It’s definitely an interesting time in tech. I’ve been studying JavaScript for the past couple of years in my free time hoping to switch into web or software development. The rise of AI tools have been both a blessing and a curse. I don’t have any friends or contacts who actually work as programmers but a lot of the YouTube channels have been buzzing for at least six months now about how programmers are coding themselves out of a job, it’s too late for new developers to get into the industry because they’re about to replaced with AI ect. I don’t know how true that is but right now certainly I and a lot of other people are finding it hard to get work coding. Hopefully a lot of that is just fearmongering and people trying to write catchy headline for views though. There are plenty of other YouTubers, articles, LinkedIn posts ect saying that the job market will recover and that AI is just a tool that will help and change the way developers work, but that developer roles will likely evolve in the coming years. Regardless I think a lot of the stuff we’re seeing is really cool and it’s getting quite impressive what even common AI tools like ChatGPT can do. Career prospects aside ChatGPT has been a huge help to me when coding for all kinds of things like help with designing how a website might look, image generation, copywriting, advice on libraries ect. It’s not at the point right now where you can just tell it to code an entire website and it’ll be able to do that but it can definitely assist with coding so long as you know your coding language well enough to be able to modify and fix any problems.

You're missing out, it's delicious. It has it's own flavour, it's not like chicken or anything.

I made a website for a fake Chinese takeaway using React/TypeScript and a lot of input from ChatGPT 4o. It turned out pretty well, I think the new version of GPT has a much longer memory as I asked it to generate a bunch of images and it managed to keep the style consistent which it hasn't been able to do before on this scale. I also uploaded a photo of a menu from the local takeaway here and asked GPT to create arrays for all of the menu catagories including a name, price and description and it managed it. Such a time saver. https://golden-dragon-aberfeldy.netlify.app/

Creative Assembley have said that the next DLC is going to be Khorne, Ogre Kingdoms and Greenskins. So it looks like all of the rumours were false which is great news. There's more info coming on the 26th and possibly a new roadmap.

I use chatGPT quite a bit, and for the most part while it's been pretty good at sounding professional but whenever I've asked it to communicate like a real person would speak or to tell a joke it hasn't really sounded authentic or funny. ChatGPT 4o seems a lot better at this though. I asked it to tell me a joke in the style of Louis CK and this is what it came up with and it's amazing; "You ever notice how people say 'sleep like a baby'? Really? Like a baby? Have you ever met a baby? Babies don't sleep! They wake up every two hours screaming and demanding attention. You want to sleep like a baby? Try downing three espressos and letting a raccoon loose in your bedroom. That's baby sleep for you. I want to sleep like a cat. Those guys have it figured out. They sleep 18 hours a day, wake up just long enough to eat and give you a look that says, 'You’re still here?' Then they go right back to sleep. That’s the life, man. I want that!"

A lot of people are upset with this because there are rumoured to be about 4-6 DLC left before they end Warhammer 3's support and that means a third of that would be Cathay who just had an update The main point of their argument is that there are other factions that could use extra units and mechancis a lot more, which is true, but it still improves the game to have more units and characters regardless of which race is updated. I'd rather get the Khorne and Slaanesh DLC to finish fleshing out the chaos god factions but I'm sure whatever Creative Assembley release will still be good so I'm happy to wait and see what they come up with.

Maybe that is partly tied to the difficulty? I always play on normal because I don't like the way the difficulty slider works by buffing the ai with extra gold and units with stats that are inflated quite dramatically, I really wish it would just make the AI more intelligent. In my experience a group of order or chaos factions will ally with each other and then dominate pretty early on, but I've been part of that order/chaos tide just as often as I've been against it.

Hi everyone, I don’t know if there are many Total War players here but it’s mainly been the only game I’ve played for well over a year now. I used to love roleplaying games and anything with a story but I just don’t have time for them anymore. Warhammer 3 is brilliant for just wasting a couple of hours without any pesky story details or character builds to keep track of. For those who don’t know, this is obviously the third game in the series and with each sequel they’ve combined the previous races, DLC and maps to make a giant mega-campaign called Immortal Empires. The game is pretty huge by now but there are still a couple of factions that feel a bit limited or outdated compared to the others and originally the plan was that Warhammer 3 would get several more years worth of DLC. In a recent DLC called Shadows of Change there was massive community backlash due to the DLC being released at a high price with a lot less content and polish than fan felt the DLC was worth, then also there were a couple of PR disasters with badly handled public statements and heavy handed forum moderating. Sega have recently done two rounds of layoffs at Creative Assembly in no small part in relation to this, which is a shame because the most recent DLC Thrones of Decay was very well received and things have got a lot better on the PR front. Rumour has it that the plan has now changed and that the game will only get I think around one and half years worth of support and around 4-6 more DLC. If true this really sucks because there was still a lot of really cool things that could potentially be added to the game. Most if not all of the tabletop races have already been added but CA have added quite a lot of obscure things from Warhammer lore into the game and in some cases almost entirely created races from scratch which have turned out really well. Plus they’ve made this giant world map and two regions of the map are very conspicuously off limits. I think at this point, if the rumours are true which is looking increasingly likely, I’m hoping that CA will at least do a DLC for the last two chaos god factions and also release a rework for Norsca who probably need it the most out of all the races. But even though if they stopped working on the game immediately I think there’s certainly enough content and the game is stable enough to declare it finished already, it does sting knowing that there is so much really fun stuff they could have added to the game still that will probably never be implemented now. Because despite everything CA have proven that they’re a really talented studio and despite all the problems the TW:W series has faced, it has been an incredible trilogy and accomplishment for them. What do you guys think? Do you think the game is about to get scrapped in favour if Total War 40k or some other title? What do you think about Warhammer 3’s lifespan possibly being greatly reduced but them doubling down on Pharaoh? That rumour is wild, I mean it looks very much like it’s true but as an outside observer that seems like such a strange decision given that Pharaoh absolutely bombed at launch and Warhammer 3 has been CA’s main title.
