Wish I understood what all this is for.

Sit down @Gone West let me fill your mind with wonders ….

 

I’m going to list 4 things . You must combine each one into the other until you have one final unified brilliance.

 

Alexa

 

ChatGPT

 

Home Assistant 

 

Minecraft 

 

Now ! Either you have experienced a revelation or you are even more confused .

 

Brilliance is often seen as insanity by those looking at the curve . Join me ; be the curve !

I expect you know the answer, as ChatGPT is the only thing, of the four, I have ever used.

You must be the only person not to have experienced Alexa!

But anyway! Imagine chatgpt  and it can control your music/heating/swear at you and then imagine it shows you a beautiful procedural world for you to enjoy as the worlds most over engineered screen saver. 

Well!, do not imagine! - it is becoming real!

You simply have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much spare time.

 

Caveat; if it works and you sell for billions, I don’t want this comment to affect our friendship.

Nearly put me mac through the (expletive deleted)ing window. It claimed downloading files wasn't allowed. When I tried they didnt work. It had no memory of my project. I wanted to let me download via /mnt/data i.e. just type that into terminal from its sandbox. (expletive deleted)ing mess! Broken. I was pissed off. Was like that for 30 mins. Its now had a head change and were off again!. (expletive deleted)ing thing.

Lol. Glad it’s a fun and zero stress pastime you’ve gone for.

Thats the thing. Zero coding you would think zero stress. But (expletive deleted) me controlling this sometimes..... absolute ball ache. 

[Pocster]

fighting the (expletive deleted)er badly today!

[Pocster]

It complained about the poor code - which it wrote. It blamed me for the debug patches which it inserted without my knowledge. It wanted to stop for today as it's a mess. We've stripped back the water code completely!. And yes; re did it!. I called it a MoFo a good few times to inspire it .

 

Most typed response by me today "Just do it FFS"

I find talking to 'people' and doing things 'myself' a lot less stressful. The limit of my use of 'intelligent machines' is a robotic vacuum cleaner and a robotic lawn mower, neither of which is perfect. Maybe the software was written by ChatGPT.

Divorced !

 

not SWMBO ! Me and chat !

 

spent some cash now dating Claude x

 

I told chat to get (expletive deleted)ed , it can have the house , the kids , the dog .

I’ve hooked up to a newer model so just (expletive deleted)ing deal with it .

Claude is SO much nicer too me. More friendly, nice when it looks at my repo ...... But! got to be careful on a 1st date!

 

[Pocster]

Honeymoon period.

Holy GOD!. Claude Is on another planet with what it can do!. JESUS! Makes chat 5.5 look like a a paper cup. It's not just the reasoning it's how it builds a test bed so IT can look at the graphics itself!! F-ME! and then it moves the camera round too see the issues, then it tries to fix, then it repeats. Then it goes "all works, shall I put this in your code now?" F ME!. Gets a bit stuck/BS a bit "draw a line under it and ship it" .... BUT! WOW!. Now I can do even more things and never finish my house for certain!. I'm stunned. Its creeping the camera forward in a testbed it made from my code so it can analyse the issues. It then decides to paint certain aspects red/green etc so easy to spot and analyse. Its burning tokens like (expletive deleted) - but THAT's INSANE!

I mean "

Good terrain. Now — rather than eyeball stills for a pop (unreliable), let me measure it. The morph height is a continuous function of camera position, so I'll replicate the exact shader math in JS, sweep the camera in tiny steps toward the hills, and for fixed world points track their rendered height frame-to-frame. A pop = a large jump when a LOD boundary crosses the point. This is a rigorous no-pop verdict:

That result is a methodology artifact, not a real pop — but an important one to catch. My test evaluated morphedHeight at arbitrary points; a coarse ring's mesh only has vertices every N units and triangle-interpolates between them, so sampling the exact height function overstates what the coarse mesh actually renders. Let me redo it mesh-accurately — interpolating across each ring's actual triangles:

we're doing a geomorphic transplant now! I'll tense my arse hole just in case.

[Pocster]

It constantly comments on how crap chatGPT's code was . BITCH! ( but true!)
