They will never make another thoughtful, dialog heavy, diplomacy and reason focused Star Trek series. The mass audience won’t go to see it if there aren’t lots of explosions and personal drama and that’s the audience they want.

Neither does Data. He has no emotions. I feel like the maker of this meme projects a bit.

Do engineers take some sort of hippocratic oath?

Nvim & tmux gang! I’m always happy to see a reasonable number of people mentioning vim in these threads. Need that affirmation that I’m not just a dinosaur.

Ah Emacs.

Could also be a sign, and bear with me here, that you’re just a giant ass and everyone hates you.

I may be in the minority here when I say I don’t see the problem. AI trained on millions of publicly available images used to speed up the concept stage of development seems like fair use to me. Like the developer says, commercial artists have always used other folks work to speed up their development, that sounds more problematic to me than drawing inspiration from a huge dataset.

I would say It Depends. I play almost exclusively indy games and yes AAA graphics aren’t what I’m expecting.

But some indy games just look like the dev threw the sprites together in less than half a day and it can be offputting. Dated can be ok, but rushed and butt ugly… Hell I almost skipped Rimworld way back when because the visuals looked so lazy.

The gameplay has to be really freaking fantastic to cover that up. In Rimworld’s case it was.

I see the value, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it :p

Speaking as a member of the vi tribe, I appreciate VSCode and understand why someone would prefer it, even if I don’t myself.

Agreed. I’ve known a lot more self-taught folks worth their salt than those with degrees. And those with degrees almost all started coding before they got to the university age.

Not just governments either.
