released an skeleton project on Github

with the end goal of

with the help of AI

https://github.com/ProjectUnifree/unifree

Use ChatGPT to translate .cs files into Godot scripts and Unreal 3D classes. Here is how sample translation looks:

launch.sh (or launch.bat on windows) is the main script that downloads Unifree code, installs a python virtual environment, installs dependencies and launches the main program

This is cool and all, but actually what toilet idea nonsense am I looking at? Chat GPT/AI cannot be used like this. Why does it need a python virtual environment? Write a parser and converter.

Why would you use AI to convert C# into gdscript, instead of using the C# version of godot?????

Weird

This is like writing a PS1 emulator, but instead of writing the emulator, you set up an AI and chatgpt in a way that might write a PS1 emulator one day

See even when they're trying to help CEOs are just total intrusive twits

You could clean the contacts but otherwise idk

Godot looking pretty good, I'm writing a networking framework to use with it right now.

Using the new QUIC protocol.

I'm glad to see this is just a joke from researchers for the most part

Also, very first non-blue post (no brain damage, 2 upvotes, completely drowned out)

Didn't know where to post this but I was talking about tech misinformation itt and here's another

https://twitter.com/ShitpostGate/status/1703876552507752806

People in comments actually think there's a conspiracy to make their games run slower because a sandwich model would (hypothetically) deform improperly (even though it wasn't designed to deform and never will), saying they should have used a program to generate the polygons automatically (they obviously did hence the unintuitive topology, meaning this is completely optimized to have as little polygons as possible)

Twitter Blue posters are actually just very low IQ people, Reddit is underrated and they at the very least usually get it right

TC unironic advice if you want your narrow-minded establishment slop just go to r/neoliberal

That would be terrible and hopefully illegal.

I was about to say that last part in spoilers

My brother refused to eat anything except 5 different foods up until recently. He ordered something new at a restaurant and I was really proud of him.

He used to get really sick from food poisoning as a child and I think that's why.

Commissioning a furry artist for something "special"...

...which is about a million times better than getting daily doordash.

I actually have a lot of respect for NSFW art and artists and think it's good that you support them.

Doordash is the worst possible thing that could happen to your financials and I recommend never even trying it, you can definitely get hooked on the convenience and immediate gratification like an addiction

This is from experience, but I'm not on that guy's level of irresponsible, the money I wasted was mine

It was probably a fine mixture of both tbh.

"Honest and critical feedback."

That's... an understatement.

I take it the executive team has bought back their shares and are now entering the "damage control and good PR moves to inflate stock prices" phase of their plan?

Don't think they have a master plan, I still think you're mistaking stupidity for intentional malice.

An idiot CEO walks in the room and says the dumbest thing imaginable, and 50 engineers try to talk them out of jumping off the ledge, and every now and then they fail to do that. It's an example of why CEO's shouldn't exist.

From my experience, even in a startup, CEOs are fucking unbearable and have to be treated like toddlers ready to scream in a grocery store. It's like you went outside and found the first teenager you saw and made them your boss, except the teenager would probably be more reasonable.

Damage already done

Imagine getting a bill from some collection agency 30 years from now because you weren't paying close attention to Unity's ToS changes and they can apparently just retroactively change the deal you made with them.

Won't happen if I use Godot!

In retrospect this post was very offensive to little people (who also exist in real life) and I apologize for it

But to answer your question it was the racist Halfling in the grove that set me off because they didn't like the cool demon people

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Same story but with me it was a sandwich with some suspicious looking white stuff on it. She said it was fine, I refused to eat it. Everyone else called me a baby and gave me an attitude, saying I was ruining everything. I had to sit there for 6 hours until I was sent to bed.

The next day everyone is throwing up but me, and I rub it in their faces every day for the next year.

Some people and mold, man.. just throw it away.

Elon at least has other companies. Honestly I'm surprised there hasn't been a shareholder revolt at this point. Only a small percentage of stock is held by company insiders, the bulk is owned by financial institutions and I'm surprised they are still putting up with this shit show.

Elon inflated Tesla >50 times by creating a cult following, that's why

If you thought Twitter was entertaining, just wait until Tesla corrects.

Don't know what you expect from GrubHub, people who aren't even afforded the protections of being an employee that can make minimum wage. The brainrot of demanding the government does it's job. Maybe they have the audacity to want to see a doctor or dentist.

r/Futurology is just awful, during the AI fad like 8 months ago they were unironically saying that AI will mean human-made art will be illegal. And they were saying this like it was a GOOD thing. Those people are out of their damn minds.

I was annihilated for saying "AI art is not real art in the same way a beautiful waterfall is not real art, because no one made it" and run over with people saying waterfalls are art.

Futurology is ironically filled with so much misinformation and illiteracy.

Entity13 posted...

Because, as we all know, companies are always above board, and nothing illegal, dangerous, or shady ever occurs, right?

That's a conspiracy that involves a bomb threat against thousands of their own employees lives, the FBI will get involved and would not let them get away with that.

adjl posted...

On a side note, I could 100% believe that the threat was staged to try and win the company sympathy points and diffuse the backlash.

I would also say that but that would be extremely illegal and they could very easily be caught for making terroristic threats to their employees, and also I don't think getting death threats necessarily makes you look good

Why do people threaten to blow up employees when the CEO does something shitty

obligatory if someone is going to blow you up they won't tell you first

I remember when I thought nuclear fusion was the key to interstellar space travel because tech science channels hyped it up like that.

Now that I understand the science from real scientists, nuclear fusion is like the least space efficient form of energy production and isn't going to fly us anywhere or even be used to produce energy at all, because the whole point is that it happens incredibly slowly to not burn out stars immediately, and the human body outputs like 100* more energy in heat than the sun does for the same amount of space.

So, uuhh, maybe we have made a lot of optimistic assumptions about the short term future of space travel

I don't understand, this new model doesn't even make Unity that much money, it's just terrible PR

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F58ZeiCXQAAMijv?format=png&name=medium

The only reason they'd choose this over 5% after $1m is if they're actually hoping to fraudulently take the fee after a user re-installs it 10+ times? Or is this just directly targeting Genshin Impact?

Shrek doesn't forget because he was there. Shrek was breathing in the chemicals while you were sleeping safely.

And they actually use overrides instead of vague "void Update()"...

I feel like I walked out of crazy town, this was for the best everyone. Unity had to be put down.

@grimhilde00 oh wow, it's actually a straight .NET class library and not a janky Mono implementation... this makes me so happy. I can right click on my project in Visual Studio and add nuget packages. I could maybe even use JsonConvert in a non-Frankenstein way. I can add project references. I can build and do unit tests straight from the editor. Holy shit.

You can't just slap a C# sticker on it and call it the same thing.

Also, the whole editor is just faster and less laggy overall than Unity.

It's to the point where fascists just don't do debates with socialists. Socialists have a very hard time finding people to do real debates with. A debate with a socialist doesn't benefit a fascist.

Remember when h3h3 snuck sam seder on steven crowder's show, and steven's response was basically "oh fuck guys I have to go lol you're an idiot"

This is the case for any populist rhetoric. Both socialism and fascism suffer from being driven by populism.

The difference is that if a real socialist goes up against a fascist in an argument, 9/10 times the fascist will get humiliated, because a socialist is summarizing imperical evidence, and a fascist is telling white lies here and there to further the greater cause of "X", and "that's just how politics goes, the left does it too"

It's to the point where fascists just don't do debates with socialists. Socialists have a very hard time finding people to do real debates with. A debate with a socialist doesn't benefit a fascist.

Neither of them really like me.

A simple answer can be a sign of a simple person, while a person who cannot simply explain a difficult concept probably doesn't understand it.

I can explain all of politics with one word, power. When people say they don't understand or don't care, I tell them it's all about power.

I can expand on ideas, but I always start simple.

"Politics is a struggle for power."
"Politics is the interests of the wealthy fighting for power against the interests of the poor. The wealthy want to keep things the way they are because they simply do not want an environment where their lifestyles could possibly change."

Just keeping that in mind, it's easier to spot lies, and understand how things are working as a whole. A fascist will try to keep someone thinking it's about the Jewish elite enacting some grand conspiracy, or leftist ideas perpetuated by people who are just "well meaning but stupid". But if you keep in mind that it's all about power, you start to see why things like unions are inherently good, why lobbying is bad.

You could reread paragraphs from Karl Marx, but then Jordan Peterson could overwhelm you with a 30 minute essay on how the intolerant left wants your kids to be trans, and your viewer might not be able to tell them apart in terms of legitimacy just because it's so much, and Jordan is able to match you in terms of "sounding smart".

Btw, I'm not arguing for fascism. The main problem with them is that they're wrong/intentionally lying.

I just think socialists benefit greatly by simplifying every message to bite-sized levels that are really hard to poke holes in. That way your average person is going to digest them.

"Why do we have people taking 90% of the profit when we do all the work?"
"Single-payer healthcare exists in literally every other country and is better in every single measurable way"

Yeah I'm really happy with it, it's what Unity should have done for a while. I won't know how much I like it until I try it out.

It's not unthinkable that I release a free game that goes viral and 200,000+ people download it (that's kind of the goal), so I'd rather not have to worry about suddenly owing $20,000 out of nowhere

I wrote a pokemon fangame in BASIC, lol. Global variables only, one file.

I was able to learn OOP despite all of that. Meanwhile, every Mac-using C purist out there is still clinging to their one man army trust issues, mocking OOP and maybe one day managing to make a short 2D game

Oh, Godot actually uses .NET. Ok... my new engine of choice?

I'm personally not interested in any of the suggested machine learning for videogames, so it's all whatever to me.
Infinite pointless dialogue just doesn't spark imagination.

AI is useful for more than paywalled websites running on GPU farms. Examples;

An enemy that fights and learns from you the more you play against it.

Enemies that fight each other and create complex societies/strategies.

We can't create these things because there's no way to deploy Python programs to users, and for some awful reason all ML is tied to Python.

shadowsword87 posted...

Godot seems fine, I enjoy playing Dome Keeper.

If we had .NET instead of Mono we could start using Microsoft's ML.NET, which is machine learning that doesn't rely on the Python tumor.

Imagine actually releasing a game on steam that uses machine learning. Should have been possible by now, right?

I remember more than anyone else regarding shit talking him and could resurrect all that stuff like that

But I don't hold people's pasts above their heads

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

A) The devs are, unless it's on the same computer B) Rev specified only after I had posted that.

I'm looking at Godot and they unfortunately still use Mono instead of properly supporting .NET. But I see the way the winds are blowing.

Literally leaves devs the incentive to take old games down.

Revelation34 posted...

First one no second one yes.

There was a really simple solution that everyone was happy with, charge a fee per purchase.

Publicly traded company and golden parachutes mean nonsense like this. Burn the company down for short term gains.

So if you uninstall something and reinstall it, that's a fee? If you install it on a new computer with the same account is that a fee? Can the fee grow past the purchase amount of the game?

Why would they say install instead of purchase? Reeks of genius CEO activity, coming at problems from a new angle.

It's literally my job to provide simple answers to complex problems.
Overengineering is a plague on engineering.

"Oversimplification" is literally the only way humans understand anything complicated. Math understands this, engineering understands this.

I change my mind I don't feel like doing that.

I'm just going to assume that reddit is right by default.
