4. it seems very possible that we are now exiting the brief window where a good fraction of all of human knowledge was searchable & instantly available. a window that starts with the invention of the search engine & ends with the invention of large language models.

6. can't believe that the Audacity spyware story has ended up with someone getting stabbed by a 4channer (for daring to try to fork the project with a name that isn't derived from a slur)

7. hot take: the distinctive and characteristic thing that unites "walking simulators" is not an emphasis on narrative, but an insistence that moving through a space and observing can be a rewarding experience without needing challenge & mechanical progression.

    there is a real fear among AI researchers that the last big corpuses of human written text have already been captured. all future scrapes of the internet for text to learn from will be contaminated by machine-speak.

17. a surprising thing you learn in game development is how bad people are at recognizing that things are the same object, just rotated around and scaled up or down a bit

    @GalaxyKate also, at the risk of cheapening the moment... while CBDQ has died, I'm hard at work on my next project, Downpour, which tries to make it as easy to make a videogame as CBDQ made it to make a Twitterbot. Sign up here to be notified when it launches: downpour.games/

    @GalaxyKate on an admin note: since they revoked API access, I'm afraid you can't login to see the source for your bots (unless you set the source to be publicly available). At the risk of being overwhelmed, if you do want access to your bot source, let me know and I can ferret it out.
