Beware of alpha transparency! Two years ago I made this skybox for my game, not knowing much about GPU rendering. It's basically 16 transparent and backlit textures cycling through each other and UV drifting, and it takes more time to render than all remaining 3D objects together. #godot #gamedev

Ok, this is actually good. You don’t need to concede AI doomer talking points to have a salient argument for regulating AI.
Today, I'm calling to immediately press pause on the development of advanced AI while lawmakers and regulators put systems in place to keep people safe.

That was a cool read. Might look up Superluminal.
From the outside, rendering optimization can look a little bit like black magic. That's why @clayjohn.bsky.social, lead maintainer of the rendering team, is here to show a few examples of some optimizations from this year to highlight that optimizing rendering code isn’t as scary as it sounds.
Optimizing CPU-side Rendering Code – Godot Engine
Optimizing CPU code is a lot of fun. Here’s how we do it

It’s maddening to see people in such positions of power take this stuff seriously instead of laughing it off. Senator Patty Murray also reacted this way today. Please touch grass. Go talk to Cal Newport or something. Cal Newport is grass.
It's time to sound the alarm - louder - on reining in Artificial Intelligence.
It's becoming more clear the threat AI poses to humanity, so I'm calling for immediate action from the industry and Washington.

A blunt admission from former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon made waves as the 27-year-old AI researcher posted a resignation thread on X. https://cnn.it/4xGcWyB

One thing that annoys me with all of the AI disclosure tools becoming popular on various platforms is that they can also be used by AI companies to exclude AI generated content from their training data.

Here's a video breaking down the shader I made for this effect. Topics include the tangent space, vertex color, UV maps, etc.
I also explain my Blender-Godot workflow since creating an effect like this required me to iterate between the two. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

I made a few songs earlier this year to get my creative juices flowing for an eventual soundtrack to my game. Come chill to the sound of Polarity while watching a timelapse of me setting up a ragdoll in Blender + Godot. #godot #blender #gamedev #indiedev #garageband

This is a bit of a wake up call for me. I’ve made the decision to make my code public and my assets private before agentic coding tools were a thing. I still want to help whoever might want to learn with/from me. But yeah, I’ll probably encrypt my code and assets when shipping.
This has nothing to do with open source or knowledge sharing. This has everything to do with consent, greed, and exploitation. Idealized fantasies do not help when the survival of a medium and its creators is threatened by forceful extraction of labor and mass-replication.

What do we value as a society? The wrong thing obviously.
Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.
Lake Tahoe isn’t sure where it’s power will come from after the next ski season
The area’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year. It has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand.
