Pope Francis has done much to transform the Catholic church into a more progressive and inclusive institution. If not for his papacy, it was somewhat likely that the church would drift too far from Millennial values to keep its former relev

We could score comments with sentiment analysis. AI, though not necessarily LLMs, can do it very well. Depending on how child comments reflect on the parent, the parent could be scored for relevance, agreement, helpfulness, or any other met

I had a mini stroke that was classed as a TIA at the time, though it later turned out to have some lasting effects. It's a fascinating and overwhelming experience to unlearn reading. To me, the immediate physical aspect was that all te

The demo video is very impressive, and it shows what AI could be. Our current models are unreliable in research, but if they were reliable, then what's shown alone would be better than AGI. There are 8 billion+ instances of general int

It’s why we have warnings to investors saying past performance is not an indicator of future returns.

My point is that narrative-driven funding is very often the wrong approach. Before people polish their storytelling and pitch decks, they should look at the fundamentals of their business. Then, they probably won't need the whole start

You ask it for negative feedback, and it generates a negative feedback text. There's nothing helpful there — it's a catastrophizer's Swiss Army knife. Solid businesses with a real chance at an upside don't need much conv

This could go badly if it ends up in the mass adoption-enshittification pipeline.

That's very interesting. It seems to assume AI agents will have the same evolutionary imperative as other species. But without the ecological context, it looks like an unfounded premise. Why would AI play the 4X game, considering the i

It sounds a bit like shifting the Overton Window to manufacture consent. I'm sure some people probably tried to do it.

Or maybe the internet. People love to dramatize these things.

The "terror of global catastrophe" is what doomscroller media constantly hammers onto its readers. And once someone has "bought in", it's impossible to reason with them. They'll just forever spread anxiety arou

I agree with you about ChatGPT "facts", but the parent commenter shared valuable information with a source. No need to treat them in such a rude way.

It wouldn't look out of place in the Severance intro.

That's true. And it doesn't even have a display on the other side — how will you yourself know if you're busy?

It can also be done with a bit of cardboard that says “Busy”.

Yes, very good point. They will sometimes try to normalize it, which makes it hard to spot.

As someone in game studio leadership, I found UK business loans easy to access up to 1:1 debt-to-assets. Perhaps it was different in the 90s. And I can understand if it's a scrappy start-up with no assets, though the older I get, the m

This is a major "vector" of abuse in the games industry. Right now, you could go on certain Discord servers and find tens of jobs that "can't pay right now" but will have various benefits in the future. I'm hap

My first client in video games was the same. They rarely paid their contractors on time (the payment was months late), or it wasn't the entire agreed sum. We kept sending in late payment notices to their finance guy, and they fired us

By the way, the games you named are called black hole games. They capture players and don't let go. They are scarce (about 1 in 40,000-60,000), and many industry issues don't apply to them. For example, market oversaturation isn&#

I think the old ones were more trustworthy, as the LLM wasn't used for knowledge retrieval. Instead, it wrapped around a search API and summarized the "10 blue links". That's not the case anymore. Now they produce the se

It's not so much optimism as facts. Large AAA game companies have driven away investors[0] and talent[1]. The old growth engines (microtransactions, live service games, season passes, user-generated content, loot boxes, eSports hero sh

I was among the first to champion AI search, even before Perplexity rose to fame. You.com was the first AI search to quote sources well, and I used it extensively. But now, the veracity of most LLMs' responses is terrible. They often i

It's hopeful because AI has not devalued creative human labor but increased its worth. Similar to how if one were a skilled chef, they didn't start working for McDonald's when it came to be, but for a restaurant that pays sig

AI is the latest "overwhelmingly negative" games industry fad, affecting game developers. It's one of many. Most are because nine out of ten companies make games for the wrong reason. They don't make them as interactive

There is a small, hopeful flipside to this. While people using AI to produce art (such as concept art) have flooded the market, real skills now command a higher price than before. To pull this out of the games industry for just a moment, im
