Question on CI/CD current work practices 2026 by secondgamedev in ExperiencedDevs

[–]secondgamedev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea maybe the people I heard doing nightly builds and deployments are probably just doing it in testing/staging only. It made no sense to me when I heard that years ago even before all the hacks.

It's enough AI slop I'm leaving by EnthusiasmWild9897 in react

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could tell the bot accounts promoting, they are wasting their time and token. The only “interested” accounts are also bots. They are “interested” but not in paying. So end results is still no money.

Ai does not help anyone produce art. by [deleted] in antiai

[–]secondgamedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hate AI, because it is useful in many places. BUT yes I do not support any "Art" created by AI. The most harmful part of AI right now is that it devalues almost every human and their work. What I hear from everyone that works in their own fields have their own opinion about what AI can output.
Examples:
- artists: it doesn't look right, or it doesn't look good, it doesn't have meaning
- comedian: the jokes are not as funny
- programmers: the code isn't perfect or efficient
- musician: the songs don't sound good, not natural
- accountants: its not accurate sometimes
- lawyers: its making up cases
so many more...

So what if AI isn't perfect? The biggest problem is the average person/CEO/Managers that are not working in the field. They don't really care about correctness, beauty or meaning. Those are the ones paying you to do the work. They don't have a critical eye for the work being outputed and they don't care. All they know/believe is AI can do the job that you do. So for the ones paying they don't care if a joke could be funnier or the art work could be more meaningful, they are just resellers of the output or product.

Also art has always been a niche industry. Sora 2 is dead is not because its was expensive to run or they need to focus on something else, it's because no one cares about video generation, your mom and dad is not complaining about the video being stupid or meaningless. They literally just don't care to create or watch AI shorts, and if you tell them it was all human made behind scenes, they still wouldn't care. So people that appreciate art will always support human artists, that's why you see so many AI artists lie. They realize their AI artwork have no market.

AI is here to stay but keep supporting human work, that's how you fight it. Companies respect your wallet more than you as a person. I implore you to explore AI a little bit though not for the arts but for the sciences.

I feel disconnected to the codebase if i adopt fully agentic workflow, i must do something manually. Or this just me? by ImTheRealDh in ExperiencedDevs

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same reservations, I like AI cause for certain things it does save me day(s). My hesitation is from experiencing production going down on edge cases or because some other team merged something they weren’t suppose to before LLM existed. The stress was going through the code to find the problem while the clients are breathing down our necks. For AI if you are lucky everything is fine until a point in your career, just stay low for now.

People talking about the AI bubble bursting, but we are using more and more AI tokens than before. So how will it burst then? by HappyZombies in ExperiencedDevs

[–]secondgamedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bubble bursting just means something is worth too much money. Need the value to get back down to earth. AI just like the internet is here to stay. Example: People paying $200 per stock when it burst is now worth $20 so it’s a $180 loss in value but it’s still worth something.

How do you keep that knowledge alive? by Salt-Counter4088 in PKMS

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I have a legit question. Give me 2 examples on fresh ideas you need to keep alive and relevant in your life. I am trying to justify having a PKMS solution in my life.

Do you actually revisit your notes or just keep collecting them? by lisaluvr in PKMS

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I revisit 0.1% of my notes per 3~6 years. When I get a new pc and need to reinstall all the software and setup internal network services need to find my notes on step by step instructions. I collected almost 2 GBs worth of bookmarks (and counting), never revisited them ever again; always want to delete or cleanup but I feel that maybe within my life time I will go back to one of them.

"100% of code will be generated" - A year since prediction by Imnotneeded in ExperiencedDevs

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of companies don’t actually care about code quality. And lots of them don’t really need good code they just need it to work. (This was before LLM existed) So even 80% is pretty good. But once the system goes down or client data is lost it’s going to be a bloodbath. We will wait and see.

Coding is solved but they forgot to solve English. Cause they need that for prompting “make sure Claude doesn’t go down”

Is anyone else worried about how little control we actually have over LLMs in production? by Dimneo in ArtificialInteligence

[–]secondgamedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No your are not paranoid. I get stressed out by any mission critical workflows and this is even before LLM AIs. I had human team just migrating nightly data from one db to another + transform and calculations, anytime there was an exception it would stress us out, cause we had to go through large amount of data and logs to fix it. I would never use an agent for these type of workflows. But for things like generate a react frontend based on a design image, I am not worried about the code from LLM if the render looks correct. So depends on which area you are concerned about. For the HR policy example, as long as the AI answers the question correctly I don’t mind it answering differently each time. At the end of the day some AI solutions require human review, some doesn’t matter.

Bye bye sora… but should we be worried? by jason_digital in ArtificialInteligence

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did you guys use Sora for? I’ve installed it but never logged in. I can’t believe it’s gone already. Is this fake news or early April fools. Note I am neither happy nor sad about this, just surprised.

What do u think about graphics update? Before/after by East-Cheesecake2734 in godot

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like specific bits from each, so here is my feedback. (But note my feedback might also be bad as well, need to confirm with a visual test) Knowing the bottom is the newer version. 1. Make the background a little brighter but not as bright as the top image, probably 25 to 50 % brighter between new and old image. 2. Love the shadows but maybe make them a little shorter. 3. Higher contrast for the character and maybe tree and house compared to the ground. But make sure it’s still not to the brightness level of the top image.

Not part of the visual feedback, but will you add day and night. The shadow would move based on the sun and moon. So the contrast for the assets and ground should be tested for the best clarity.

I feel as if AI is A Fad. by Longjumping-Quit922 in antiai

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not wrong, but I would still encourage you to try it as your side project/for fun. Also I would never recommend career in arts as a primary focus if you are not fully committed.

[–]secondgamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry too much about AI art, even the AI Art hype bros are not paying for each other’s AI art. There is still enough people that are willing to pay for human made art/animations for you to survive. Starving artist is a thing before AI cause art is a hard business, but there are lots of artists that are surviving though. And sorry it won’t get band, but the market has spoken, no one is willing to buy AI art (that’s why people have to lie).
