Zillions of options. Some important, some not

fyi Affinity Photo has recolor and hue filters that will do just that.

I used it for my video game art.

I have decided to lean in to it and I will document all the places I use AI in the game on my blog[2]. Not everything works, notably 3D assets[3] and sound effects.

There is a lot of human content… i paid for a lot out of my own pocket and have limited budget. It started in 2021 before chatgpt. LLMs cannot do everything and that’s not the purpose.

Generative AI makes me as an solo indie dev able to make the game. Without the AI the game wouldn’t exist

POH = Plain Old Human

Easy to achieve.

Why NOT include a link back? Why deprive yourself of information?

* Ad Hoc

requirements change and terminal gives ultimate empty workbench flexibility. awesome for tasks you never new you had until that moment.

* Precision

run precisely what you want, when you want it. you are not constrained by gui UX limits.

* Pipeline

cat file.txt | perl/awk/sed/jq | tee output.result

* Equal Status

everything is text so you can combine clipboard, files, netcat output, curl output and then you can transform (above) and save. whatever you like in whatever form you like, named whatever you like.

comparing one shot results is a foolish way to evaluate a statistical process like LLM answers. we need multiple samples.

for https://generative-ai.review I do at least three samples of output. this often yields very differnt results even from the same query.

e.g: https://generative-ai.review/2025/11/gpt-image-1-mini-vs-gpt...

Still… a really good application of agent hands-off replication.

Seems like creating a quality negative mould and then that single negative mould makes multiple positive objects en-masse.

quick, easy and consistent. entirely voluntary.

Bravo

p0wnland. this will have script kiddies rubbing their hands

Everyone has to find what works for them and the switching cost and evaluation cost are very low.

I see a lot of comments generally with the same pattern “i cancelled my LEADER subscription and switched to COMPETITOR”… reminiscent of astroturf. However I scanned all the posters in this particular thread and the cancellers do seem like legit HN profiles.

It’s as if they’ve never heard of Maslow‘s Hierarchy of Needs before and further did they don’t know Self Actualizing is right at the very top.

Without that key stone on the top the human being is still a wanting animal. And if you somehow “mission complete” one Self Actualizing, then you immediately start to want something fresh “purpose” etc.

And obviously Self Actualizing doesn’t have to come in the form of work, although often it does.

SimonW's approach of having a suite of dynamic tools (agents) grind out the hallucinations is a big improvement.

In this case expressing the feeback validation and investing in the setup may help smooth these sharp edges.

Couldn’t set up easily because no wifi

then I just simply could not cancel the damn thing… It required being in Australia, and like the article needed a SMS code and the support was only contactable Australian working hours… who wanted the SMS code again.

So once back in Blighty there was no way… had to cancel the credit card to stop payments

So you are at the mercy of the competence of the provider

I was looking to write a browser extension and this was a preliminary survey for me.

Slightly different approach, each plays in their browser/phone and there is no “main display”. And my games are cooperative. DM if interested.

I’m releasing a new game BossBattle soon so keep your eyes peeled.

Also see specialisms WITHIN Autism that are different to the mainstream Autism

The one I know most about is

PDA: Pathological Demand Avoidance [1]

PDA presents differently and needs very different strategies to mainstream Autism.

Main signs… kids under 12 attend school. However they explode at home or in private. At school the PDAers are masking (pretending to fit in) which is draining. When they get home the pent up frustration is released (explosively). So the family at home see a very different kid to the one that school/extended family witness. If this is an A-Ha! lightbulb moment for you or your child, see the questionnaire at the PDA Society[1]
