It occurred to me last night that another way to express what's wrong with OpenAI just dumping this slop on us is that it's not peer-reviewed. If any reasonable academic did this there would be disciplinary hearings. There's a process and there's a reason for the process!

if the next leg of the trip is with another airline where you don't have status, and funds are running low, you may have to enter the Repacking minigame to consolidate the bags and reduce the number of items you leave behind

The guy implementing exploding barrel physics is probably not feeling that they have more creative control over the game than, say, Hideo Kojima

you WILL have to pay for luggage to store all those souvenirs, however, unless you have earned sufficient miles to reach levels of airline status that unlock free bags just don't wait too long at the luggage carousel or you'll miss your next flight

I realize that product design and game design are significantly different fields, but in my line of work we typically think of the system (at the "game" or "level" elevation) as more "creative" than individual widgets ("objects" and "components" - in other words, reusable design system elements).

It's kind of like gamers hate playing video games more anything else, the activity and the identity are disconnected.

Lots of games already have procedurally generated dungeons, and what is an airport if not the dungeon of capitalism? Make sure to pick something up at the duty-free for your cousins (the 10,000 identical space marine clones from earlier).

You can get help from home base command, but it requires you to first figure out the Wi-Fi, or cough up the cash (subject to brutal forex rates) for a local mobile data plan

Imagine being on the other side of Papers, Please but you also need all the paperwork for importing a military-grade deadly weapon (yourself)

As a space marine, you are a perfect clone of 10000 other space marines, so getting through passport control is a massive PITA even after you take off your helmet (30 minute long minigame that requires depressurizing the suit) and then you have to re-check your luggage (space rocket launchers)

actually I take that back, that would be a way better game than Space Corridor

I see myself in this ad because I've also always wanted to make a game where you play a space marine transferring between two legs of an international flight, but the gate you're trying to get to is all the way on the other side of the terminal

"professional" accountants will never tell you this, but if you look at the data from first principles, there is an obvious strategy for tax optimization: earning wages: TAXED 🤢 going out to buy stuff: TAXED 😭 poasting on bsky: UNTAXED 🤑

Yeah but those are the premature optimization guys. Those extra 2.4 months of bug fixes are going to be critical for the baby's academic performance once they wrap up undergrad and kick off their MBA

The problem with foundational myths is that they are far too important for minor things like data to affect!

I've been to your museum and it's actually on campus rather than in a yellow wood. That could be part of the problem.

you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires
