... what
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:
aftermath.site/big-walk-ai-iβ¦
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

you might think "do I want to listen to a synthesized one last breath?" but dear reader, let me assure you that you do
I feel quite lucky to live in a whole different universe than jensen or chris rock
(kinda like gambling)
I just don't see the appeal. and this doesn't make me virtuous, it makes me lucky

I wonder how I'm gonna be, inshallah, as a grandparent
my mom is wonderful, she likes playing with my kid all day. someday I want to be as helpful as she is. but I can't even play with a kid all day now!
maybe for my kids I'll come over and cook and clean everything

thread of kids' books that are good
meaning: kid likes them, I like them, even after reading them a dozen times to him
kid is 2yo, so ymmv depending on your kid's age I guess
few of these are perfect, consider this a "4* and 5*" thread, but I'll still be concise bc I'm a grump

Tomorrow Most Likely, Eggers/Smith
I know, Dave Eggers, but my kid randomly picked it at the library and it's nice. NYC is still overrepresented in kids' books but I'll allow this pleasant "kid wanders around NYC" story

It's a good question, and I hate all the possible answers:
- "you don't, haha, I'm smug because I'm older than you"
- "do x magic thing that only works for me"
- "meditate 3:30-5am daily"
- "enjoy the precious time while you can"
- "honestly idk" (acceptable, true, but still gah)
parents of young kids, with jobs... when do you rest? I get to the end of the weekend and I'm more tired than on Friday

Ah man, federal hemp ban means no more weed drinks here in PA soon
but at least that solves one problem: how do you, without sounding like a big bang theory character, refer to a "weed drink"?

Been trying Whole Foods delivery. Today they randomly canceled on me for no reason. Which makes me so mad and leaves me no choice but to ... go shop at whole foods π€·

My toddler, upon seeing a book of his rival's works. Or his own works. Or really any pile of papers he can dump all over the floor
I like bands that tell me exactly what to do. I listen to Imagine Dragons when I want to imagine dragons. I listen to Rage Against the Machine when I want to rage against the machine. I listen to Jack Johnson when I'm horny

Idk, Bloomfield's local street artists won't be happy
ALT Graffiti that says "lower the minumem wage"
Half a million workers in Pennsylvania still make less than $15 an hour β you canβt live off of that in 2026.
Now, weβre finally able to change that.
The very first bill that I will sign into law with our new Democratic majority this January will be to raise our minimum wage β and make sure every Pennsylvania worker has a livable wage. Itβs long overdue.

Despite all the slop, I hold out a lot of hope that "Claude make me a website where people can enter their insurance info at the eye doctor" will actually make a lot of everyday websites *dramatically* better

thinking about this a lot too
one thing I notice when I rewrite claude to be legible is, I'm making it more active-voice. so yeah, like "the pack is said aloud" -> "the agent talks the way the pack is written."
claude talks in rules like a textbook, I try to write like a story
something I'm learning the hard way (and I see lots of people still not realising it) - whatever plain-english agent-writing style guide you were using for the models over the summer NO LONGER WORK for Opus 5.5. anything pushing towards concision results in a very particular way of using seemingly "plain english" words in contorted ways to mean non-central meanings. it's neuralese disguised as plain english. reading it feels like I'm having a stroke, or doing a maths exam I'm unprepared for
I was manually reviewing some opus-written prompts and finding howlers like "write each part to its job, in as few words as do it"
I'm currently having opus sweep all my writing-style prompts to remove mentions of conciseness. Trying to re-frame in terms of "not including information that is not necessary", but at this point I would rather more verbose writing than this hyper-compressed nonsense
