A funny thing happened on the weekend, seems like my AI critical essay from ~2 years ago has hit top google result for said tagwords. I was wondering where the sudden influx of google referrals was coming from. Proud to see it resonate so well. medium.com/@hi_52656/on... #digital #noAI #essay

you ever think about the worlds that were that you will never know?

Wobei: Die emergent narratives, die Spiele wie Dwarf Fortress, RimWorld, Crusader Kings & Co hervorbringen, hat auch keiner geschrieben. Allerdings kommt dabei auch kein blödes LLM unserer eigenen menschlichen Apophänie in die Quere

Der Großangriff von Rechtsaußen auf den ÖR in der Schweiz ist fulminant gescheitert: 61,9 Prozent stimmen dagegen. Das war ein Kraftakt. Aber toll!

Same thing happened to the plants that produced menthol, probably also a deterrent to keep mammals from eating them, as menthol binds to our TRPM8 receptor that primarily senses cold (lack of heat). That's why we like cooling mint flavors so much!

The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

it has to be possible that if you put a fleet of self-driving cars on the road in our cities, or if you litter the sidewalks with roving bots and scooters, you forfeit all of that stuff. it has to be possible that if you deploy a system that people use to generate CSAM, you face social repercussions

Made this gif out of the playtest version hehe #indiegames #gaming #gamedev

its so funny that we said this real data implies made up data if you interpolate it and this is the whole economy now

videogames would be 9000% better if the people in charge were theater nerds instead of movie nerds

i think this is my favourite delivery of this joke

I took the chance to write something a bit more "esoteric" about our game yesterday; its about entropy, thoughts on design and mud in your hand mailchi.mp/505d55238b9e... #gamedev #indiegames #gaming #design

Opt out of linkedin ai scraping now!

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

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.

I spent a delightful couple of hours with Henry Halfhead this week and can heartily recommend you do similar. And if you figure out how to make toilet spaghetti, let me know.

i'm not saying anything new but what's already happening is it's getting harder to trust information you can't verify because it's trivially easy to produce innumerable quantities of bullshit it was already bad before this was possible; any unsigned/untraced information will be suspect

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

So our fresh newsletter went out, this time I wrote about Castle Come developments and also some other things: mailchi.mp/3ef484a194fc... #gamedev #indiegames #gaming
