Well know that you have outed yourself as a cool indie dev you must eventually post some sneak previews of your game to a gaming/game development community on lemmy/the fediverse!

The Way Home

That experiment was massively flawed to the point of uselessness.

Lina Khan is now co-chair of Zohran Mamdani’s transition team!

They are there to disgruntle you, is that not enough!?

Can we get a halmark movie about this please.

The control scheme in Total Annihilation where you can que up lots of commands for units has largely been ignored by RTS game makers except in Supreme Commander and Spring/Recoil engine games such as Beyond All Reason and Zero-K. I think it is a perfect example of why the RTS genre in many respects died after hyperfocusing on making Starcraft-likes resulting in the stagnation of innovation in a genre that progressively catered more and more only to a very narrow range of brains/players who enjoyed simplistic explicit rock-paper-scissors unit relationships and endless fiddly micro.

You are right we did and yet I still couldn’t help myself.

Ha, but we have an ace up or sleeve with the hard hitting maverick Chuck Schumer!

my bad

I have an executive function disorder, ads literally prey on my disability even as society laughs at the idea of attention being something other than a product of pure limitless willpower.

eew

My desire to polish off personal artistic musical expression into forms aesthetic enough for others to pay attention too is largely gone, I think people are far more interested right now in broken visions of human art thrown into a woodchipper and disfigured into lifeless forms on demand than humans making art. Obviously not everyone, but materially I think society is now very hostile to artists for a variety of reasons (largely cost of living increases).

Game development is even worse than music, it has become an extremely toxic, brutal industry and I don’t recommend to anyone even though I love videogames (and music).

Palantir is a scumbag company that profits on selling the machinery of oppression to authoritarian governments and entities.

I actually got doxing/threats of physical violence here on lemmy for pushing back on idiots claiming being against AI was like being racist, these people are insufferable and no matter what they think their intentions are, the consequences of their ideology is a sweeping under the rug of actual injustice, systematic prejudice and violence.

Fundamentally what is evil about AI is that it is part of a growing global movement towards increasingly not seeing value in human beings but rather in abstracted forms of capital and power.

Irrespective of how well AI works or how quickly it evolves, what makes it awful is how it is in almost every manifestation it is a rejection of the potential of humanity. Cool things can be done with AI/pattern matching technology, but the thinking that gave birth to and arose around these tools is incredibly dangerous. The social contract has been broken by an extremist embrace of the value of computers and the corporations that own them over the value of human lives. Not only is this disgusting from an ethical standpoint, it is also senseless, no matter how powerful AI gets if we are interested in different forms of intelligence we MUST be humanists since by far the most abundant diversity of intelligence on earth is human/organic and this will continue to be the case long into the future.

What defenders of AI and people with a neutral opinion towards AI miss is that you cannot separate the ideology and the technology with “AI”. AI in its meteoric economic acceleration (in terms of investment not profit) is a manifestation of the desire of the ruling class to fully extract the working class from their profit mechanisms. There is no neutrality to the technology of AI since almost the entire story of how, why and what AI has been has been determined by the desires of ideologies that are hostile to valuing human life at a basic level and that should alarm everyone.

Shout out to the free Librivox recording read by Stewart Wills, it is how I listened to the book and I recommend it.

For some reason it is not mindblowing to me that the Microsoft AI CEO is astronomically out of touch with normal people.

I think it is probably the behavior of Microsoft as a company that makes me feel that way.

Then unionize! Nothing else will stop this.

Disc Golf!
