I'm scared of scanning QR codes like my parents are scared of clicking links in emails.

@meuon Lmao, that's such a brilliantly simplistic intruder alarm.

@thecrobe Okay, I definitely have to try that.

@Maunto Yeah, I started working with it in only 2D too. This was built in the 4.0 beta. So far, I'm really impressed. Everything has been relatively simple (once you figure out Godot's names for things).
In particular, the functionality for mesh instancing the trees was crazy easy to use.
Also, the terrain in the above picture uses a custom shader built in Godot's "Visual Shader" designer (comparable to Unity's "ShaderGraph").

@pistachios Purportedly, a western. But it'll probably never come to fruition (scoped way too big for a single developer), so it's really more of a tech demo to see how far I can push Godot.

We thought achieving true AI would be difficult because human intelligence is more complex and varied than anything else we know.

And, it turns out that's still mostly true.

But what we didn't realize back then is that we're so predictable and habit-forming that we can be easily imitated by much dumber algorithms.

I'm not entirely sure I want to unpack that.

@joelmartinez I've got a strong hunch that this is it running into an artificial barrier put into place to prevent copyright claims. It's probably forced to feign ignorance about any material that's heavily DMCA'd online.

@Maunto C# and #Godot

@aramsinn Given how those tools work, this actually a great sign about how much academic work is available on the internet for students (and AIs) to access!
