On #WorldParkinsonsDay really proud and honoured to know @ems_lawton who champions for people with Parkinson’s Disease and shows the world every day how remarkable she is ❤️❤️❤️💪🏻
#WorldParkinsonsDay Big Life Fix: Emma loves drawing but her battle with Parkinson's stops her from even writing her own name. In 2016, Innovator and Inventor Dr @Haiyan Zhang attempts to make her dreams possible again. 💪👩🔧

Microsoft makes an AI-generated Quake AI hater: “This is utterly disgusting” Creator of Quake (himself): “This is brilliant” Never deleting this app 😂
@rubyrangerr What? This is impressive research work!

AI will ultimately be a powerful tool in the toolbox of every programmer, artist, and designer, just as high level languages, paint programs, and visual scripting were in previous eras. The opportunities available to everyone should ultimately increase as a result.
@rubyrangerr I think you are misunderstanding what this tech demo actually is, but I will engage with what I think your gripe is — AI tooling trivializing the skillsets of programmers, artists, and designers. My first games involved hand assembling machine code and turning graph paper

@Copilot AI model capability 2/3: Crouching, armor pickup... Within the AI model environment, the user is able to crouch (press c) and enter a hidden level area, then pick up armor. Try it here: https://t.co/hqGoOu0CaW

I wrote an article about design & AI. AND at the end watch a live coding session I did with my daughter, where we use @simtheoryai to vibe code a game about a flying tophat with eyeballs shooting hairbrushes out of the sky https://t.co/iIywdhPRhX

🌱 Design has always evolved through new materials—wood, fiberglass, pixels. Now we’re entering a new era: AI as a design material. Artificial intelligence as a new medium to shape. I wanted to start a dialogue and explore: - How generative AI mirrors past material revolutions -

Someone referred to this as like the movie Ratatouille, so I made this image with @midjourney — after wrestling with the GPT-4o content policies

My daughter and I have been spending time together coming up with game ideas and sketching them out with AI vibe coding. It’s a fun way to quickly turn a conversation into a playable app, with only a few sentences to the LLM. I love this as a new powerful tool in digital

Correcting kids homework just got a lot faster. ChatGPT still making some simple mistakes in geometry and multiple choice, but still a smidge better than my brain can process in parallel.

Vibe coding is a VIBE. My daughter and I have been using @simtheoryai creating a mini mini game. https://t.co/1LaTlSpkDX

Really impressed with @XREAL_Global AR glasses. Going to try them out on my flight home from #GDC2025. So good to see @RalphJodiceJr and what exciting stuff he’s been up to since our days working on Xbox together 😎🎮🎉
