Do you remember the Nice Orb from the Demo? The thing that lets you buy permanent upgrades? Now, it's called the Cloud Chamber and here's @casey-the-bird.bsky.social 's concept art for it :] I'll show you what it looks like in-game in the next Kickstarter update! ...if I don't forget...

A beautiful bottle-like structure with "Nuages" written on its door

This is a piece of advice I always give when I consult: you need someone to have final say. Even in a co-op, even in a group of peers. There needs to be someone who can say “okay, we are implementing this” someone has to take on responsibility for the decisions

Woah. This is good news. People may not realize it when they demand this feature, but what they're saying is "I will not buy a car which requires an ongoing subscription to remain fully functional" and it is a good sign GM may be responding to that. carbuzz.com/gm-not-compl...

Gen-AI and "AI Gaming" are nothing but the spiritual successor of NFTs and Metaverse Gaming, except 10x worse because it's built on the back of plagiarism machines that fry the oceans to produce loveless slop. I'd rather get Blanksword-Opening-Cutscened in the groin than being associated with this.

My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing. I became a professional computer toucher because they do exactly what you tell them to. Not always what you wanted, but exactly what you asked for.

LLMs turn that upside down. They turn a very autistic do-what-you-say, say-what-you-mean commmunication style with the machine into a neurotypical conversation talking around the issue, but never directly addressing the substance of problem.

In any conversation I have with a person, I’m modeling their understanding of the topic at hand, trying to tailor my communication style to their needs. The same applies to programming languages and frameworks. If you work with a language the way its author intended it goes a lot easier.

But LLMs don’t have an understanding of the conversation. There is no intent. It’s just a mostly-likely-next-word generator on steroids. You’re trying to give directions to a lossily compressed copy of the entire works of human writing. There is no mind to model, and no predictability to the output.

If I wanted to spend my time communicating in a superficial, neurotypical style my autistic ass certainly wouldn’t have gone into computering. LLMs are the final act of the finance bros and capitalists wrestling modern technology away from the technically literate proletariat who built it.

been getting back into splatoon recently #splatoon #art #oc

An octoling with cyan tentacles stares blankly past the viewer. They wear a metallic mask (Parallel Mask), a big, green parka (Forge Inkling Parka), and large boots (Force ReBoots). One of their eyes is covered by a tentacle. Style is based on the Splatoon 3 singleplayer key art.

A four-panel comic.
Flick approaches Berry. "Coffee?
He accepts it with a "Thanks!"
With dramatic lighting and an intense aura, Flick holds a bottle of soy sauce behind her back.
Berry holds out a bowl. "Pudding?"
Flick happily accepts it with a "Thanks!"
With the same dramatic lighting and aura, Berry holds a jar of mayonnaise behind his back.

Bust of a green alien with purplish-brown, curly hair, in the style of Quibble Race from UFO 50. They wear a creamish-white zip-up sweater, round glasses, and earrings with a sort of diamond shape. It's me!
