#TrailsIntoReverie #kiseki
A screenshot from Trails into Reverie, as the party is reviewing findings on a malevolent artificial intelligence. Juna, the plucky military school student, exclaims, "Right! We're not letting some AI decide our future for us!" The curmudgeonly Professsor Schmidt replies with a quote from his genius mentor. "'When artificial intelligence reaches that point, humanity's true value will be put to the test.'" Prof. Schmidt continues. "Those were Epstein's words when he predicted the existence of a technological singularity." "if you want to prove there's still a place for us in this new future, you'd better sprint ahead full-bore and prove it."

This guy gets it:
A screenshot of a comment by the user "Upside_of_down" that says: The thing with the video game industry is that the hypernormalization dissonance associated with "slow collapse limbo" has already mostly run its course. The industry has significantly -- if incompletely -- made the shift to a decentralized model from a model that used to be very centralized around huge studios, huge media outlets, and hugely consequential hardware releases. This new, more decentralized industry is in fact right here, right now: an increasingly lovely and diverse garden of outstanding new worker owned/operated journalistic outlets; who report, discuss, critique and celebrate typically smaller and indy developers with some great ideas (and short runways); and a gaming culture that has shifted from big corporate tentpole stuff to many sub-cultures of smaller but much more actively engaged fans.
