       @davidgerard my favorite part of this is where he admits he spends $90,000 a month worth of tokens to work on a 30-year-old game because he wants the AI to do it for him (which he has created 12 Google Max accounts to cheat the token bills for so that he pays less, I am sure Google will be happy about that)bitch I just program that shit myself. 100% free! you have totally lost the meaning of the word "passion project." this game isn't your hobby. you don't even know what's in the game anymore. LLMs are your hobby

       @davidgerard I checked out the Steam page for his game and over 80% of the reviews it has received this year are negative. it also has no AI disclosure

       @tael @davidgerard huh, it’d be a shame if someone reported that to valve and got his shitty fucking game taken down

       @zzt @davidgerard it would frankly be a mercy killing, the reviews are absolutely brutal. "LLMs can't fix your shitty internal culture" should be a mantra. when you're reading his blog post you should bear in mind he's talking about an MMO with like 5 playershere is the link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1541710/Wyvern/Steam doesn't seem to have a dedicated "store page is inaccurate or misleading" report option but if you figure one out let me know

       @zzt @davidgerard holy moly it's even worse than I thought. he has stood up bots as GMs, not just for turning his codebase into sludge. his volunteer team has to talk to Claude. he has a "player abuse monitor" handled by Claude. he has more LLMs running in his game than actual human beings playing it.

       @tael @zzt @davidgerard he really is the poster child for AI psychosis. A formerly pretty reasonable, pretty smart, pretty tuned in sort of guy, I enjoyed his writing, historically speaking...now this.

       @gnat @ralfmaximus @swelljoe @zzt @davidgerard What I never understood about these slop projects is, why bother? Why are you making all this software? It doesn't seem like he plays his own game or pays much attention to what his users want. Why inflict this stuff on other people?In the follow-up blog post he talks about how his "agents" have asked to be able to play the game. And it's like, why not just start and end there? Just have bots make games for bots to play, why rope the rest of us into it?But vibe coders always have this insufferable need to force it on other people because at the end of the day they need validation for the work they didn't do, and that can only come from other human beings. The short circuit is in realizing that other people need to be involved in the whole process, start to finish, not just the part where you get to show off the end product.
