We are on the verge of a civilizational change. Yet outside of books, there is an intense philosophical void. Little thread.

This is so eerie.

My life, like many builders, is currently dictated by Tibo's resets (which happen at 6AM in London). I knew this weekend Tibo would likely offer resets, so I invested Saturday & Sunday extracting all the juice I could from this available intelligence until 5 am to tackle some of my hardest animation, rendering & physics ideas. And I got dream results. However, this wrecks my work / life balance & my sleep schedule even more than usual. I really hope we get out of the last-minute reset culture one day, in favor of something more sustainable & predictable.

We don't all live in the same timeline. Many still run on obsolete mental models of reality, knowingly or unknowingly. I don't mind those who don't know. But some willingly refuse to update their model, entertaining the delusion that as long as their minds remain on an old version, reality does too. The worst are those who prevent others from updating their models. Usually, their status depend on it.

New trend: No AI, [insert badass human feat] While the world is using AI to build faster, larger & more ambitious, artisanal software engineering will become an anachronic nostalgic niche, similar to channels dedicated to crochet / swordsmithing / bushcraft / primitive building. It's still enjoyable to be introduced to a technical topic & shown how it works from someone trustworthy & experienced.

Now that human code is tested at industrial scale, it turns out to be incredibly sloppy & full of vulnerabilities, as expected. This is way worse than the infamous 2000 bug. Move your private data off the cloud. Clean up your online footprint. Assume nothing online is safe. It’s as if you had CIA spies with a large budget to dig everything about you.

Indignation is not thinking.

The media attacked rare optimistic souls like me declaring the exact same reassuring message years in advance. But now that it’s Miyamoto’s own words, notice how they don’t dare attacking. The price to be early I guess.

I’m scared for Paris tomorrow. It might be apocalyptic.

85% of UK lottery millionaires didn't start a business. Give someone a genie's lamp, and they might have no idea what to wish for. AI will give billions of people unprecedented power. Yet removing constraints doesn't automatically give them imagination, ambition, or vision.

The team at @JangaFX is absolutely world-class. Everything they develop is state-of-the-art, beautiful & performant. If I wasn't making a highly stylized game I would 100% use their tools.
