I started working on #ARCRaiders nearly 7 years ago when it was just a bunch of wild ideas in documentation and concept art sketches.
It's cool to see how many of the original ideas made it in - this launch trailer really captures how fun and epic the game turned out to be:

It's now 2026 and Google Drive *still* doesn't support making an entire folder available offline on Android? 😕

Extremely disappointing from someone who could have been (and still could be, if he tried) a good role model.
But no, just obliviousness and lack of care on display here. What a shame :(

John Carmack continues to be a giant disappointment. Romero is King of Doom Johns.

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.
Andrew Kadel @DrewKadel@social.coop My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen. Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again: When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?" If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing! But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else. It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.

I was not expecting this kind of video to come out of a game I've worked on, but I'm really happy it has.
Very interesting stuff, all people interviewed inside #ARCRaiders:

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.

But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

If anyone wants to know why there's a chicken called Scrappy in #ARCRaiders, it's actually quite a nice story...

This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.
Al is also changing how we communicate. With so little free time and so much pressure to be perfect, many who've never cooked a turkey might have a chatbot walk them through the steps, feeling safer asking "stupid questions" in private. People even report using Al conversation prompts to get lively discussions going at the table. Al can generate the toast, the prayer, the party games and the poem read before dessert.

I was playing Warcraft 2 and Quake as a kid when I found out you could use the tools to make maps, and then I learned you could edit the images and models by unpacking and repacking them using tools, and I made my own versions of various things to change the games. And I never looked back 🤓

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Compilations of 15 second Sora videos posted on accounts like this are already doing big numbers, along with Sora generated rage bait. Legislation should require AI detection tools to be an integral part of the posting process, and tag likely AI generated posts and lower their algorithmic ranking.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?" Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ?? In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria An account called MAGA scope writes: Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan? The account is based in Nigeria. An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only." The account is based in Morocco. An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?

Well worth a watch if you want a little peek behind the game dev curtain!
...and if you want to see me get hand-wavey about gameplay 😂

The first episode of the Arc Raiders series we produced for Embark is now live.

For years folks were asking what happened to the original PvE hero-shooter version of the game.

Well, now you know…

If you find your Raider Den in #ARCRaiders is overflowing with the Rubber Ducks you so carefully looted and extracted with, that's my fault. I'm not sorry! 😅
