I want to illustrate how easy it is to figure out the game: https://i.imgur.com/ezLVvo4.png Took literally one message. You don't need much to totally wreck an AI, you just need to know the weak points.

It's a bit ironic that Braun is a German last name... But yeah, if they have such a problem with Grabowski's interpretation of history then it should be explained what he gets wrong, or maybe a debate? Is taking him to court ethic

The problem is that tech could be a positive force ethically and culturally, but we keep bending it to perverted ends. It seems to me that it's really the social media era that needs to end for us to start making cool things again.

No, BotW is more like a theme park than a game, and I don't understand the love for it. The game is sparse and sterile, the characters are boring and generic, the story/dialogue is cringe inducing, the world is empty and plain, an

I don't deny people the right to hate Musk, but just speaking about Twitter specifically: 1) He is turning Twitter into exactly the kind of service that social media and privacy reformists have been asking for. Flipping the economic mo

Yes, I always blame people for the things they do; to themselves, and to others. There is a time where it's excusable, like when it wasn't clear that smoking causes cancer. But when you should know, then you should know. I also un

When I say parents, I mean precisely the people who should be regulating these things and dealing with the corporations. Parents are the adults in society, so if they're not doing anything about it then no one is.

Leftists argue your mindset is a symptom of the toxic mantras of neoliberalism. It's basically a Protestant work ethic: Highly individualistic, and little sense of commonality or cooperation. Thats the reasonable argument against your

Teens don't know about this and it's unfair to expect them to. For them Insta and TikTok are part of social life, and basically necessary. Parents are obviously to blame; most are ambivalent or enmeshed in social media themselves.

This is standard proxy war stuff, and isn't even close to what's been going on in the middle east. Like, not too long ago Wagner forces actually had a direct shoot out with the US military in Syria. https://www.google.c

I don't get it, you don't know anything about critical theory? "Who are these postmodern neo-Marxists?" Herbert Marcuse, Paulo Freiri, Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, Robin DiAngelo, Patrisse Cullors, etc. I'm not so i

Actually the stakeholders are the investment firms implementing ESG programs. What you're referring to is a different kind of capitalism from what we currently have. I think it was in the late 19th century that someone first figured ou

Sorry, I'm just not interested in really arguing about it anymore except to disagree whenever I see someone act like it's not happening. There are direct parallels in modern Wokeness to Maoist history. There's a great podcast

I took on a similar project recently, and realized the data sounds boring (as anyone would), but I wonder if instead of generating notes from data you could map to a scale of motifs. If you write the motifs to seamlessly transition then you

But I associate everything you listed with the 90s... Anyway, yes and no. Yes, create your own culture, but no I don't see much of that happening right now.

Can you share some of that stuff? Where are these great movies I've never heard of? Where are the great books - can't people publish on their own nowadays? I can attest to good music being made, but it's still very slow to ev

I feel A.I. will definitely usher in a new culture. One example of the shift will be on Instagram (and any other influencer-led social media platform): How will human influencers compete with perfectly crafted A.I. influencers? Imagine a Be

I think AA "accidentally" provides people with strong community support - a basic need, the lack of which often leads people to... well, drink. AA fulfills that need, and maybe the 12 steps themselves don't work, but the comm

You mean journalists noticed a problem and never formulated an idea of the core reason for it, or examined it beyond the surface level realities of what it's done to people? That's what I'm seeing here: A kind of "hmm th

Very Silicon Valley. Time management, goals, mindfulness. Hustle bro culture that results in burnt out hustle bros. Unless someone has evidence supporting this path? What people need for personal growth is a holistic approach to living. So,

That's a very postmodern take on the art of gaming. So, supposedly slot machines are on par with chess? "Just dopamine manipulation" and "glorified slot machine" are overly deconstructive and cynical beliefs, to the

The golden age was when most modern game design principles and techniques were established, between 1993-2005 (roughly). My criticism is that this presentation by CD Projekt is not helpful but harmful to indie developers. It's clear in

The hell is he talking about? Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are way past the golden age of gaming. They have nothing worthwhile to contribute here. It's reminiscent of mobile game designers from the 2010's, and how they were making

At the behest of the government, no doubt. The Twitter Files show that the real situation is a lot more messy. Large internet "infrastructure" businesses are in partnership with government officials, so I have no reason to believe

Yes, it bothers me. It's tribalism, and that's also exactly why the US gets a pass. They've been bombing other tribes, not ours. The problem is that the world is not some kind of morally integrated system, it's glued tog
