Is it Ludditism to not want to get PWNed spending $3k a month?

Setting it up that way is a choice a user would have to make. Just set it up on an oauth or budgeted api and not be an idiot. Setup additional guardrails in OC if you think are necessary.

Yes.

All new technology has issues. Figure it out.

Especially if you're spending $3k per month on inference, have the model fix the agent.

I suppose the idea is to wait for someone else to productize it.

Lazy.


Is the thank you to Claude sarcasm? That seems like a fairly long logical leap, and LLMs have no ideological motivation

"Is the Claude thank you sarcasm?" — Mostly. But the sequence is real: we filed #39755 asking for source access on March 27, the source map shipped on March 31. The actual explanation is simpler — Bun generates source maps by default, and nobody checked the build output. Which is itself the point: 64K lines of code with no build verification process.

> jc is open source. If you have improvements, have your Claude open a PR against mine. I don’t accept human-authored code.

Is this sarcasm? If not, I wonder why.


Hi! I'd be interested in contributing to V2 if you're open to it - is there something you need help with specifically?

+1, it feels very much like a case of _feeling_ more productive because you’re outputting more …stuff…, but IME, it’s easy to produce a lot of stuff that isn’t useful and just creates a productive vibe (pun intended)

What happens when OpenAI’s burn dries up their cash?


They mysteriously gain a lot of government contracts.

In a completely unrelated event, Donald sues Sam for 10M$ for calling him old, Sam grudingly agrees to pay him 16M$ and a beer.


That's where taxpayers come in a the ultimate bagholder.


RAM prices go down. My hope though is that the period RAM prices stay up will put electron apps out of market.


All the vibe-coded webshitware these companies are putting out seems too be doing the opposite: it's all even more memory- and cycle-hungry than the webshit we were lovingly pooping out by hand for the last decade.


They get more money from investors, go public, or get bought.


Taxpayers bail them out.


"We must be regulated to contain the nuclear bomb like power of our products. Oh look it escaped again!", etc


$110B will surely last for at least a year.


That money is going directly to Jensen as quickly as possible to secure OpenAI's place in the delivery queue


The investment version of "can you climb up a falling ladder fast enough to not fall"


Was that $110B in cash? I wouldn't be surprised if it's based on something else (paid for using deals for stock).


`uv` will get PIP'd


I think the software engineer types in this thread misunderstand what makes game developers tick. A lot of people here do game dev as a way to explore new ways to code. My sister is an indie dev and to her, code is an unavoidable means to an end (creating a game). So many games are absolutely spaghetti on the inside because the creator is deeply uninterested in the art of code. So to that end, LLMs are actually an awesome thing to enable creators to experiment more freely.

FWIW, I’m a platform engineer who is actively mourning the loss of reliability and care given to production code. I just think games aren’t an area where this is nearly as much of an issue.


This doesn't just generate the code though. It generates the "art" and everything else as well. Ideas are beyond cheap. It's the personal creativity that makes games good or bad.

And saying the code doesn't matter is just ignorant. In plenty of great games the art doesn't matter. In plenty of others the code doesn't matter. Or the dialogue. But the reverse is just as true. In a game with tight, fluid player controls, the code to make that happen takes just as much creativity and skill and human touch as any other form of art. A driving sim made by someone deeply uninterested in the code they write will never feel good to play.

It is just so disingenuous to say that people who focus more on the code side of game development aren't creators. If I can make a demo with a black rectangle jumping around on some red rectangles and hand it to someone and have them say it feels like they're jumping around as a cat, with no art or animations, I'd say that took creativity and a human touch that ai is nowhere near being able to emulate.


So if AI can't emulate it, what's the issue?

I do think AI can emulate it - one of the earliest headlines I remember is an AI piece winning a digital art competition. The piece was great and the influence of the (human) artist was obvious.

If something is beautiful, I can't be assed to care what kind of paint was used to create it. If you trust human beings to continue to appreciate art as we have done since the beginning, there's not going to be any intractable issues.


>If you trust human beings to continue to appreciate art as we have done since the beginning, there's not going to be any intractable issues

When did the discussion become about trusting the audience? I think the discussion has always surrounded whether it's worthwhile to treat art as a problem that needs solving.


Well, if you think it's not a problem to solve then you should go tell all the paintbrush manufacturers that their services will no longer be needed. Ditto for publishers, patrons of the arts, etc., etc.

If art is worth doing it's worth doing with good tools.


> If art is worth doing it's worth doing with good tools.

Yeah, that's why we should keep LLMs out of it.


There are many great games absolutely full of attrocious code.


I'd wager that there are no great games without some amount of atrocious code.


> I just think games aren’t an area where this is nearly as much of an issue.

That's news to me as a game dev. I only get a few milliseconds every frame in which all my calculations need to run. If my program is built on spaghetti code, performance suffers and it becomes very noticeable very quickly.


Yes, in fact there is a ridiculous amount of people in software that want to gatekeep how others do things.

In the context of making a personal project it will never ever matter whether you know how to code or not as long as you enjoyed the process.

It probably stems from a place of fear and pride.


hard disagree, Zed, for example, feels miles better than VS Code

Yo Ryan! I get your emails! I was just reading this thinking “man he should’ve tried TRMNL”

I love my original one and am planning to get a model X when budget permits
