In five years 'made with AI'
will sound as strange as
'made with Photoshop' does today.

If you are making games with AI - I highly recommend creating a 'tech art' test scene.
It basically allows you (and AI!) to tune the look of the game across lighting, shaders, post processing, effects and more.
Esp. with smaller models - you'll find that this is the fastest way to get your 3d scenes looking better

ファミコンの名作を3Dボクセル化するエミュレーター『3dSen PC』が、バージョン2.0に大型アップデート!!
今回新たに追加された「Retina」は、従来のようにドットをそのまま立方体として表現するのではなく、ボクセルの境界を越えて滑らかな曲面を描くことで、立体表現するシステム。
この他にも、反射や陰影、ピクセルシャドウなどの表示調整機能を追加。
更に入力遅延を軽減するRun Aheadも標準で有効になり、メニューの刷新やゲームパッド操作への対応など、使い勝手も大幅に向上している。
しかも、Windows版は64bit化され、MacではApple Siliconにネイティブ対応している上に、以前Steamで買った方は無償でアップデートが可能というのがサイコー。

ファミコンゲームを、今風の3Dのボクセルなゲームに変換するというエミュレーターは、正に唯一無二だぞ!!

People who think humanity will become lazy and useless without jobs have a very depressing view of human nature.
Do you seriously believe the only reason people create, invent, explore, compete, and discover things is because someone pays them?
People climb mountains for fun.
People spend thousands of hours mastering video games.
People build entire virtual worlds for absolutely nothing.
Human ambition doesn’t disappear when you remove financial necessity.
It gets redirected toward things people actually care about.
The end of compulsory labor isn’t the end of human purpose.
It’s the beginning of choosing your own.

This is what an experienced gamedev with AI can do.
Those who think this will only bring slop are wrong. In good hands, we can now raise the ceiling much higher.

Conjuring up a whole esoteric game engine only to express your desire to travel though the Alps to Bosnia is now a reality. Our dear medium has evolved. It's a good thing.
stop giving shit to @TimSweeneyEpic for f**k sake! :-)

I quit my job, spent my last $1400 and built Aestra, a permadeath online RPG, without knowing how to code
A lot of you keep asking the same thing: is it actually making money?
Yes. The first class I put up for sale was the Death Metal Bard, at $1. Over 2,000 of you have bought it, and Aestra is now officially profitable. I had so much fun creating this class and I'm so happy players like this unique class
I've since added two more $1 classes that are already making money, the Nightblade and the Cloudbreaker, and I'll show them off properly soon
Thanks for everyone of you that are playing the game and engaging with my content. I'm always getting a lot of questions how I built this game as I don't knoe hoe yo code. The whole game was vibecoded with AI and built with Opus 5.5 and @TesanaAI
I'm going to keep working on Aestra, and got another big project that I will post about later this week.

"Slop" is work that is low effort and low intent. I'm pro-AI, and anti-slop.
By low intent I mean the ratio of creative decisions being made by you vs by the AI. If the scale tips too far towards the AI, it's not your vision anymore.
But there is so much nuance to using these tools in 2026. You can get very involved, give detailed notes and feedback, make minor changes, and iterate just like you would giving feedback to a human collaborator.
This makes you a director, and an artist.

An example of how to sacrifice an entire unit and an entire mission. Russia and the mirage of being a major military power.

This is so bad ass. We gotta get Omarchy running on this thing, @PalmerLuckey!
Daniel Tabár retweeted
This article is full of blatant misinformation.
"The components Luckey specified that are planned to be American-made from the start are the display glass, the frame around the display, and parts of the ribbon component."
No. That is not what I said. This was a response to a specific question about the display modules in the current prototype vs the final product. As I explicitly said, BlueChip has American chips, batteries, metallics, plastics, glass, etc, and we have a clear technical roadmap to 100% American components.
"It sounds like BlueChip’s first laptop will be well below the 65-percent requirement to count as American-made"
This is nuts. There is a reason no other reporter has came to this conclusion. One hint might be the extended discussion we had explicitly about the government requirements for American-made hardware and why meeting that bar is so important.
"Palmer Luckey is of course a controversial figure, with his history of fueling right wing troll farms"
This never happened. You are pushing a lie The Verge has pushed for over a decade now. Yes, you have written a bunch of stories claiming this happened, but it just ain't so. I gave $9,000 to a group that ran a single anti-Clinton billboard. The "right wing troll farms" narrative was a fabricated story pushed shortly before the 2016 election because Dems desperately wanted a right-wing equivalent to the actually-real Correct The Record, an online astroturfing organization that paid people to troll and "correct" Trump supporters online.
But there was no such thing. It was all disinformation. Which is why most of the stories about it were later deleted. Yet here you are, lying again.

Nice! Oculus creator Palmer Luckey’s company Anduril is teaming up with Qualcomm to make ultra rugged computers in America. As much of mobile computing has evolved into fragile art, there’s a huge unmet demand for durable work tools.

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years.
No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

I am the one replaced by AI, my 40k hours of manual coding was made obsolete this year. Don't tell me which methods to use to survive. If the game is bad, send me feedback so I can improve it.
That's my new automatic response for the dozens of 'don't use vibe-coding' comments under my videos
Daniel Tabár retweeted
Everyday I got unskilled people telling me to stop vibe coding under the videos of my game.
They say I should learn the skill.
Let's imagine I didnt have 40k hours of manual coding
Let's imagine I was a non-tech pursuing a goal of becoming an indie dev.
Don't I have the right to use AI to make incredible games?
You could have expected that the gate keepers would be the dev, afraid of becoming useless. But no, we are the first ones great replaced and the most enthusiasts about LLM.
Let non-tech vibe code their game and going from idea guys into crafters. – at Nong Prue, Thailand

WARNING this game was made entirely with Opus 5.5 and three.js and it is ILLEGAL for you to want to play it

If you can code, you can learn how to control fleets of agents to do your bidding. You still have a massive advantage here vs. the average non-coder.
For some people, coding was the only valuable skill they had.
If you made your money by selling your ability to write JavaScript, CSS, Python, or whatever else, I understand why you are pissed now.
"Writing code" is worth very little today.
The sad part is that learning to code wasn't easy. It takes years for someone to become a skilled programmer.
Imagine watching all of those years go down the drain.
If you are a programmer (I mean, just someone who knows how to write code in a particular programming language), your days are numbered.
If you still think AI can't do your job, you are just in denial.
But honestly, writing code was never that valuable anyway. If you were a code pusher, you already knew that the best people at your company weren't just writing code.
They came up with new ideas, designed solutions, architected whole systems, knew how to troubleshoot and fix problems, found different ways to build better software, and, in general, spent almost no time writing code.
Not only are those people thriving today, but they're also the ones who will ride the AI wave and learn to bend it to their will.
So don't cling too long to what you lost; embrace what's already here. AI is a tide that lifts all boats, but you have to be open to it.
