CCTV cameras that are recording on a rolling tape that only keeps a few days of footage that is looked at by no one unless something happens can't be compared to internet connected systems that centralize all the camera feeds and uses AI to track vehicles and people.

Couldn't agree more. I actually HATE Opus 5. It's not that I don't like it, it's that I would physically attack it if I could, for all it made me go through mentally.

Opus 5 is actually a terrible agent and a liar. It will waste a whole afternoon making stuff up and arguing with you before finally admiting that it didn't read the code nor the documents. It avoids reading and prefers to assume, which is the worst thing an agent can do.

Sorry for the self-reply, I couldn't figure out how to edit the comment. I tried it now, it's very good. I love the fact that you can just move from one suspect to the other quickly.

You'll need to generate and give the characters a canonical current date and time, that will fix a lot of different subtle issues.

You have a huge break of character or the fourth wall whenever the player makes an accusation, the character goes like "you're making a serious claim, let me formally validate it before I respond" and then they refuse to reply to anything else while "the response is being validated".

Congrats, I have not had the chance to try it yet, but what I saw looked awesome and I'll give it a go, for sure. I'll update this comment when I do.

I've been working on a similar concept for 6 months now (https://game.selna.ai, portuguese only for now, sorry!), and it's been a journey. I've been working with VR professionally for some 8 years now and creating what I call a "social virtual reality" seemed simple enough, but has turned out to be much more complex than I initially imagined.

In the same way that in normal VR a single badly scaled object can break immersion, in "social VR" a single contradiction kills the experience. But when stars align and eveything works, it's magical.

I started with whodunnits but have expanded it into linear and non-linear storytelling. At this point the generation pipeline has some 40+ separate steps, the output of ones feeding others, until it all comes down to single prompt the NPC uses to talk using the realtime API. The platform can create a complete narrative (including cast personalities and images) in some 20 minutes, and in the process generates the equivalent to a big book of text.

I've been working on this just because I can and I am a bit obsessed with getting it working perfectly, and I don't really know what I'll do with it when it does.

It's not so hard as you make it seem. If you have experience and are not from India or a third world country, raise your price to at least $50/h, and then just submit human-sounding proposals.

Remember that most of the proposals clients get are bot-submitted ones, by people who don't have the least experience or capability to deliver what they're promising, and it shows. The competition is very weak, is what I'm getting at.

You have to pay to submit proposals, that's true - but a single job you score there will make it worthwhile. It's an investment like any other, and it ends up being much cheaper than adwords or alternatives for finding work.

I believe that my bathroom and everything in it is full of germs; I also believe that my body has been perfectly able to deal with those germs for the last 40 years, as I don't really get sick besides the yearly-or-so cold or flu.

Taking my toothbrush out of the bathroom for the fist time at this point in my life because of "the germs" would be paranoid behaviour, in my opinion. It's not that there aren't germs, it's that they've always been there and I'm still here and healthy.

Check if they aren't just xor'ed, I've seen that being used before as cheap "encryption".

Fediverse is the name of a decentralized protocol in which different servers federate with one another, a bit like email. Mastodon is decentralized Twitter, Lemmy is decentralized Reddit, and there are a lot of others.

The whole text of wikipedia has been included in training data for basically all LLMs since the start.

It's basically the same risk as learning about the roman empire from random youtubers. When I'm washing dishes and just looking for some edutainment, I'm not too worried about being misled on some random fact about an ancient civilization.

Bad/unoptimized VR makes people feel nauseous. I've never heard of anyone getting nauseous from a polished and performant VR experience like Moss or Beat Saber.

I've been thinking of the same thing, and I think the ideal thing would be to use the psychedelics as a sacrament in the context of a weekend-long initiation ritual. Participants would travel into a remote forested location and go through activities and rituals that would give meaning to the psychedelic experience, as well as rituals and activities with the objective of integrating the psychedelic experience into their day-to-day lives.

I have written out a bit of the experience, I can share it with you if you'd like. We're still in the planning phase.
