  Where do you think the AI piss filter came from…?

  Its trained on a bunch of existing artists work…

  Nothing on these cans indicates AI to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10.99 for a beer with..... ai pictures on it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  obvious slop

  So your source is “I made it the fuck up”?

  Stop spreading disinformation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10.99 for a beer with..... ai pictures on it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any proof at all this is AI art or are we just calling any stylized art “AI” now baselessly?

  I squinted at these cans for a minute and a bit, saw nothing that looked like AI artifacts.

  Post your actual proof, otherwise, stop spreading disinformation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10.99 for a beer with..... ai pictures on it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally post any source, or any proof this is AI art.

  Im squinting at it and not seeing anything atm that indicates its AI.

  So it sounds like you are making shit up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think way more context is needed.

  1. How many hours of continous uninterrupted sleep do you get per night?

  2. How often do you find yourself waking up during the night for any reason, and if so, what reason(s)? Soreness and needing to shift? Bathroom trips? Unknown reason? Noise?

  3. Does your jaw hurt after waking up? (Possibly grinding teeth or clenching jaw)

  4. How dry do you feel? Do you consistently wake up feeling dehydrated?

  5. How stressed are you, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being zenlike calm and 10 throwing up panic attacks.

  6. (Very common issue) Have you checked CO2 (carbon dioxide, not monoxide, just normal CO2 levels) in your room after sleeping in it? Rooms can be prone to bad airflow and CO2 slowly builds up overnight. Check for covered vents and ducts restricting airflow, try opening your window a bit. You can buy cheap air quality monitors online and test your rooms air quality in the morning after a sleep.

  7. Are there any other places in your house you find sleeping or taking a nap doesnt cause this? Try paying for a 1 night hotel room, and see if sleeping in a different bed in a different building still has the same issues or not, to narrow it down to if its a you problem or an environment problem.

  8. Record yourself sleeping, see how much you move around, snore, or see if you have sleep apnea.

  9. Surprisingly your dentist is more likely to help test you for possible sleep apnea issues, as a huge amount of sleeping problems have to do with palette shape, overbite/underbite, etc. So talk to your dentist about this!

  My point is, people are throwing huge hissy fits over random barely-matters stuff like “oh my god a random asset in some corner of some room looks AI generated”

  When meanwhile like 40%+ of the codebase is AI generated, but because people dont know about that they dont give a shit.

  They only care because they can see it and notice it.

  It comes across as shallow performative upset.

  I don’t see anyone who consumes games remotely bringing up the fact coding IDEs have been AI autocompleting code for like 2 years now, no one even gives a shit.

  Only when it started showing up in art assets, or hell, being used just in proof of concept stuff and devs say it wont be in the final game, people are like “oh mah dawg” and stamp their feet.

  Its cringe, get over it. The game is either bad quality or good quality, how it GOT to be that way shouldnt matter. The devs either did a good job, or they didnt.

  Let me put it this way:

  If you are busy critiquing how the result was achieved by what tools, instead of WHAT the result was, you are cringe.

  If you critique “this looks bad, its low quality, it looks like garbage” yeah, I have no issue with that, its a valid critique. Regardless of HOW they made the bad game, a bad game is a bad game.

  But if you care about what TOOLS they use, you are incredibly naive.

  People need to go look up how much resources/power/water data centres for build servers use, which the industry has been using for decades. You think AI uses a lot of power and water? Get fucked dawg, that is NOTHING compared to companies running multi-hour long gambits of automated UX testing suites. That shit is where the real power draw is.

  BUT the industry has been doing that for DECADES and yet no one has raised a single eyebrow at it, no one cared, no one even knew it was a thing companies did.

  Suddenly companies are using AI, which uses a fraction of that water/power, and everyone is like “oh my dawg, theyre killing the planet”

  Fuck off lol, if you werent complaining about it before, you come across as cringe, uninformed, naive, and dumb for suddenly caring about a 5% uptick in energy/water usage compared to what we were doing before.

  So all you end up with left is the “stolen property” argument, which STILL doesnt apply if its not in the final product anyways.

  And its a VERY wobbly argument to stand up and die on a hill for, anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not “everyone else is doing it” as an argument

  Its reality that a massive fuck tonne of devs are using it totally unaware its AI generated

  Its just a built in, enabled by default, opt out, feature in all the mainstream IDEs now and for the most popular ones, it doesnt even tell you upfront its AI

  So a huge amount of devs are 100% unaware of the fact that a huge % of their code that they just tab auto-completed with was AI generated code. Everytime they hit the tab button to accept an inline suggestion, that was AI.

  They just dont even know this, they use it totally unaware.

  See my other comment here for further info on what I mean, so I dont have to repeat myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Very few indie developers arent using it. The vast majority of casual devs have literally no idea the “code suggestions” they get from VSCode and other IDEs are AI generated, they often just assume its part of the LSP being fancy because itll only suggest a tiny bit of inline code.

  Source: I do a lot of technical interviews at my company I work at, and I interview a lot of senior and junior devs all across the board.

  Almost everyone has this feature enabled still (it ships pre-enabled and is opt out) and an incredibly high percent of devs are surprised when I tell them they have to disable that for the test, because it’s AI assistance. They are often like “wait THATS AI?!?!?” and are genuinely shocked to learn this.

  This % is very high for both juniors and seniors alike, its never really explicitly even made clear to you that its a feature you can disable, nor that its AI, its just there already working when you first install VSCode.

  And basically everyone uses VSCode for most programming, theres other IDEs but VSCode heavily dominates as what pretty much everyone uses for every language except the small handful of ones that have their own bespoke IDEs for their use case.

  But the VAST majority of game dev is C# and Lua now and a bit of python, and all of those are first class VS/VSCode languages as the IDE everyone and everything will recommend when you look up getting into it.

  So yeah, no, Id estimate about 95% of game dev at this point, both amateur and professional, is using VSCode and has the AI “intellicode” feature enabled still, totally unaware they are injecting a shit tonne of AI generated code into their games.

  The devs dont know it, the managers dont know it, the PR time doesnt know it, the CEO doesnt know it, no one is even aware this is a thing at most places lol. Everyone is just like “wow <language>'s VSCode plugin just has such excellent quality autocomplete and quick fix suggestions, I love it!”

  Not even joking, this is how most devs are atm, they have no fuckin clue haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So is every other major game company. This company just is open about it.

  Only someone living under a rock can convince themselves developers arent using AI for all sorts of shit.

  People are deeply unaware of the fact AI autocomplete for code has been baked I to almost every major editor for almost 2 years now, and its enabled by default, opt out.

  There are 3 types of game devs now:

  1. Those who admit publicly to using AI
  2. Those who have naive PR who truly dont know AI is being used a bunch
  3. Outright liars who lie about not using AI
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes Mario⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mario64 does have kind of a creepy liminal vibe to it.

  Long ass empty hallways, rooms with just a giant mirror, no sound except kind of haunting/enchanting music and the echo of your footsteps.

  It is objectively a pretty creepy / empty vibe to it, because in the game bowser has taken over the castle, so its supposed to be a bit spooky/creepy in a bunch of spots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Naw.

  For context at this time the Jewish people were under strict roman rule and oppression, treated as second class citizens.

  Jesus shows up to this huge, extremely sanctions, temple. It’s not just any temple, its one of THE temples for Jewish worship.

  Inside he finds that the romans have pretty much turned it into an animal pen + marketplace. It’s filthy, there’s animals shitting all over, there’s people doing business, people are being extremely disrespectful.

  Because the Romans didnt give a shit about Jewish ppl, this was a super huge insult to the very oppressed Jewish ppl, and in turn God in general.

  So yeah Jesys goes apeshit and starts flipping tables, chasing ppl out of the temple, whipping people and animals, basically being like “all you assholes gtfo how dare you”

  It’s less about the money stuff and more about the donkeys actively shitting on the floor and romans spitting on the temple.

  Contextually its likely people were doing stuff like pissing on the wall (no bathroom in a makeshit marketplace, what do you think would happen), graffiti’ing, spitting, throwing garbage on the floor, so on and so on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing about QA is the work is truly endless.

  If they can do their work more efficiently, they don’t get laid off.

  It just means a better % of edge cases can get covered, even if you made QAs operate at 100x efficiency, they’d still have edge cases not getting covered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but my point is, if it was the scenario you described, then Elon would be talking about the right kind of denormalization problem.

  Denormalization due to multiple different storing their own copies if the same data, in different formats worse yet, would actually be the kind if problem he’s tweeting about.

  As opposed to a composite key on one table which means him being an ultracrepidarian, as usual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but if that happens, musk is right that that’s a bit of a denormalization issue that mayne needs resolving.

  SSNs should be stored as strings without any hyphen or additional markup, nothing else.

  • Storing as a number can cause issues if you ever wanna support trailing zeros
  • any “styling” like hyphens should be handled by a consuming front end system, you want only the important data in the DB to maximize query times

  It’s more likely though it’s just a composite key…

  I don’t understand why the country where everyone is constantly touting guns “just I’m case” suddenly becomes “we don’t know what to dOoOoOo” when a random 25 year old unapproved unelected stranger walks in and compromises your systems

  He’s a terrorist as far as you know. Just fucking shoot him.

  Does he have an access badge? Did HR approve him? Did he go through correct approvals?

  No?

  Okay well he’s breaking the law then, fucking shoot him lol, what the fuck is the point of all of your guns uf you won’t even shoot people actively trespassing on federal grounds

  He’s a terrorist, it’s okay to just fucking shoot someone compromising your federal database.

  Code comments on stuff, “Use this method to x, params do this, returns that, throws this” etc etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For those of us using the tools, actively, it doesn’t seem to be a bubble.

  For a lot of us it’s already showing tangible measurable productivity increases, primarily on boring stuff normally we’d hate doing.

  As an example, I use it often to help with documenting my code, it’s really good at summarizing what my code does abd making clear, legible, professional documentation for all my code.

  That sorta stuff would normally take me hours and hours to do, now it takes about 1.

  I still proof read it, but a lot of my typing and formatting and humming and hawwing is gone.

  There’s a lotta shit like that out there getting streamlined more and more every month that goes by.

  I think it’s maybe 50/50 bubble and actual value. Lots of garbage “products” vaporware out there by people on the bandwagon.

  But also a lot of the tools truly are useful to folks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fundamentally good CEOs expect a wage based on the market.

  There’s tonnes of high paying positions so, no, non profits truly will struggle to find an actually good CEO if they dont offer a competitive wage.

  It’s not their fault, it’s the lack of regulation on all the for-profits and the fact they can funnel so much money up to CEOs unchecked.

  If for-profits had regulatory checks that made them do that less, then non-profits wouldn’t have to compete with nearly as insanely high wages.

  IE if there was a law that CEOs couldn’t be paid more than 10x their lowest paid worker, this problem would be a lot less insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not exactly the charities fault.

  The real issue is that for profit companies can pay their CEOs this much, which means charities have to compete if they want a good CEO too.

  In reality we should be cracking down on companies hoarding wealth towards to their CEOs at exorbitant rates, that way charities won’t have to pay a wage like this just to function and even hire a CEO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't imagine being paid to act like I enjoy working in the office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You do know some jobs can’t be done remote right?

  It’s possible the two people are the two with jobs that require some potential in person intervention (IT being the main case)

  If something physically fails, you can’t exactly fix that remotely.

  The fact only 2 people remained says to me they prolly had that sort of job, or, some people genuinely prefer working in the office.

  Sounds crazy but some people don’t have a comfortable set up at home and find it easier to focus in the office. I’ve had data where construction was right outside my window at home so yeah, I went into work to have some quiet.

  Most of the time I prefer WFH, for sure.

  But to pretend that literally everyone can always wfh, and always wants to, is silly and you’ve gone too far off the other end.
