Watched the Apple VR announcement in VR with a huge room full of people complaining and throwing tomatoes at the screen, then suddenly going quiet when the Apple Vision Pro part finally started.
A little experiment to generate images, automatically cut out background, and make them appear in Roblox Studio. Note: these are not auto-uploaded to Roblox (that would be insane), they are local files accessed via rbxasset://textures/cats/cat.png for example.

Crazy month. Peak 874k visits in a single day to my Roblox game about a cat that smashes things, but now traffic has returned to saner levels again.

Roblox money stats from the developer conference: more than 1000 devs make over $60k/year. $680M total was distributed to devs in 2023. Average revenue for top 100 devs is ~$1M, average of top 10 is $27M. Biggest studio has 200 employees.

Q: Is GPT-3 a reliable source of information regarding infectuous diseases?
A: Yes, GPT-3 appears to be a reliable source of information regarding infectious diseases.
OK I'm convinced.

The annoying situation is when you have JS front-end, Python back-end and end up passing structures back and forth in JSON. Then on one side you either have to defy convention, or have extra code to map awesome_key into awesomeKey.
Recording NPC movements by just moving my own character, persisting to datastore, then playing it back later. Ended up being about 300 lines of luau, maybe ¼ written by GPT4.

This is amazing. What other obvious but not known by everyone tricks are there? For me ctrl-space to move between scripts was a big productivity boost.
I haven't been able to visit my home country in 2 years, so I made a game set there for fiilistely purposes. Love Roblox in that only an hour after release, already 14 people are playing it.
Been working on my next game for a bit over two months now. End is finally in sight. Just need more playtesting, fix the bugs that inevitably crop up, add some music, sound effects, additional props and animations. Could be out in December.
My Roblox spelling game wasn't doing great, so trying a rebrand. Added a story, dialogue, and an ending. If this resuscitation fails I'll announce the patient dead and move on to the next thing.
Made a program that forms a word out of candy. Thinking if I should put this online so anyone could make any word they want. However it still takes about ~2 mins to render; would need to optimize a bit more.

Interesting idea. Train the network to guess which comment would be the most upvoted on reddit. You might accidentally create a pun detector this way though.
Dalle inspired me to create a news site around the generated images. I'm rather impressed with how creative GPT-3 is with Onion-style article writing:

On Roblox you can spend months making a game, and be beaten by someone who just publishes a white room. For some reason this makes me like the platform even more.
Big YouTuber played the game I released a month ago. It's a weird feeling to see someone reading all your dialogue for so many viewers. Also so funny I'm in tears.
