‘Dystopian tales of that time when I sold out to Google’
If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be an engineer at Google during the early to late 2000s, here you go. Now even though Google is fundamentally a spyware advertising company (some 80% of its revenue is advertising; the proportion was even higher back then), we Engineers were kept carefully away from that reality, as much as meat eaters are kept away from videos of the meat industry: don’t think about it, jus … ⌘ Read more

10 Ancient “Smart” Materials Scientists Still Can’t Reproduce
As civilizations from Rome to the Maya harnessed empirical ingenuity to create materials with built-in healing, color-shifting, or structural resilience, they left behind recipes that modern science is only now decoding. From rust-proof iron pillars and self-repairing concrete to nanotech-level glass and ancient vulcanized rubber, these ten remarkable “smart” materials demonstrate how our ancestors engineered […] … ⌘ Read more

Making video games in 2025 (without an engine)
I genuinely believe making games without a big “do everything” engine can be easier, more fun, and often less overhead. I am not making a “do everything” game and I do not need 90% of the features these engines provide. I am very particular about how my games feel and look, and how I interact with my tools. I often find the default feature implementations in large engines like Unity so lacking I end up writing my own anyway. Eventually, my … ⌘ Read more

Wanna read something very scary?

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an interesting premise in that article:
The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.
This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.
If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣
