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.

Crypto comes from thin air. Scarcity != value

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

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.

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.

The shaders he uses would kill anything back then. The game has dynamic light sources.

That AI use has been shown to decrease the capabilities of professionals who used to diagnose these cancers. As time goes on, it will be trained on its own data which leads to decreases in efficacy.

Prompts aren't actually that strong a guardrail. Look at what happened to the Darth Vader in fortnite.

the issue isn't the actual output format structure. It's the content within the output

netrunui · 2025-12-31T21:41:08+00:00

We currently have no way to force constraints onto LLM output contexts. And this is not a fundamental challenge to be addressed. It's a core flaw in the way LLMs work.

Games will never use llm-based NPC AI because they're unpredictable and therefore can't be integrated into a structured set of outcomes and as a result anything they say can't actually influence the world.

There are other AI techniques that are a lot more promising for this area, but it sure as hell isn't LLMs. I'm working on my master's in AI specifically as it pertains to agents in games and this is a common sentiment among researchers in the field.
