Today’s a very big day! I’m very excited for LEGO Fortnite to be out in the world, over the moon for all the wonderful folks that helped bring it to life and sincerely honored to be a part of it.

My TUNIC Audio Talk is up on the GDC Vault!
I know some folks were asking if it'd be available after GDC, and it looks like apparently YES! No login required! AMAZING🤘

here is another reminder about the LEGO Ideas Outer Wilds project, which is now a little over 1000 supporters away from reaching the 10k mark to be officially considered 😮 // ideas.lego.com/projects/4202…

I created a proof-of-concept integration of ChatGPT into Unity Editor. You can edit your Unity projects using natural language prompts. github.com/keijiro/AICommand

So earlier in the week, I saw someone used ChatGPT to write a layoff notice as a CEO to the company using an MLK quote:
teapawt.net/mattstratton/status/16…
And then I see this today. An actual CEO does a layoff and uses the same quote:
slashdot.org/story/23/01/27/…

Just wanted to state explicitly that I was also laid off from 343. I can't say much about it. But I want the players to know that the team and I moved every mountain we could to bring you Infinite within the constraints we had, and I'm so proud of everyone.

It's been a difficult week for Halo developers, and especially for the talented folks who no longer work with us. If you've been impacted by the 343 Industries layoffs, please reach out. (1/3)
Michael Romero retweeted
If you ever have the chance to hire a 343er, do it. I assure you that their talent, collaboration, passion, and grit will be unmatched.
Reposting: the news of layoffs speaks for itself. I’d love to help forward job openings and make recommendations for the folks impacted.

A cache of Polaroids from the set of HACKERS just dropped.
I’m experiencing a lot of feelings about this.
