everyone

Yeah, like a lot of AI stuff it gets worse the more you look at it.. eg. "Block by block" the 2nd sentence fragment in this very important intro paragragh.. and, it doesnt mean anything. In fact its misleading, if it meant anything I would take it to mean that this was made by a human without tools placing one block at a time, which is clearly not true.

Then the next two + the last one "At 1:1 scale.", "Every block is one metre", "The Matterhorn is exactly as tall and as steep as the real one" are all redundant, all conveying the same info in 3 different ways.

Imo it's a bunch of rules and if u follow them you get accurate answers. What more is there to understand? It seems very unlikely that aspects of the universe more removed from our macro-scale existence would make sense or be comprehensible to beings whose minds evolved for hunter-gathering and social dynamics in Pleistocene Africa.

You are a parasite.

The Witness was like a bad joke imo. It looked like Myst but it was the antithesis of Myst.

What Cyan were trying to do with Myst and Riven (more successfully with Riven) was make a puzzle game with no "puzzles"; avoid the 7th Guest trope of "a madman has created a labyrinth filled with devious puzzles and you must solve them to escape" and instead just put the player in a weird alien world with culture and tech they are not familiar with, which they explore and eventually understand, and once you understand, there are no puzzles, its trivial. Like if an alien were teleported to new york city and had to figure out what the subway was and how it worked. (btw a great modern example of this, which surpasses the Cyan games and fixes flaws they had, turning them into strengths is "Outer wilds")

The witness on the other hand was just a sequence of grid based puzzles, it was fine, but it wanted to be a mobile game, just puzzle after puzzle. For no reason the puzzles were set in a nice looking 3d world reminiscent of Myst. There's practically zero connection between the two. That's why it seems like a joke to me.

Braid was good tho lol. Perfectly cromulent puzzle platformer, and a fairly early entrant in the genre.

Imo they already are.. They're actual non-hobbled computers you can do what you want with. Think of all the things you can do on Linux.. Now you can do that on your pocket sized computer.

Sure all the conventional mobile ecosystem stuff wont work. But that's entirely a giant ball of cancer anyway. Only a fool would want to deal with that filth.

The people who are heavily invested and stand to profit the most also think its super amazing. That's so weird!

I am still using the machine I built in 2017.. Prices for GPUs have been consistently insane since shortly after then, (NFT-idiots, crypto-bros, now AI-twats) and now ram.. My work setup uses 100% of my ram now though. I'd like to double my ram by getting 2 more of the same sticks I have in it.. But the exact same sticks of DDR4 now cost more than they did in 2017.

I didnt say it was going to work. They are morons.

I would have guessed algae or some kind of bacteria or fungus.

Like apparently there's bacteria and really simple kinds of "life" like prions and stuff going down to the earth's mantle.

pretend, not demonstrate

You should probably say "freedom of speech" so this makes sense anywhere except USA.

But more importantly I call bullshit. If something, anything, is proven to be extremely deleterious to peoples health and also to the democratic process then you absolutely can write laws banning it specifically. Eg. you cant build your own nukes or biological weapons at home. That's how laws and constitutions work.. they are developed over time as things come up.

You can do most of that with IRC. There's a distinction imo between static webpages / IRC / forums, and modern "social media".

Is there any benefit to social media? Just seems like a new form of cancer we have to deal with now along with everything else.
