Teaching my cats about the cruel inflexibility of automation as they meow furiously at me to make the machine-mother feed them 40 minutes early.
@rominator Yeah I generally agree on emotion, but also I really didn’t need the questions that just seemed like a therapy session (“is it a happy storm”) or moments where Sorkin started with a real question (i.e. whether Twitter’s on a collision course with the iOS App Store, which I’m super curious about!) and let himself get sidetracked into an infinitely dumber one based on Musk’s rambling (yeah of course Twitter is not building a phone).
still cannot get over how bad the NYT dealbook Elon Musk interview was. like I assume not being asked any hard questions is a precondition of a Musk appearance, but if I worked for the company whose name was on a pivotal First Amendment legal precedent, I would feel awfully embarrassed not bringing up one of the world’s richest men filing a transparent and carefully forum-shopped anti-speech lawsuit against his critics

I’m not sure what’s actually happening here but the parsing of “AI” from longstanding games industry techniques like procedural generation feels like it’s going to start getting increasingly fine. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/silent-hill-ascension-isnt-written-by-ai-dev-insists-says-suggesting-otherwise-is-a-veiled-insult/1100-6519527/

My first 2 hours of Alan Wake 2:
Pacific Northwest Max Payne: anyway if you want to get back to the car we can interview some suspects, crack my old buddy’s murder wide open -
Me: I found an old lunchbox full of garbage. This CAN’T be a coincidence.
Alan Wake 2 is the first game to successfully simulate zoning out during a work meeting to think about a weird piece of trash you found.
@ianrbuck yes as claimed in her first game boss monologue
