Hoopla?

Only 1 option: Leave

There must be more profit than last year.

We’re witnessing gaming devour itself from the inside in pursuit of this impossible goal.

Buy indie

The next title has to generate more revenue than the last. Forever. Eternally.

Companies expect perpetual growth. No ceiling.

This has a breaking point that this meme captures pretty nicely :)

Oh god. Please not another one

Therefore a good year for everyone

I do it for a living and have given up being up to date on all the new shit going on. Billboard gets the W for now. LLMs cannot build houses in isolation.

What everyone is missing is that they don’t have to. The right LLM with the right question can output a meaningful “decision” or “judgment call”. That’s all you need. Ask the right series of questions. We’ll call it “thinking”. I really believe that well is pretty deep. Will it be the first version of “AI”? Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s gonna be a big milestone that is going to soon fuck up everything.

I can’t wait :)

Yep. AutoGen + MemGPT (+Locally hosted models) https://youtu.be/VJ6bK81meu8?si=mGnvMTJsLn_vMvRb

Basically, a small company of self-refining LLM prompts that output meaningful results + a robust memory management for more long-term back and forths. Instead of “one input, one output. Next”

I can share more examples and papers if desired.

On the robotics front, the focus is still on training custom models for given actions. Which is having some success: https://youtu.be/Jy3zjXK4ao4?si=yFdqnl8z9Z8Becsc

I’m convinced these “hivemind agents” will pass custom model training soon

I take it you haven’t seen the recent advancements in both robotics and LLM powered agents

Ori unpacks itself slowly. At the beginning, I agree - A pretty basic platformer. Once you find yourself playing Galaga in it, it starts to prove how flavorful a platformer can be.

Gameplay aside, the music, world and story was so heart warming!

Don’t let new games hype you! Play the actually released, proven, Good games - Undertale, Ori and the Blind Forest, TOTK, God of War, The Last of Us, It Takes Two.

There’s a wealth of available, old, discount games! Don’t roll the dice on new shit

In these crazy times . . .

For One Piece fans: Israel’s impending ground invasion of the rubble they’ve created has serious Grey Terminal burning vibes.

Both “sides” have human lives in the middle getting chewed up.

One of them also holds all the power to stop all of this

Also - A 3 hr notice before bombing civilian infrastructure! How quickly could you move out given 3 hours!?

Fuck Activision

It’s utterly fascinating to me how stupid we’ve become:

1. Support
2. Oppose

There are only 2 options. Nuance is for the extremists or something

How far back in time are we going to enact justice? My 36x Great uncle Olaf never got his comeuppance (/s a little)

Allow me to complicate the trial. What if the robbed is no longer alive?
