>simply because interacting with the environment might be a prerequisite for developing consciousness. We can't even define what consciousness is yet, let alone whats required to develop it.

Helldivers 2 over-tuned because they wanted to keep things in the difficulty levels they envisioned, and people were simply vocal because they wanted a power fantasy. Space Marines 2 delivered on that desire better than Helldivers 2 did. I

That's not really being competitive. You're not competing against the people in your squad.

I think the real reason for focus on multiplayer is that it keeps the game fresh without things that are really half-baked like procedural world gen. That drives engagement- keeping people playing- which gives companies more opportunities

I wouldn't say its a dying breed. I think you see more non-competitive co-op games now than competitive multiplayer, especially with the huge success of games like Space Marines 2 and Helldivers 2 and the massive flops of Concord and

I don't care about not having IDE integration with this - this is a solved problem that I don't care about. It would be nice to have two-way synchronization though so I could run code locally, edit it with my local editor (not ID

Like I said, as long as you're not flying around- moving within it, then your inner ear doesn't care. Turning your head doesn't count. I don't see a need in a code-in-VR system to move like that. And most VR games solv

I think they're both overhyped by sci-fi optimism but I would agree (even being mostly an AI minimalist) the impact of LLMs (and their improvement velocity) is a lot meaningful to me right now. I mean satellites are cool and all.

Except the indisputable public interest in having information about the person sitting on deck for the most powerful position in the world, as opposed to the prurient interests in seeing leaked nudes.

Private space agency and LLMs both seem like big industries going nowhere driven by sci-fi hopes and dreams.

It looks like a cool feature to an existing IDE but trying to sell it and forking VSCode as your own editor to try to sell seems like an uphill battle. Best of luck to you though.

I hope our code-editor-in-VR wouldn't involve flying around like hilarious depictions of "The Gibson" in bad sci-fi movies.

>I would be surprised if OpenAI was a whole digit percentage of their revenue. As opposed to? The euphemism "I wouldn't be surprised" usually means you think what you're saying. If you negate that you're saying

I think OpenAI took this play right out of one of its founding donors playbooks. Pretend your company has lofty goals and you can get people to compromise to moral relativism and work superduper hard for you. These people definitely have

I interpreted it to mean it must have a USB-C to charge, not that _if_ it has a port it must be USB-C. Then again I'm not an EU regulations lawyer so thats just my interpretation.
