I was so so happy to give an invited talk today at EXAG, a workshop I co-founded over ten years ago! It was quite a personal talk about how research communities grow and change (and die sometimes), what generative AI means for our community today, and the value of weird, pointless research.
Starting off Day 2 of EXAG with Mike Cook's @mtrc.bsky.social amazingly titled keynote 'Being Weird at the End of the World'. Really looking forward to this talk!

We're back with an EXAG speculative game jam! We do be speculating (I am not a fan of the technologies we have been tasked with discussing, but I liked the idea of the jam!)

Our group came up with a game dev simulator type game, except you're an evil AI company

by the way, for any oomfies that dont know about my research work that are confused why im suddenly tweeting about ai please understand i'm referring to ai as in smash cpus (or like, level generation), not as in chatgpt.

yes. it is very confusing that they use the same term. i do not support genai.

Looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues in Edmonton this week for AIIDE! I'll be trying my hand at live tweeting the paper sessions at both the main conference and EXAG/INT, which I'll try to keep in this big reply thread (starting off tomorrow). @aiide.bsky.social @exag.bsky.social

its really amusing to compare the complete marketing difference of sdr2 and 2x2, where sdr2 took leverage of the sleepy gamer gf to try to appeal, 2x2 knows the full truth that to danganronpa fans the true thirst trap is Nagito Komaeda
