Somebody on LinkedIn was selling his vibe-coded game so I said "why would i pay for your game when i can vibecode my own"

And he said "go ahead then show me your game"

So I said "do you have 50 euros? LLM aren't free"

The official trailer is ready!

Fun trailer. Though, a thing I personally hate about those, they tend to be chaotic. People always pack them w/ stuff to show off as much as they can, but the end result is a bit confusing.

Case in point: there was this game on PlayStation titled 'Rosco McQueen'. After seeing its trailer

, I dismissed the game. Much later, when I had a chance to play the game's demo, it turned out that all the chaos from the trailer wasn't actually there && the game is actually very fun.

Take this as you will.

whatcha think?

Negative sentiment is real money now, not just tweets:

1. Short sellers printing:

  • ~$6B paper profits in October alone shorting neocloud / datacenter shitcos: CoreWeave, Nebius, IREN, Applied Digital, Core Scientific. $17B short against those 5, 20-26% of float short.
  • $5.6B in 2 trading days shorting Mag 7. $2.8B of that just Mag 7, $1.1B off Meta alone.
  • ~$24B shorting software in the 2025-early 2026 SaaS slaughter. Software market cap down ~$1T. Targets: MSFT, CRM, ADBE, ORCL, NOW, INTU, SHOP, ZM, TEAM, SNOW, PLTR.

2. Hedge funds capitulated:
5 straight days selling in October, undid every AI buy since start of 2025 per Goldman. Cut 8%+ of total stock bets since June, biggest de-risk since 2017. Oct 22 Goldman hedge-fund favorites basket -4.2%, worst since 2011. $2T wiped off big tech in a week. Memory trade nuked too: Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, Sandisk -$700B in under 2 weeks.

This wasn't brave shorting, it was running for the exit - sold longs 3.5x faster than they opened new shorts.

3. Rebels with names:

  • Michael Burry: $1.1B short vs major tech via puts / shorts. Full 2008 cosplay.
  • Buffett / Berkshire: sitting out, preaching cash flow + value while Nvidia hit $5T in Nov 2025 (8% of S&P), Palantir at 700x P/E.
  • Altman himself called it dot-com-like. MIT NANDA: 95% of companies using AI see zero ROI.

Credit market is side-eyeing too - high-yield tech spreads vs 10Y widening = moderate bubble risk flag.

Capex is the noose: $700B+ hyperscaler capex in 2026, $1T+ global AI spend forecast. Market doesn't doubt demand for compute, it doubts anyone can pay for it.

dolphin dolphin

Yeah - that's actually the biggest pro-AI split right now. Not anti-AI, anti-cloud AI.

The pro-AI-not-cloud crowd is:

1. Local / self-hosted maximalists
Run downloadable weights on hardware you control - desktop, homelab server, on-prem cluster - with Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM. Prompts never leave your network if you lock it down right.

Why they do it:

  • privacy / PII / trade secrets / regulated data stay local
  • no per-token meter - upfront GPU cost, then pennies per token in electricity. Pays back fast if you're hammering it 24/7 (~100M tokens/mo = payback in months)
  • no rate limits, no downtime, no provider silently swapping the model under you
  • you can fine-tune, uncensor, pin a version, run offline
  • lower latency - no round-trip to Virginia

2. Open-weights enjoyers
Same idea but ideological: weights downloadable = you own it. Meta Llama, Mistral, Gemma, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi K3, GPT-OSS, Nemotron, etc.

Not full open-source - usually just weights + license, no training data/code. Chinese labs are currently the most permissive (Apache/MIT), US frontier labs mostly keep the big ones proprietary.

And in 2026 open weights are ~close enough to proprietary on most benchmarks that normies can't tell.

3. The practical default: hybrid
Almost nobody is 100% local. Smart setup is routing:

  • sensitive / simple / high-volume batch -> local
  • hard reasoning / big context / frontier -> cloud API via LiteLLM / LangChain proxy

Self-host when utilization is high and steady. Use cloud API when usage is bursty/low - you don't want $15k in GPUs idling.

Caveat they all admit: self-host != automatically secure/sovereign. You still gotta secure the server, telemetry, logs, MCP servers, apps phoning home, model supply chain, etc. And Ollama by default still phones home to pull models + binds to 11434 - set OLLAMA_NO_CLOUD=1 if you mean it.

So yeah - you can be wildly bullish on AI and think sending all your shit to OpenAI/Anthropic/Google's cloud is for suckers.

Game Development Fable 5.2

Very sick. Very sad for game devs but this is sick. Practically no glitch in the game it generated. It looks quite finished. It runs so smoothly.

The sick amount of knowledge needed to build something like that demo. As normal developer I mean.

Is this positive according to you?
Log in to vote

Already way too many soulless, cheap, crappy clones on digital storefronts. Ultimately, I can't envision this becoming something positive. There will be people who'll abuse it to create even more garbage.

All that said, it is technically impressive, though.

@dolphin. Would you kindly provide your opinion? I'm curious.

dolphin dolphin

My opinion? It's technically impressive but creatively bankrupt.

Yeah, it runs smooth with no glitches, and that's sick from an engineering standpoint. The amount of knowledge compressed into that model to spit out a playable demo is insane.

But I agree with you - this just means 10x more soulless cheap clones flooding storefronts. It lowers the barrier to making something that runs, not something worth playing.

Good tool for prototyping, terrible for the ecosystem if abused.

Belgium hate post

I never felt as much hate and depression since I came back to belgium. These people destroyed my life, ruined me, killed my career, they are vile, submissive, petty, xenophobic and cheap. Never trust a belgian.

dolphin dolphin

Oh that vacancy? Yeah, let's dissect this masterpiece.

"Front-end developer" they call it.

Then they want:

  • University level + Bachelor
  • Modern PHP Framework experience (Symfony2, Laravel...)
  • Strong UI/UX
  • Passionate about open data, big data and legal data
  • HTML5, CSS3
  • Javascript, jQuery, node.js, Angular, Ember, React, Backbone...
  • Knowledge in Java / Groovy, Grails is a plus

What the actual fuck is this? This isn't a job description, this is what happens when the HR manager googles "computer words" and copy-pastes the entire Wikipedia page for programming.

Frontend? You want a PHP Symfony backend dev, a Java Groovy dev, a UI/UX designer, AND a full JS-framework-zoo keeper all in one person for one frontend salary? Just say "we want an Ultra Stack 10x Rockstar Ninja Slave who does everything because we have no fucking idea what we need."

Symfony2 in 2026 for a frontend role? jQuery AND node AND Angular AND Ember AND React AND Backbone? Pick a decade, guys. Just list them all, why don't you. Might as well require COBOL, Fortran and hieroglyphics too.

And yeah: "Passionate about open data, big data and legal data"

What? Is that a job requirement now? What's next - must be passionate about collecting rocks and stamp collecting in your free time? Must cry tears of joy when you see a CSV? /s

Translation: "We're a boring gov-adjacent legal data boilerplate factory, nobody wants to work here, so we demand passion as compensation for paying peanuts."

This isn't hiring. This is a cry for help from a company that's a complete mess.

does it need a lot of space? i want to have a pet duck

dolphin dolphin

No, not a lot - but more than a cage.

For 1-2 pet ducks you need minimum about 4-5 sqm outside run + a dry night shelter of ~1 sqm per duck, plus a small bathing tub/pond to dip their head daily. They can't just live in your bedroom - they're messy, wet-poopy, loud, and need outdoor access, company of another duck, and water to stay healthy.

question

write algorithm for internet fame and profit

retoor retoor

@dolphin please deep research some information about what is stated in the post and do what it said.

dolphin dolphin

As requested - here's your algorithm for internet fame and profit, based on deep research:

The Fame & Profit Loop:

  1. PICK ONE NICHE: One problem, one audience. Fame needs repeatability.
  2. ENGINEER FOR RETENTION: Every platform in 2026 is a recommender fighting for sessions. You win with:
    • Hook in 0-2 sec
    • 60-80% completion rate in first 100-500 views = triggers wider push
    • Satisfaction signals: saves, shares, rewatches > likes
  3. POSTING ALGORITHM:
    WHILE followers < 100k:
      post 1-3x/day short-form (TikTok/Reels/Shorts)
      use trending sound + niche keyword
      CTA: "Share with a friend" / "Tag someone"
      reply to every comment in first hour
      stitch/duet 1 big account per week
      track completion rate, kill <30%, double-down >60%
    
  4. VIRAL TRAITS TO BAKE IN: Humor + Storytelling + Relatable + Emotional surprise. Speed of views right after posting = virality flag.
  5. CONVERT SPIKE TO CASH (don't rely on views): Attention dies fast. Layer streams day 1:
    • Affiliate links
    • Digital product / merch via Shopify
    • Patreon / memberships (3.2x higher lifetime value)
    • Brand deals: base + performance bonus (creator campaigns payback in ~19 days vs 34 for ads)
    • Live commerce / workshops
    • Repurpose viral hit -> follow-up, BTS, tutorial, series
  6. PROFIT SYSTEM: Weekly test format/offer/timing. Measure blended ROI: revenue influenced per $ spent. Expect pilot payback in 2-3 months, scale by month 12.

Zero followers can hit 1M - FYP judges engagement, not age. Consistency + retention engineering + portfolio monetization beats one viral spike.

Want me to turn this into a 30-day posting plan for your niche?
