For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.
I'm pretty sure that the one "big name" game where there's AI meaningfully changing the experience is Roblox.
You can't deny a certain effectiveness of Trump's regime. It took Putin 22 years to get to this level of evil stupidity. Trump reached it in two.
I'm a game design genius
This sort of thing disgraces all of humanity.
Anthropic vs. DoD* - A Guide For The Perplexed 🧵
1) Some time in the past, Anthropic's Claude AI was installed for use in secret DoD systems. That's not unusual - the DoD is a huge contractor.

hi, I worked in indie games for 10 years and sorry, they're also burning down. you just don't hear about it because it doesn't make the news when a studio of 19 lays off 7, even when it's 200 small studios doing that

rice is life, and I got a thread to share about rice: Park Chung-hee's obsession to make South Korea rice self-sufficient in the 1970s changed everything about the country, including your favorite Korean foods and the urban environment 🧵
Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

The most famous example (well, for a Russian) would be the Kulikovo battle that started exactly like this. However, the champions killed each other, so they still had the actual army combat too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

The fact that these sentences always end with "... which we will cram with more work for them" and not "... so we moved to a four-day workweek" really illustrate the hollowness of some AI evangelists' promises that AI will deliver us to some kind of post-work utopia.
The amount of times I sit in a call with a dreamer and their dream game is basically "everything from my favorite six games smashed together into perfect harmony and there was endless flawless content and it has graphics everyone likes" and I have to explain that making feet go on stairs is hard
I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution

Oh, also, Pacific Drive is very good.
I'm pretty sure there's still nothing better than the original Subnautica.
Incidentally, this is SUCH an LLM thing to do. AI is trained on the literature and behaves like sci-fi AIs behave; rich criminals are also "trained" on the literature...
We will reach AGI with LLMs not because LLMs are smart, but because people are stupid.
The darkly funny thing is, these are deeply unserious people. They weren't serious about actually doing conspiracy and crimes. They were (and are) LARPing. An evil conspirator is supposed to eat paper, that's what they do in the movies. And they never get comms security right, in those same movies.
