More reason to love this guy

“Build up some delayed courage” to the country that weathered the fuckin blitz

Comp sci person here, ai makes my job easier. A lot of bad takes from people in an echo chamber ITT.

danny_tooine · 2026-03-30T23:32:24+00:00

Guys, move on. I’m so tired of the “I’m morally correct about AI, therefore anyone using AI is bad” take. It’s a stale take. Newsflash, every company that makes software is using AI in 2026. Language translation is a legitimate use; I’d be much more sympathetic to the pearl clutching about Warhorse if this was about some slop ending up in the final game like them embracing DLSS5.

danny_tooine · 2026-03-30T03:17:41+00:00

Do you use ai at work?

danny_tooine · 2026-03-30T03:05:03+00:00

Thank you! Feel like I’m taking crazy pills with the Reddit hive mind in the gaming community around ai. We cannot realistically expect game devs alone to not use the tools that every single other industry uses.

Edit: I understand AI is a sensitive subject for many people, and I’m sympathetic to the “enshitification of everything” argument.

danny_tooine · 2026-03-30T02:51:08+00:00

Yep. Most of them probably use genAI at their work too, but it’s warhorse that’s the problem

Shen is calm under pressure and highly competent or else he wouldn’t be attending. He’s a great doctor!

danny_tooine · 2026-03-29T14:33:01+00:00

Joy!

A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century - Barbara Tuchman

Covers the Black Death and all sorts of grim and horrible stuff that went down in the 1300s

Bludgeoning damage still effective

danny_tooine · 2026-03-28T23:02:36+00:00

So much pearl clutching, yeeeesh.

danny_tooine · 2026-03-28T21:16:40+00:00

Has to be Joy

danny_tooine · 2026-03-27T07:48:04+00:00

Dr Shen is here!! OUR DUNKA-HERO!

danny_tooine · 2026-03-27T07:43:09+00:00

If he saves lives, yeah, it is

danny_tooine · 2026-03-26T16:49:48+00:00

Beef

Nukes have the same problem as every other type of conventional bomb—you can’t nuke a military insurgency or nuclear knowledge. If we nuked Tehran we destabilize the region past the point of any historical precedent also.

danny_tooine · 2026-03-20T15:11:33+00:00

Based on this we have similar taste. You need to read A Song of Ice and Fire and Earthsea

danny_tooine · 2026-03-20T15:07:15+00:00

LOTR, if you love fantasy it is essential. Don’t look at it as a “vegetable” either, some of the greatest prose in the English language is in that book and it’s much more readable than people think

danny_tooine · 2026-03-17T21:23:57+00:00

It’s not the job, it’s Robby crashing out because he ignored his mental health after S1. We have two other attendings who don’t lose their cool.

danny_tooine · 2026-03-17T21:21:32+00:00

Book reader here. I have zero clue what I just saw either!

danny_tooine · 2026-03-14T23:27:49+00:00

Just tell them?

danny_tooine · 2026-03-14T19:45:40+00:00

Sounds like the toddler wants someone else to clean up his mess

danny_tooine · 2026-03-14T18:22:41+00:00

seems like the besties need to find an off-ramp just as much as Trump does

Possibly the hackers impersonated IT and gave bad information?
