@davidgerard@circumstances.run my favorite part of this is where he admits he spends $90,000 a month on tokens to work on a 30-year-old game (in fucking *bash* script) 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

@tael@yiff.life @davidgerard@circumstances.run $90k a month is insane i wish that developers could make that much instead of the stupid slop bots

@tael@yiff.life @davidgerard@circumstances.run I couldn’t tell how long he’d been spending $90k/month for from skimming the article (and I value my mental health too much to read all of it)l but it seemed like maybe a year? Which means he’s spent around a million in total. The games industry is notorious for low pay (and bad working conditions) because people love working on games and are willing to put up with a load of nonsense for the opportunity. He could almost certainly have hired a small and incredibly passionate team to work on the game for less money. And ended up with something actually good (or, at least, not terrible) at the end.
