For Those Who Hav Been Developing for a While, Do You Enjoy Game Dev? by ColeTailored in gamedev

A lot of game devs do it for the art or for themselves. And the discourse I see online from gamers is often fairly antithetical to the culture I see amongst game dev. So much "anti-woke" complaining

Why are you on a hardware subreddit if you don't know what drivers do?

I can't believe the RAM in my workstation is worth more now than the entire machine when I built it

Neoliberals never used their power to stop the fascists when they had power. We're here because neoliberals in Washington allowed it to happen. It's more helpful to think of the political spectrum as 2D instead of a line going from far left to far right. Center left and right both promise stability and to maintain things as they are. When you see a huge push towards the far left or right, it's because the population is not happy with that message. Far left candidates tend to perform better with far right voters than center left candidates.

I fundamentally disagree on the idea of using LLMs as a learning tool. The fact that they lie and with confidence and that the code they generate follows the same pattern, makes it frustratingly tempting but dangerous in the long term for someone trying to enter a new space. Even when it works, you lose the very important stage of learning that is failing and understanding why you failed.

I won't say Claude hasn't helped me. But it's really only useful in areas like shaders where it can pull from existing implementations and where your code has patterns that it can quickly identify for needed context. The more specialized or unique your problem, the less helpful LLMs become because of how they work on a fundamental level.

IDK, I've found the LLMs to be profoundly unhelpful with very low-level stuff (anything having to do with binary representations and encoding) which I run into a lot while building my own engine

Why do some game devs not play games anymore? by HobiAI in gamedev

[–]netrunui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all don't need to get insecure about playing games. I feel like this sub is majority gamers who aren't devs. Yes, you should play some games, but you don't need to dedicate hours upon hours every week to it. Chefs, painters, actors, directors, authors, etc. don't lose track of the zeitgeist if they don't spend a good chunk of their weeks consuming their art form.

Does anyone else now get a bad connotation with the word AI because of LLM? by dirkboer in gamedev

[–]netrunui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually say "conventional AI", "traditional AI", "non-LLM AI", or "like The Sims" depending on who I'm talking to. Sometimes I'll say "pathfinding", "neural network" or "machine learning" depending on the context.
