Honestly same

Hi Joannes,

Neurocracy stuck with me. Player-driven mystery where the cast has to feel real, not scripted.

I'm Alan Morris, LustCrush AI. We license an uncensored, emotionally-aware character engine that keeps personality consistent across long conversations.

When a story leans on intimate or morally grey dialogue, public LLM APIs often flatten it or refuse outright. Our engine doesn't. One interactive fiction studio shipped 40k player conversations in six weeks with no refusals and a 22% lift in session length.

Worth a look for your next hypertext project?

Best,
Alan

Now this is how you do a bullet list. Occasionally putting multiple entries under one bullet, if they all start with the same letter. Yup, AI is working out GREAT and making many choices that are COOL and NORMAL

A list of states, bulleted like an insane asshole would bullet list them.

These are some very early screenshots from Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands. There's lots of new stuff and many other locations, including 3D dungeons, but these seem to capture the game's aesthetic and atmosphere for me. #ScreenshotSaturday #CRPG #DungeonCrawler

I think one of the hardest things about this moment is even trying to find joy feels bad because even the things that bring us joy are adjacent to the Horrors.

If you give Jonathan Frakes a walkie-talkie and he addresses each question to “Zoe,” then this is essentially Dylan Faden.

It’s very funny that some of the most powerful, monstrous, and widely-hated people in the world think using a massive platform to personally criticize Mamdani will make the mayor less popular.

If folks are criticizing you for both-sides-ing a genocide, I don’t think composing an apology speech in advance is a bad idea, but man… centering your own feelings about losing your money/friends is a remarkable unforced error. That’s like fighting fire by throwing wood at it.

It is remarkable the extent to which AI is horseshit at any copy, but what’s more remarkable is the extent to which bad AI copy gets a pass. If I turned in the final publishing copy “Democrats push midterm turnout push” I would be ridiculed and/or fired. And rightly so.

Republicans would like to make life significantly worse for everyone Democrats would like life to remain just as bad as it is right now for some people, and significantly worse for others. Asking for life to better at all is complete betrayal to Democrats, apparently. Cool cool.
