I've shipped two whole games with orbital cameras and not once have I previously though about adding motion blur smear. What a fool I am.

Lets take a fun look at how a SINGLE shader has had a massive influence on the gaming world, with most people probably not realizing it. And when I say this shader is used in EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING, But that's because this shader has a fascinating history. Huge thread 🧵

Meta jumps years ahead with lifelike Avatars. LLMs can be trained to speak like you. Text-to-voice can sound like you. The Simulation is coming.

Music & sound effect industry has not fully understood the size of the storm about to hit. There’re not just one, or two, but FOUR audio models in the past week *alone* If 2022 is the year of pixels for generative AI, then 2023 is the year of sound waves. Deep dive with me: 🧵

On today's episode of "old technology quirks I unnecessarily recreate on modern hardware" I've got an effect going now when animations play to simulate the compression of animated video clips. (Hopefully you can see it kick in when the doors open)

When I talk to Alexa I'm abrupt and talk in prompt. I even yell sometimes. When I talk to #chatGPT I find myself typing "please," and "great job!" (Interesting considering it's not personified.) Some part of me wants to think encouraging it makes it give better answers lol

Hmm.. Can’t see any downside to playing a game simulating gunmen storming your own home. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Incredible technology- can we dream up something a little less nightmare inducing?
