If you build Unreal Engine games with Claude Code, install Epic's official Unreal Engine plugin first. It 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻, right inside your open editor. It can use 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 across 30+ toolsets. It edits levels, materials and Niagara effects, and handles Sequencer cameras and automation tests too. The first time, it walks you through turning on two plugins, Unreal MCP (still marked experimental in the 5.8 docs) and All Toolsets, and getting the connection set up. /plugin install unreal-engine-skills-for-claude-code@claude-plugins-official

8 years of game development, and some kid with claude code + chatgpt is making games not far from my quality. AI can give everyone the tools to succeed while simultaneously making success harder to achieve. It’s like spending years climbing a mountain, only to discover that someone built a road to the top while you were climbing.

Brands are looking to get their own gTLD in @ICANN new round of names. Big brand like @adidas , @Cloudflare and @Airbnb (think .adidas...) oh every crypto thing so .bitcoin will be a thing. And of course AI and its cousin SuperIntelligence with .agent, .llm, superintelligence, .prompt, .mcp, .openai, .anthropic all under consideration. “The last time ICANN accepted applications for new gTLDs was in 2012,” Marika Konings, vice president, New gTLD Program lead at ICANN, told @NetworkWorld . “Since then, ICANN and the community have worked to make adjustments to the next round of the New gTLD Program.”networkworld.com/article/423…

I benchmarked "Jev-killer" OpenAI Decisions API against Jev for HiringCafe.com, serving 2.5 million users. The task is to predict how relevant a user query/resume is to a job description, on a scale of 1-10. OpenAI is 2x more expensive and 5-10% worse. 🧵
Let your app choose the right model, tool, or action in near real-time with Decisions API, now available to all developers in public beta. The Decisions API makes decisions up to 10x faster than GPT-6 Luna through the Responses API.
