I see these things and I'm just like - clearly whatever I'm doing and thinking about isn't ambitious enough, and also who knows what even matters any more. the machines are eating the world
I made this with one prompt using Opus 5.5
I spoke to my computer for 5mins, claude worked for 12 hours, and I woke up to this
full prompt:

You know that part of every AI-kills-everyone scenario where the skeptic says 'well then people would notice and collectively demand we shut it down'?
Well, we're testing the second half of that in real time. How's it going?

This summer I built an open world point and click game where you're a six year old who wakes up with your current memories in 2001 and has to figure this out. 2001 internet and NPC dialogue simulated by LLMs.

maybe if you had five default dialogue options or
'say your own thing' most people would very rarely say their own thing and the economics would work out in the average case?

yes, could definitely work especially at scale. your game sounds great, hope you find a good way to share it! your description reminds me of store.steampowered.com/app/2… which is fantastic, I highly recommend if you haven’t already played it

that was my conclusion too, it'll unlock an incredible new world for games when we go down 1 OOM. right now you can spend a lot of money and feel the potential at your fingertips but you can't make a commercial product

could do it with open-weight models (though in my testing for the NPCs, the Chinese open-weight models were markedly worse than Sonnet at believable rule-adhering dialogue. Astra's excellent but out of reach financially)

Games are great and you can learn a lot from games. But, I write for the Argument, 'edutainment' is usually 'a mediocre game as a bribe for doing work', not a game which is fun on its merits and also builds skills: theargumentmag.com/p/homewor…

obviously this person is specifically silly but im wondering whether this kind of desire is also distinctly masculine. do women generally have it the same way or with the same intensity?
unclear to me but seems like answer could go either way.
totally nonjudgmental abt this btw
I’m on r/men again, they’ve been asked “if you want kids, why wouldn’t you consider adopting or fostering?” And some of them replied “I want to continue my bloodline/legacy/last name.” Like… what legacy?? Jeff Smith????

Q-UP is releasing in two days! If you are an old pro starcraft korean restreamer who loves nubby’s number factory style build your own zachtronics PoE grid gameplay with an incremental twist then check it out.
Everyone else, flip a coin. If it comes up heads you can play too.

This is some very, very bold predicting. I disagree a lot, but I love taking the shot.
Reviewing last year’s Predictions, we scored 5/10. Here is a sample of our 10 predictions for next year:
- A Chinese lab tops a global leaderboard.
- AI agents make a real scientific discovery.
- Datacenter NIMBYism hits US elections.
- Trump bans state AI laws (illegally).

I've got a new game coming out soon called Q-UP. It's a coin flipping eSport -- you can play the demo now!
Please wishlist us to appease the mighty steam algorithm in hopes that it will smile upon us.

Baby Steps, the game I've been working on for 6 years with @gabecuzzillo and @maxiboch, is out on PC and PS5! We've put a feature-length film's worth of stupid cutscenes in this thing, and I hope you like them. But if not, you can skip them.... OR CAN YOU????
RTs appreciated 🙏

Heya @stiknork, do you have plans to ever release the source code for SmileBot? I really loved the experience and still think about it every now and then, and I would hate for it to dissappear into the void
