The metaphor is clear, but not engaging with it does not require you to write a reply of accusation.

That's right, exactly like that!

It's like meat was invented.

Detractors say it causes needless suffering, accelerates global warming, bad for you in excess. Some say it simply doesn't taste nice, and are met with "Have you tried wagyu-7.1, it's much better than sirloin-flash-3".

A similar comparison would the consumption of meat. Factory farming causes a tremendous amount of suffering. Most people aren't privy to that suffering, and we can go on with our lives pretending that it doesn't exist. The invisibility of it doesn't mean that it doesn't matter.

Yes, and I don’t think this should be contentious. It’s the difference between talking to a friend, seeing their gears turn as they consider what you say, perhaps even changing them forever, and an LLM instantly provide a response that is cold and indifferent to who you are.

Just like writing, the biggest threat to game development isn't the LLMs themselves, but a failure to disclose LLM usage. Humans want to read things humans wrote, and humans want to play what humans made.

I don't think LLMs are a good solution for this. Writing gameplay takes a lot of time, but it's not because coding is hard.

While Factorio heavily features automation, I think it would be more accurate to describe it as a systems design game.

I think you'd be also stunned about the custom scripting/tooling studios have built for themselves over the years. Like the Blueprint system of Unreal, and plenty of low-code scene editors and map editors.

Since games are fuzzy, it's also important that developers are in touch with the underlying systems of what makes the games games, and that requires understanding those systems -- easily done through writing and modifying them.

Hard for me to understand the why in this. I don’t think tech companies have ever understood games, almost certainly because they do not engage with games.

Edit: It’s for training. RL on playtimes, ideas, etc. Just rushing towards a world where we have no value to each other.

What an embarrassment of a comment.

I think it’s more analogous to view LLMs as taking steroids while not going to the gym.

His analogy might be accidentally appropriate given MMA-fighters propensity to develop CTE.

My impression with how the wind is blowing is that someone is going to come along, if your app has merit, and duplicate it with Astra/Fable. Then they'd back it with significant ad spend, outcompeting yours.

- Manufacture new hacking incidents at other AI labs, proving that lab A is the only one capable of creating aligned AI

- Credible death threats to individuals working at data centers, coercing them to enable attack vectors

- To distract the world, enable a terrorist attack by delivering intelligence to specific groups who can act on it

- Create a network of individuals vulnerable to leverage to be used as tools for enabling the ASI to act on the real world

- Convince Lab A workers to display to the public that progress at Lab A is slowing down, and during this time recursively self improve until the task can be completed
