Fabled Fruit
Calico/cascadia
Keyforge (for the period when it was hot and I was super into it)

The most relevant piece of media on procrastination ever produced.

It's marked "satire", so not meant to be a real quote.

An ai tool is prone to hallucinations you say? Did they not read the fine print, that these chatbots only work by hallucinating?

It's gotten bad enough I think most people notice. It's just how many layers of cognitive dissonance are they operating under.

I haven't played Outer Worlds, but in the case of the others you mentioned, yes I believe the game structure does play a part. They combine a d&d power fantasy with a dynamic narrative meant to let you drive that fantasy into distinctive flavors. Too subtle would work against some of the goals.

The unspoken part is that Silicon Valley is hoping that the “vibers” are training the AI to replace them, so they won’t need another generation of programmers after this.

It's good at a lot of things, but even where it is good you tend to need enough babysitting, especially over longer timeframes, to make it hard to objectively justify the expense. The hard part with coding is justifying that its the right code - if you don't care about bugs and security, it's fine.

Lol. To paraphrase: "It's not a bubble, because the class of people who create bubbles believes in it."

Saw isn't that complicated if you generalize the whole arc the way they did in the article, but keeping track of all the faje outs and twist endings while watching the films almost requires taking notes. On the plus side, it mostly fits together without the splinter timelines that usually appear.

I'll not disagree, but I think if this is true part of the mistake could be in learning the wrong lessons. I've dabbled in designing both, and they do diverge a ton. In board games there are many gaps and tradeoffs to let players create the experience. So the mechanism alone can be empty.

When I look at what the Republican Party wants to take from trans people there is no line they won't cross--my speech, my privacy, my body. When I look at the Democratic Party I see no line they're willing to draw.
