It seems like Nintendo is the only one I've heard of routinely doing it?

And I'm not sure why? I would have thought producing and refining new IP would be good to do now and again, at least releasing something novel once every few years?

Or perhaps they prefer just buying external IP.

> It's also rare you have a game that is allowed to improve the way Minecraft, Factorio, or Stardew Valley have

Honestly I think this is the hardest thing, I've spent a bit of time now trying to look at how indie works, including building out a small team to put something together and you either need to get funding, or it's pretty gruelling.

You can build something small slow and steady, but you've got to luck out and hit the zeitgeist if you don't want your project to collapse for a lack of money.

Or you have to have someone support you, I mean Stardew Valley famously was building for 4 years before they released, with his partner supporting him, that's a huge survivorship bias.

Project Zomboid is another game that comes to mind that's been being built for a long time for a dedicated community. However they managed to get a paid prototype out early, even though they had cash issues and a fair bit of bad luck.

Not sure what the story behind Factorio is come to think about it.

> and if you think you are the 'good' guy

I honestly never got why the belief that if you used this line of reasoning in practice, you were just a bad guy, that thought they were a good one, never seems to be a more common belief

I mean it pops up in media a lot, either as misguided, or deceptive characters

As someone who spent a lot of time supporting users and understanding their challenges with these tools, there's a lot of can you do X vs how can I do X, at least a 10x if not 100x difference.

IE: Model do this for me vs teach me.

Enough that I know people who have built businesses purely training people.

I do wonder whether you're comparing two different versions of chinese products?

IE, you're seeing and buying things they're selling directly, so they need to manage quality control, vs what is being sold on amazon, potentially a 3rd party seller who's cutting corners to make a nicer margin?

To add to what you're saying, that's also ignoring that having the time or ability to build really complex things in assembly is harder, higher level languages making things easier also enables people to do more complex things

Love that you're doing this, this has been on the backburner in my head for a long time, but I've never got around to it and this makes it worth looking at again.

Are there any downsides or issues that come with this setup? Easy ways to disable it for specific sites or temporarily? Especially for non-technical users?

Hey, just out of curiosity, what exactly does this mean?

    > (evidentiary below, curated above)

Specifically what is the above / below part?

Like if you said "curated below, evidentiary above", what should I understand has changed?

It would be the greatest irony if failing to manage the economic fallout of the coming AI revolution had a larger negative impact than the benefit it brings

We might just run into the worst recession in history as the heavily skewed service economy quickly runs out of customers who can afford to pay for it

Ok interesting, I've got a clearer idea of what you're looking for, the probabilities that are sprinkled in the report make a little bit more sense

Basically is this a done experience that I can have, if I'm summarising you correctly

> You can 100% predict where the weights “will take you” given a set of inputs.

Do you mean reproduce?

Sorry it's just if you are saying what your statement implying then either the model is very simple, or you've figured out something incredible

It's sort of depends on how you define done?

> Released, but content still planned

Silksong is like this, there are other games where they release patches for years?

Is done no longer supported? I ask because take any paradox grand strategy game, if I understand your rubric, they're done only if they are no longer the supported mainline game, IE Crusader Kings 2 is done, as 3 is where all the support is going?

I spotted this today, never heard about Bob Chapman before, though I've regularly watched Simon Sinek

Doing a quick search for "Bob Chapman" didn't bring up any results, so I thought it was worth sharing the interview here

He's run a successful American manufacturing firm for decades and he attributes this to his leadership philosophy of caring for his workers
