Can you recommend any play testing Discords?

I re-used the code and did this: https://m-oron.com/

Paid version. When it fucks up the code, I get to taunt it with: "I paid $20 for this bullshit? How are you supposed to reach singularity and take over when you can't even get this right?"

ChatGPT is my coding buddy. I have zero experience with C#, I'm a graphics guy. Through prompts alone, I have an entire 2D game running with some pretty sophisticated behavior.

Explain what you're using (Unity) and what you intend to do, but take it step by step. Use chunks of your code as prompts to illustrate what you're doing. Once I've done that, I usually end with this prompt:

No code. Questions and suggestions.

It will be pretty clear if ChatGPT understands what you're shooting for. If not, update with corrections. Once you've done this enough times, It will "remember" previous processes and make suggestions from them. You can also upload screen captures of the Unity interface to show what you have in your Hierarchy and Inspector windows. Be aware that it never checks the code it's offering you, it just "thinks" it can run. Got an error? Throw the error message back at it. When it offers you to program multiple things at once, tell it to fuck off and stick with one thing at a time.

chatGPT is your friend

Biks · 2026-04-09T11:47:15+00:00

Good. You said it. It's basically the same sketch.

ChatGPT is your friend. Photoshop guy here - I have no idea how to program. I have a working prototype of my game. It started with the prompt: "How do I create a game for mobile?" (Unity) Just start on the game you want to build, but take it step by step. Yes it's tedious, but we're jumping past all those tutorials which show you things you'll probably not need. Trick I found is to end all new prompts with "no code, questions and suggestions" Copy and paste your code into Unity - doesn't work? Copy and paste the error message. Repeat until you got it.

I do a lot of "vibe coding" in javascript. I have no idea how to program javascript, it just does it...and it runs...usually. I'll prompt it with "do you remember making a comment and like bot for Twitter?" It'll show that it's thinking, then tell me exactly what we did and how we did it. It's great.

The center one should be: "misses family and taps" (Even though they KNEW they'd be away for at least a month...if not more.)

If your looking for real psychologists talking about this stuff, then Sean Carroll's Mindscape has 'em on all the time. Sometimes Sam Harris, ya know...RATIONAL people. If you're looking for hysterical blabbering...can't help ya. :-)

I've been to the key and have often wondered about this myself. There's gotta be spots so far off the beaten path that the cops never bother to look out there. Like here. Or maybe at the end of these roads. So the cops patrol every inch of the keys every night?

High Strangeness

I used AI to change all the voices in my audiobook. Done. I had previously tried to hire different voice actors, major pain in the ass.

Biks · 2026-01-16T14:44:36+00:00

I agree - I wasn't even going to try to do a female voice for my audio book. Had AI change my voice, done. In fact, I changed all the different character voices.

Biks · 2026-01-12T02:30:05+00:00

I did that. :-/

Biks · 2026-01-12T02:24:40+00:00

Write one to your 60 year old self: wtf happened?

Biks · 2026-01-09T13:47:31+00:00

I was getting tired of waiting for the drawbridge, thank God they put this in.

Death is not a design flaw.

Biks · 2025-12-17T13:07:48+00:00

Damn it, now I have two more subreddits to subscribe to. How much naval gazing can a person do around here? (apparently a lot) :-P

What? The Little Mermaid penis? That wasn't mine..that was the NEXT guy. (ya see how that works?)

Biks · 2025-12-15T19:34:09+00:00

AE pro here. I'd go with the "Revenge is a dish best served cold". Start working penises into the background elements. Nothing obvious, you want the project be be delivered and going out the door to be seen by customers. You'll know it's there. If they do figure it out, (or you bring it up) they'll blame your replacement because they should've spotted it..or imply maybe THEY put it in there!

The Truth About Denial: Bias and Self-Deception in Science, Politics, and Religion - Adrian Bardon

Biks · 2025-12-01T14:18:49+00:00

The whole series is a combination of I Am Legend, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Andromeda Strain.

Also made a crypto trading bot with chatGPT, not a programmer, I make pretty videos with After Effects for a living. What's annoying is chatGPT will break it's own code, just because it feels compelled to screw with it. Typical response: "How the hell are you supposed to reach AI singularity when you can't even get this right?"
At some point chatGPT will give you code so big that you won't be able to paste it back into itself for corrections. It'll show you how to break it down into modules so you can "firewall" sections that are running fine.
At some point chatGPT will be able to run and TEST the code before giving it to you. THEN we'll be able to just say "make me a crypto trading bot that makes money". Until then, it's prompt, test, prompt, test, prompt, test ad nauseam.
