neccesarily stand out.
The entities doing endless reposts are building faster bigger audiences and might or will repost your stand out piece.
If you care that you wrote it and that people enjoy it. All is good. But I'd you wanted to stand out with it or build around it. The low effort reposters might take that from you.
In a rare occasion I've even seen a reposter shorten or better edit the original piece.
Though I am still hopefully optimistic that in the long run for the good
I've also seen the term. You've been permanently banned for 12 hours.
Instead of temporarily suspended.
Whatever happened to the word suspended for temporary and ban for permanent and places say permanent with an expiration date.
In addition to random recipe.
Have a recipe of the day. Rotated per 24 hours.
So we can all enjoy and refine a recipe together
I briefly worked at Microsoft xbox back compat where we made the Xbox OG and Xbox 360 games work on Xbox one and newer generations and I know the PMs spent considerable time and effort doing similar things for the earlier Xbox games to be allowed for us to have them work on newer Xbox generations. It's really surprising that sometimes IP changes hands enough in some cases the owners might not have even known they owned something. I think the legal and permission always definitely one of the harder problems. I know music in some games were also particularly challenging, a few games had to have sound tracks removed or replaced.
When discord alternative?
I'm no ai expert so consider my opinion having little value besides casual user. But I really like this. It seems clever and easy for me to grasp some pros for this approach.
I could envision a bunch of use cases about this workikg well. Ive personally encounter scenadios where sometimes the ai gets hung up on irrelevant outdated fact. But could still look up if specifically needed.
I could see even an automated short summary of all history that is outdated being updated in the vector db from this too. So not all context is lost.
Keep up the great work!
it's a bit of work and effort to give a talk. And he is rich enough to not need to do it for the money. Time is important. If he'd be doing it for free he'd probably get too many requests. Adding a high $ can simply help filter down to a reasonable thing.to only the largest locations and highest number of people.
I dont want to do contract work but people ask so I just quote an unreasonably high number and on occasion someone bites. I dont need the money so I need an easy filter.
Would people consider obsidian juat a note taking app and not a todo app?
Daily volume could just be more bluray high quality downloads with people with better internet. And not neccesarily larger number of people right?
An inventory system for my games in unreal engine.
Supporting grid, multiplayer, predictive moves, item locking and more.

It's been interesting and challenging. Probably the most important part is I've been learning a lot.
It was a lot of fun earlier on but it's becoming less fun the more I work on it.
What about those drones that charge via power lines?
More background of skills? More back end? Front end? Ignoring skills do you have any specific interests.
Also you can still personally take old ludumdare themes. Do them in 48 hours. And then go and see what others did. Even if you can't submit. They can still be fun mini challenges.

A is first half of jan. B is 2nd half. Etc.. then the iteration in that section
Lots of games still have issues with ultra wide.
If you ever plan to do any screensharing for fun, support, or any purpose. It's all terrible. I screenshare with people daily and those with ultrawide are unusable. Most switched off for this reason alone.
Movies and productive they are just fine. But I'm not a fan but know lots of people who love. I'm just a regular 3 27" monitor person.
Only time I'd consider ultrawide for gaming is for sim games. Racing or flying but I don't play those games enough to justify.
Thank you, I hadn't considered arbitration as an option.
And it does appear they have an alternative to the traditional appeals process regarding arbitration. And this is an important enough of an issue to me to pursue it.
I got a 2+ year ban from Discord for being 'inactive' (I didn't properly moderate a server I created), at least to the best of my understanding. Their appeal and discovery process are abysmal.
Which a large variety of communities, sample projects, discussions that I found really useful, I now have 0 access too.
I am just at a loss of what to do with having lost access to useful information, communities, and peers. This is far more prevalent and problematic in gamedev related communities compared to other software communities.
My first very ever attempt at making a let plays video.
Immediately got taken down for copyright infringement. Completely destroyed my desire to ever make a let's play video again.
And it was for a 10+ year old game. It is unfortunate
I know some people didn't like this change. I think it works well to help make it clear and obvious to reactive vs non reaction changes.
There is a bit of research and effort into a head transplants. I wonder if and when that is successful to see how it impacts the individual. Possibly having memories of the body or changing personality.
What happens when we all reading llm output all the time. Simply start to adapt more to llm writing styles, word choice, and possibly without realizing it watermark our own original writing?
I forgot to call out that Matrix(protocol) seems like a worthwhile call out in looking at useful core technologies.
