⚠️ Shuhei Yoshida warns that following TRENDS blindly can be deadly for indie developers: chasing hype eats originality and ups the risk of failure.
He breaks down how copying popular formulas turns games into indistinguishable clones, kills room for experiment and player love, and names his favorite indie titles that deliberately buck the mainstream

US Secretary of State Antony #Blinken warns that #Israel risks becoming #indistinguishable from #Hamas if it continues to fail to protect civilians amid the Gaza war.
“What happened after October 7 could have ended immediately if Hamas had stopped hiding behind civilians, released the hostages and put down its weapons,
but Israel is not Hamas.
Israel is a democracy;
Hamas, a terrorist organization. Democracies place the highest value on human life, every human life.
As it has been said, whoever saves a life, saves the entire world,” Blinken says during a press conference in Brussels, quoting a Jewish proverb.
“That’s our strength. It’s what distinguishes us from terrorists like Hamas.
If we lose that reverence for human life, we risk becoming indistinguishable from those we confront.”
OK - I've just tried the new voice chat feature on #chatgpt 4.0 and I feel like I've experienced the #future we were promised in #startrek and other #scifi #fiction. It's #uncanny. The #conversation was verging on totally #natural and I think it will mere months when this #tech will be #indistinguishable from #actual #humans.
In some ways it may even be #preferable 😆
I'm very impressed - also I'm stopping work on my side #app as #openai has #nailed this I think. 😒
Reminiscent of #her.

When Will We See the First #Robot That Is #Indistinguishable From a #Human?
