I really want @boxcompute to make it big. It only costs you $0.20 per hour for a 2 vCPU / 4 GB.
So, here’s a series of ads I made for it.

Morning-morning. Just a small incident at Mamak restaurant last night.
Lights flickered, as a lady with shedding petals around her entered the shop.
Roti canai for Ponti Ellish.

House House should’ve disclosed the use of LLMs in the development of Big Walk no matter how big or small, but I also think people are being incredibly performative over what is a few lines of debug code (0.1% total).
I don’t regret my purchase or endorsement of this game.

Well that's a perfect reason why a small developer would not disclose the use of AI because the anti AI crowd will label it as SLOP no matter what and will just act like sheeps, writing negative trash reviews without even trying to play the game. Now steam reviews are as relevant as the bunch of both AI and human made slop published daily. Y'all aren't doing anything other than sparking hate. And before you even think about insulting me, name a single indie dev who can prove that AI was not involved at all in the development of their game with coding agent history to back it up.

babe wake up, they're cancelling indies again for using ai to code
Big Walk getting fucking DQ'd from the Independent Games Festival awards for undisclosed AI usage was certainly not on my fucking bingo card but here we are I suppose
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Big Walk was not DQ'd from the IGF; some jurors stated they would decline votes for any games using generative AI (incl. code). House House used LLMs sparingly only to debug 3rd-party code issues (<0.1% of code), which Steam policy exempts from disclosure.

one thing i realised missing when building web based games is haptics. it’s often left out, but once u put it.. it feels so much better
so i added to LabGolf and u kinda can feel it, the bump, when u hit thing, the joystick control.
though ios support is limited (very hacky)

Two years ago I open sourced my DIY CNC machine, which cost me £2,655.80 and 9 months of my spare time. The Fusion 360 project, the drawings, the bill of materials, the STLs, the wiring diagrams and the Mach3 profile, all for free.
People ask why I didn't sell the plans... the answer is simple. Selling the plans would have defeated the whole point of the project, shutting out the very people I built it for.
My goal was to build a capable, sturdy machine for as little money as possible. Industrial-grade larger footprint machines are well out of reach for most hobbyists and small woodworking businesses. With a few minor trade-offs, you can build my machine for a fraction of the price, with nothing more than basic workshop tools.
10,000+ downloads later, people all over the world send me photos of the machine I designed, now fully built and operational in their own workshops.
That's what I love about open source. It's for people. Nobody needs permission or a subscription to build their own tools. You can repair them, upgrade them, and write your own software, because you know them inside and out.
This fills me with joy like nothing else.
ALT This is the alt text for the photo of you with the CNC, the one Content wrote for the LinkedIn post: Gareth (thehardwareguy) stands in his wooden workshop next to the DIY CNC machine he designed and built, then open sourced. It has an aluminium gantry on linear rails, a water-cooled spindle in the middle and an open electrical cabinet full of wiring behind it. A large MDF spoilboard covers the bed, which sits on a sturdy timber frame.

so Omarchy builds on the work of Asahi, raises a $10M foundation to support it and Asahi gets what exactly ? credit ?
if at least they contributed back, but if you've seen the code Omarchy generates, well... good on Asahi.

黃仁勳外遇，很多人以為這是新聞，其實 10 月底紐時就爆過了。
報導指出，川普一年前就聽過情報簡報，但選擇不採取行動，因為他不想影響輝達的晶片銷售，這些銷售有助推動經濟和股市。
換句話說，老黃過去一年有川普這把保護傘。
可是 11/3 期中選舉一出來，民主黨拿下參眾兩院，明年 1 月新國會上任後，委員會主席全換成民主黨，傳喚權也跟著換手。
有一點很關鍵：選後第二天要求老黃說明的，是三位共和黨籍的委員。
新國會要明年 1 月才上任，現在委員會還是共和黨在管，而且這次只是要求出席閉門簡報，不是公開聽證會，也不是傳票。
民主黨沒有理由幫川普最愛的 AI CEO 擋子彈。反過來說，「川普知情卻放任國安風險」對他們來說是絕佳的政治題材。
所以老黃的算盤很簡單：
與其明年被民主黨搞，不如趁現在共和黨還在管，自己先處理掉。
現在面對的是共和黨，關起門來談，比較好收尾。等到明年 1 月換成民主黨，換來的可能就是公開聽證會、正式傳喚，外加全國電視直播。
所以他先承認外遇、董事會先啟動調查、11/18 再進去閉門把事情講清楚，有機會在換手之前把這件事定調成「私德問題，已處理」。
外遇最壞就是丟臉；等到明年被民主黨挖出來，可能就變成國安問題了。

I'm just going to let you know: it doesn't matter how innocuous what you share is, the very moment you demonstrate that you are willing to screenshot and share private DMs with others is the very moment you _permanently_ close every door in the industry.
And I don't just mean gamedev, I mean in any industry.
You as a person cannot ever be trusted from here on out, period.

As an overseas Chinese who has worked on China’s energy transition and energy security for more than two decades, I’m tired of German commentators selectively using China and mis-represent China to fit a green narrative.
Yes, China is building vast amounts of wind and solar. But unlike the permanent subsidy model some Germans still defend, China ended national feed-in tariffs for new solar and wind projects from June 2025. After more than twenty years of government support, these technologies are expected to compete in the market.
At the same time, China is adding more coal capacity than the rest of the world combined, and building more nuclear reactors than the rest of the world combined.
My generation and older generation of Chinese still remembers food and energy insecurity. We do not take modern industrial prosperity for granted. China’s approach has always centered on securing energy and food supply in a changing climate — not on treating intermittent renewables as an ideological end in themselves.
That pragmatic multi-source approach is the actual story about China, not the misleading version currently circulating in Berlin by wind and solar lobbyists.
China verabschiedt sich nicht nur für den Klimaschutz von Öl. Der Staat hat verstanden, dass Erneuerbare Energien Länder deutlich unabhängiger und damit sicherer machen
Diese Groschen ist in Berlin leider noch nicht gefallen.

Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei are the ones doing massive corporate lobbying at the moment.
They are the ones who are attempting to perform a regulatory capture of the AI industry.
You, Geoff, and Yoshua are giving ammunition to those who are lobbying for a ban on open AI R&D.
If your fear-mongering campaigns succeed, they will *inevitably* result in what you and I would identify as a catastrophe: a small number of companies will control AI.
The vast majority of our academic colleagues are massively in favor of open AI R&D. Very few believe in the doomsday scenarios you have promoted.
You, Yoshua, Geoff, and Stuart are the singular-but-vocal exceptions.
like many, I very much support open AI platforms because I believe in a combination of forces: people's creativity, democracy, market forces, and product regulations.
I also know that producing AI systems that are safe and under our control is possible. I've made concrete proposals to that effect.
This will all drive people to do the Right Thing.
You write as if AI is just happening, as if it were some natural phenomenon beyond our control.
But it's not. It's making progress because of individual people that you and I know. We, and they, have agency in building the Right Things.
Asking for regulation of R&D (as opposed to product deployment) implicitly assumes that these people and the organization they work for are incompetent, reckless, self-destructive, or evil. They are not.
I have made lots of arguments that the doomsday scenarios you are so afraid of are preposterous. I'm not going to repeat them here. But the main point is that if powerful AI systems are driven by objectives (which include guardrails) they will be safe and controllable because *e* set those guardrails and objectives.
(Current Auto-Regressive LLMs are not driven by objectives, so let's not extrapolate from their current weaknesses).
Now about open source: your campaign is going to have the exact opposite effect of what you seek.
In a future where AI systems are poised to constitute the repository of all human knowledge and culture, we *need* the platforms to be open source and freely available so that everyone can contribute to them.
Openness is the only way to make AI platforms reflect the entirety of human knowledge and culture.
This requires that contributions to those platforms be crowd-sourced, a bit like Wikipedia.
That won't work unless the platforms are open.
The alternative, which will *inevitably* happen if open source AI is regulated out of existence, is that a small number of companies from the West Coast of the US and China will control AI platform and hence control people's entire digital diet.
What does that mean for democracy?
What does that mean for cultural diversity?
*THIS* is what keeps me up at night.
