evolution of an idea! the last game started with hourglasses and then veered hard into a totally different direction, which was fun, BUT i was still interested in the hourglass effect this time i tried making a super light adjacency sim thing. plants spread across dirt, isolated lakes dry up, etc.

this talk description is out of date, it says 14 games but it's actually 15 now OOPS (see you wednesday!)

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
