Been using ChatGPT as a personal mentor to teach me how to make video games.
I’d describe it as a useful idiot. It has no idea what it’s saying or why, and it makes mistakes a real mentor versed in game dev probably would not, but it’s definitely a net benefit.
If you’re rich you don’t need to be jacked or tanned to attract women.

If a place and the people do not appeal to you, do not linger.
EU politicians could have shown a little restraint and made only that recommendation: to use incognito windows and close them regularly. But they probably don’t even know what incognito windows are. (Or what cookies are. Or how tracking works, which doesn’t require cookies.)
Browsers and plugins exist that remove cookie notices before they’re displayed.
If you’re worried about cookies, use only incognito windows and close them regularly.
Either way, improved tech renders these laws useless, as is so often the case. twitter.com/alecstapp/stat…

Saw a post not too long ago, going on about how game dev is supposed to be hard and suck but you’re not a real game dev unless you’ve suffered through that. 🤷♂️ Don’t have the source anymore.
There seems to be a group of ‘hardcore’ game devs who say you must build your own game engine to truly be a game dev.
Imagine if ‘hardcore’ web devs claimed you must build your own browser to truly be a web dev. Silly.
