His analogy might be accidentally appropriate given MMA-fighters propensity to develop CTE.

My impression with how the wind is blowing is that someone is going to come along, if your app has merit, and duplicate it with Astra/Fable. Then they'd back it with significant ad spend, outcompeting yours.

Lab A reaches ASI, and is prompted the following: "Permanently nullify all other AI labs".If it's ASI it would succeed.

I don't think there's enough information accurately assess this. Anti-AI movements might grow much larger than today, given AIs potential to replace jobs faster than we have the ability to create them. The movement could even resu

I think there is a meaningful distinction to be made between a human reading and an AI company consuming data without consent in order to train their models. Certainly if enough people feel the same then what AI companies are doing is &quot

I adore your games. Would be curious to know your thoughts about using AI for game development. Personally I find it gross, but I am trying to be open to different views.

A reasonable compromise in the face of frostbite and hookworm. I suppose critical thinking skills are also as bad, making you question the state of the world. Problem solving is another one, deluding one into believing there are solutions t

It's impressive that Fable 5 was able to resynthesise something like this from its training data, but I am really not looking forward to more of this. What's the point?

My point of view is that code is the experience. Dealing with the constraints of code is one of the ways game design evolves as one iterates over what could be cool and filter for what is possible.

LLMs are not beings with thoughts or feelings, and if being mean to them were to somehow yield better results it would be no different than a cheat code in a game, or just constitute as clever use of game mechanics.

The comparison fails because I don't send numbers to my potatoes either, but I do send thousands to calculators without a please and thank you. Practicing communications skills with LLMs I can get, but asserting that people who don&#x2

The similarity to human interaction is irrelevant. No one apologises to a potato being peeled, nor compliments it for doing a great job being mashed.

The two states are in no way in opposition to each other. In fact, experiencing deep meditation can improve one's ability to get into that desired productive flow.

Seems well-designed. Great job! Sorry you didn't hear back from the comittee.

The interesting bit about this physical experiment is that the water in the cup never starts at 100 celsius. That the act of pouring significantly reduces temperature is well-documented, so in some sense the LLM output is surprising.

They're entertainment, yes, but really not the same. I'll look for a specific game to play, I'll look for a specific movie to watch, and I won't play a game when I want to watch a movie.

Really think it’s entirely wrong to label someone as a bully for not conforming to current, perhaps bad, practices.

I use rust for gamedev (not bevy). I'm unlikely to consider anything else exactly because of stability and throughput.

Just as a thought experiment: Governments could mandate banks to prevent their customers from spending beyond what'll go to rent/mortgage. It'd certainly prevent overdue or missed payments. Would that be a net positive, or wo

Maybe it's not a great idea to allow a company to decide what software users can run, and I am inclined to believe that Murphy's Law will apply. Ultimately, software is freedom of speech.

Interesting tool. I do something similar when I think it's important to focus on just getting the words out: I close my eyes, or look away from the screen.

AI is already tricking people -- images, text, video, voice. As these tools become more advanced, so does the cost of verification.

Based on your workflow, I think there is considerable risk of you being wooed by AI into believing what you are doing is worthwhile. The plan AI offers is coherent, specific, it sounds good. It's validation. Sugar.

I think most programmers would agree that thinking represents the majority of our time. Writing code is no different than writing down your thoughts, and that process in itself can be immensely productive -- it can spark new ideas, grant ep

It's pretty fun, but not in any way part of the survivor-genre.
