Hi Dworken from Anthropic, how is that possible if Cursor uses OpenVSX?

Counter-point: I played the games that Mr. Willison said "didn't suck", and I can confirm that they actually kinda do suck, really bad, and I was really bored, overwhelmed, or a strange mixture of both, throughout the gameplay of them.

We need to not glaze it so much. It's cool that a rock put these demos together, but they're not "really fun". Not even close. The UI is pretty thanks to the Claude Design's injected stylesheet doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Also, it's been easy to make not "really fun" games since the late 90's with no-code game maker tools. Klik & Play anybody? GameMaker? The only difference is now, thanks to the hard work of Three.js and browser tech contributors—the graphics are better.

Can you blame them? Calif's unbelievably unprofessional video's leak definitely spikes the cortisol of any actual professional.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a locomotive being used as a weapon. Maybe a more apt comparison would be “nuclear fission invented nuclear fallout”, no?

Brain rot is making us incompetent, dangerously impatient, or a mixture of both.

Yes, there have been decades of talk about this already—ensuring you isolate/jail the PHP-related processes and run them with an unprivileged user, etc.

Nah, this is mainly how I filter out AI slop.
