I was playing around with making a video game that played like secret hitler, but you’d use chat bots instead of others people. And the feature was going to be making them sound like actual people with different stories you’d uncover.

The amount of prompting and text wrangling I had to do to make it not sound like an over eager robot made me drop it. When it spit out a “if you like, I can show you different ways to identify XYZ” I lost it.

There’s a lot of software tools that pipe in a users prompt and execute steps blindly now. THey don’t even need to copy/paste anymore.

We’re gonna get a lot more unrelated ads in mail or linkedin solicitations.

Is the implication that Reich sacrificed his lungs to send the right note?

Yeah it’s really hard as they drive up in unmarked cars and go. A lot of times the windows are tinted and you have seconds to react.

When they were in Chicago I’d try to look for trucks, SUVs, and minivans as those were the most likely to hold a lot of agents.

I was gonna say I do know quite a few coworkers that love all this stuff.

I despise it with the passion of 1000 suns but it’s not universal.

This is like designing a Game of Thrones fighting game.

You can throw all the clever nods you want into the product. You can read the source material to high heaven and spend all the time in the world perfecting it. You can hire the best and brightest fighting game devs to come in and design the best game ever.

Fundamentally it will never work. Game of Thrones’ charm is in its politics, feeling of isolation, and world building. There’s no way to bring anything out of that in a fighting game. As soon as you put Renly against Joeffry in a match to the death anyone that’s a fan will just look at the product befuddled.

For this reality show you’re taking a franchise that’s known for its single player experience and tight top notch writing for both the games (at least 1 and 2) and tv show and stripping that away in favor of a format that encourages none of that. All it’s going to be is some weird challenge with loser kids going “OMG I WASNT EXPECTING THAT!!” and “What. The. Fuck. “ for 30 minutes. It’s not going to be good. And it’s gonna be a shit stain on the franchise.

Clot 2026 is a platform I’d donate to.

This one?

I saw people handing out cards for it at one of the ICE protests over the weekend so I’m assuming it still still active. Just doesn’t have 11 mill yet.

I remember on launch it was a fucking miracle if the PC version could get past the intro screen. The fact that it’s remotely stable now is a bloody miracle.

There’s also a national walkout day Jan 20th but I don’t know how much traction this is getting

Look at Mr. Moneybags with pan replacing money.

My god…

That can’t be real right???

Chuck Schumer rounding up other dems not up for reelection to fold to the fascist demands.

Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.

The only “charitable” take I can give this is that he’s been fighting Apple and Google over store fees and the like and that he feels like if he says that Apple/Google can do this then they should be able to restrict EGS as well.

I don’t know why CSAM AI material is the hill you’d make this point with though.

It was the young vote that did it sadly.

What the fuck is IgniteTech?
