I bet if you caught a homerun ball in a baseball game, you wouldn't give it to the kid next to you because "I don't owe the kid anything".

It is not the "open" version of Warp. Warp is already open. So the name is rude.

How can AI be the amazing thing you say it is, but also too stupid to understand unless you get really good at communicating. Wouldn't better AI just mean it understands your ramblings better?

That is a lot of thoughts and feelings. There is plenty of research you can read before throwing out opinions.

DIfferent people have different levels of empathy. If you can live with these things happening in the world, let along being involved even in an extremely minor way then fine, but don't try and downplay it.

Wow, this seems like a lot of folks first encounter with a lyrical essay. I won't hold that against anyone. I have heard many things about the American school system. Writing like this is meant to be felt as much as evaluated. The argument matters, but the cadence and emotional momentum matter just as much. The author give you are chance to think about each point that is being said. Our dopamine addicted brains can't deal with this well anymore unfortunatly. Which is I guess why people feel uncomfortable, and don't know why.

Written words don't have colour, and you can parse those with ease.

Local models are fine for the way we have been using AI, like as a chatbot, or a fancy autocomplete. But everyone is craming AI into everything. Windows will be an agentic OS whether we like it or not. There will be no using your own local model for that use case. It is looking like everything is moving that way.

They are obviously looking for something to meet there future needs, not there current needs. It is free now, but they might be planning to one day tick over the free thresholds.

adamhartenz — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 02:34:53 +0000

I was just meaning, that if you think you can't do it in the timeframe, then you are making it too big for yourself. The rules are so loose that you could literally make a programming language that has a single command `run_my_awesome_game()` and fully impliment the logic etc in your language and library of choice. Obviously a trivial/useless example, but take it up a few notches and you could have something interesting. A DSL inside JSON can be very powerful.

A programming language could be as simple as a domain-specific-language done in a JSON format. It could just abstract away a bunch of thing, and most of the logic would just be in your "game engine".

So you are not accepting the challenge then. Sounds like you are over thinking or over scoping the problem.

The fact you can point out specific examples of when Blender is used says a lot. It tells me it is the exception.

They are not forcing you to make apps and put them on the store. If you want their services, then pay them. If not, then good luck to ya.

This is the kind of stuff AI lies about all the time. I can get it to tell me "That is some good insight, and is a known issue..." with things I make up out of thin air.
