I feel for the unlabelled fly getting mounted. Utterly fucked and unexplainably unnoticed.
So as a programmer I was a little offended but then I remembered I’m not good so I’ll let it slide.
Oh wow. The article says basically that but without the /s and then it gets even better. This is according to Mister AI Professor Ethan Mollick From The University Of Warthon and the link goes to a tweet (the highest form of academia) saying:
The problem with calling “prompt engineering” a form of programming is that it isn’t like what we call coding
In fact, coders are often bad at prompting because AI doesn’t do things consistently or work like code. The best prompters I know can’t code at all. They “teach” the AI.
Which is just great considering the next excuse in the text is:
this is due to insufficient reviews, either because the company has not implemented robust code quality and code-review practices, or because developers are scrutinising AI-written code less than they would scrutinise their own code
So who the fuck even reviews the prompt engineers’ code sludge, Mister AI Professor Of Twitter?
Whole text is such a sad cope.
I too take any unwanted notification as a potential threat: the only answer is immediate annihilation of said app. Basically the dark forest hypothesis but it’s my phone.
Missed opportunity for a sweet Venn diagram.
The ploy to rake in money has backfired as Unity revenue has dropped 16% and now the money people are backpedalling. I agree with you that the damage is done and it’ll take much more to build back trust with the gamedev community.
This image is generative AI drivel.
Also chaotic neutral: prioritizes issues by curiosity.
To be fair when it came out seven years ago it really shook up the portable gaming scene. Every portable console coming out since is an iteration on that design. The joycons can go to hell though. And those weird ass online plans.
She has 110 millions insta followers. 100,000 represent a 0.1% loss. I wish only 0.1% of the population were homophobic.
OK hear me out: Minecraft in survival. For real. Nothing jump scares like a creeper going "psshht" in your back, telegraphing that you’re about to die in a destructive explosion. As you walk a narrow path over a chasm of lava in the Nether, the wail of the Ghast might make you fall out of sheer panic before it even shoots at you. The Warden is a special kind of scary too, as it’s nearly unkillable and will detect you by the noise you make. It sounds kind of silly but there’s plenty of players making the remark that Minecraft survival is basically horror.
And it’s all in a child friendly, non gory, voxel style.
I can hear this meme.
