“Use of generative AI among game developers has declined after rising sharply in 2025, according to new data from the Game Developer Collective and Omdia. The survey shows 29% of developers reported using generative AI tools in early 2026, compared with 36% during the same period in 2025.”

    anti consumer practices that would not fly in the .com era

    I was curious about the whole ordeal again, and even than corporations tried, and obtained, many things that we deem as good in comparison with the thing we have now, but 1999 -2001 laid the groudwork for the next social media revoltion (2005 - 2007) that brought us here. But the outlook on technology was more positive, overall, and we weren’t digital addicts wandering around the streets. But there are analogies here and there. I don’t think the AI bubble is a subprime like event.

      In my eyes the AI bubble is an attempt of monopolization of all white collar industries by a the tech oligarch degenerates. Things will get increasingly worse if we let them.

          Considering a lot of these corporations , including gaming services, all have the side project of moving their products to the cloud. I imagine they know the bubble is going to pop and their bet is to use the chaos to restructure as many services as possible as rent seeking.

            anectodally, I accidentally vibe coded a web app while i mistakenly loaded my dictionary file (a .txt) in the wrong page. Surprisingly the website works, but I doesn’t permanently save any new addition to the flashcard set.

            I was just trying to get translation + example sentence for a flashcard / anki deck. I think I can restructure this thing to accept a .txt file as an input and make it actually useful, but If I didn’t know input / output on basic things like this i’d be unable to fix it. Well. Now imagine the number of users who are trying to make these web apps. Also it is 2026 and knowing java is still important apparently, so yeah also keep java in mind. And python.

            I wanted to make my own flashcard thing with python. I was thinking at In / Out. I wasn’t thinking at automation. Some people are already getting used to that, tho, Idk if it is a problem. I wouldn’t use AI without a proper introduction to coding. Oh btw I know anki is better I was just thinkering with ideas.
