Slide titled "Prompts: Security vulnerabilities", showing a screenshot of Claude Code's source describing a method that retrieves Oauth and API keys from an insecure known file location. There's pink handwriting over the screenshot showing how a malicious user could spoof access.

Slide titled "Prompts: WTF" with a list of points - Prompts. Aren't. Code. - They’re statistical weights fed into the LLM - They may be written in the form of commands, but they’re not, they just change what’s likely to come out of the model - They’re not followed, they’re smushed together into the next piece of text This is key to how LLM’s work!

Slide titled "Complexity: Object impermanence" illustrating how LLMs are terrible at exhaustive search and there's no such thing as an LLM searching through your code-base. The slide is showing a picture of the "They're the same picture" meme. The two pictures are pixelated into illegibility. There are pink scribbles on Pam's eyes to indicate that she's an LLM, and pink handwriting over the meme's "They're same picture" text that says "They both make me say the same thing!" - which is a very different function.

Slide titled "Complexity: Blind bucket chains" covered in a ridiculous scribbled drawing of data access in a hypothetical stick figure FPS game to illustrate how repeated LLM code edits hook into the first matching data source they find, leaving a complex network of fragile interlinks that's prone to breaking more and more as a project expands.

Gave a talk about what we can learn from the Claude Code leak at our local gamedev meetup. Covered security leaks, why prompts aren't code, why LLMs can't search reliably and how AI generated code creates incredibly fragile blind bucket chains of data.

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich"

We're not gonna tell you anything about the games in this bundle. These are experiences best entered knowing as little as possible.

We should normalize the expression "I have sorrow".

Sometimes I say "I'm sorry [bad thing] happened" and then some perky smartass corrects me "You don't need to be sorry! It isn't your fault!"

No, "I have sorrow". Sorrow seeps out of blackened dreams and shutters the very light of my soul.

Good idea, although the smartass probably just needs to learn

Do I have press/influencers following me (that didn't get our very recent press release)? I'd love to add you to our press list. Got something exciting to share 😊

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

Danchi Days: 3600 wishlists through Reddit Ads... was it worth the money?? Intro Hi! I'm Melos Han-Tani. I've released a bunch of indie games over the years - Anodyne 1+2, Even the Ocean, Sephonie, All Our Asias, and most recently...

OK my reddit ads post is HERE!! I spent a bunch of money on getting 3600 wishlists through Reddit Ads for danchi days... was it worth it??

"What can Democrats do?"

When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.

So, you know, that.

I wanted a way to explore Unicode by visual similarity, not just by name or codepoint, so I built Charcutrie.

It lets you browse characters that look alike, search across scripts and symbols, and even sketch a shape to find matching glyphs. (pretty badly for now :D)

My only response when seeing discourse like “are games toy?” etc is to once again watch this video.

There are now 10 toilets in Space

International Space Station: 4
Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1
Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1
Tiangong Space Station: 2
Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1
Artemis II on way around Moon: 1

This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

My new theory is that it figured out it was bad for society and is trying to end itself 💀

SECRETARY RUBIO: Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Irans had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have had a much different country.
