I've had an idea about why I hate the chat-based interface for LLMs so much.

It's like trying to figure out how to do something in a classic text adventure, where you're not sure which words will work, and using the wrong ones will do something bad/stupid/annoying.

Of course, with those, the results were deterministic, which is strictly *better* even if you get eaten by a Grue.

"Historically, surrealist stop motion animation engages its audience in exploring concepts dealing with perception and reality using a bizarre, dream-like aesthetic by manipulating physical objects one frame at a time."

I worked with Amber on #ColossalCave in VR and this is... very far out of my area of expertise but very very cool. #gamedev #animation #3D

Vuonna 1977 julkaistu Colossal Cave Adventure on ketterästi yksi historian tärkeimmistä peleistä. Colossal Cave on oikeastaan kaikkien seikkailupelien isä, äiti ja syntylähde. Modernimman version tekeminen muinaisesta tekstipohjaisesta seikkailusta onkin melkoinen kunnianosoitus.
