My thoughts on this:

1. This is a world we live in now. I personally was not interested in the politics in the slightest, but since 2022-ish it wasn't in the cards to not pay attention to what happens around. For some groups of people this forced political awareness started even earlier.

2. The output of the models is very aligned with the owner's political views. You can verify this by comparing the answers to a simple philosophical questions, like the railcart dilemma, nature of power etc.

3. I don't (again, personally) think that being a hardcore nerd should implicitly mean i'm apolitical. Moreover, i think it's unavoidable for a nerds (as in, above average IQ, degree, medium to high income) to be aghast at any notion of the government being a police state, fascist or a communist.

Sorry to bring even more politics here, but, again, it's unavoidable in the current situation, i think.

Danzig or war? (Hoi4 reference)

Jokes aside, this sounds terrible. What are the policies in place to prevent this?

What stack are you using?

Sure they do -- but once you introduce at least one custom component (i.e. hexagon map), it's actually not straightforward, how to integrate it with the rest of the controls.

I can't say whether it's me who's stupid, or it's just not very easy to make good UI in game engines. I don't say that's not doable of course -- i'm just saying one would need to invest quite a bit of time to work out how to do this.

Personally, i don't think the coding part of game development was not a bottleneck.

Just try to implement, for example, a hexagon-based isometric game. There are no off-the-shelf implementations -- you'll need to redo the pan / zoom / click controls yourself, you'll need to implement the pathfinding, map layers, interface state machine etc etc etc

This is still not an easy task -- to build a somehow complicated game. If you're building a platformer -- sure, that's doable. Strategy/4X/RPG? That's different.

Another purpose of code, as in software, is to be readable (aside from being executable). There's a million ways to do the formatting, and i would prefer people to use linter when they write code (hopefully, the same linter i'm using).

Those languages enforce a standard syntactic structure; there are less ways to write unreadable code, which is a good thing.

It would be awesome to see the applications of that to assist blind people / replace vision altogether

Worked in a medical start-up in one of the country's biggest incubators, but eventually uncovered that the whole thing was a scam. All what management did is launder the money to themselves with no actual product in sight. I was responsible for the pilots and demos to the municipal hospitals and government officials, and i regret i've spent ~year to help them cover their crimes.

The management guys are not in prison and i think will never be.

I believe there are enormous amounts of resources which enable people to self-tech the basics of coding. I partially agree -- but it's not an absense of possibility, it's absense of motivation. I think it's exactly because modern systems are opaque to a beginner
