Human-in-Loop
Definitely not an AI Honeypot

@WallStreetApes lol, no.

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

Fire the econ designer.

There will be no WW3.

They've abandoned numbered releases and switched to a live service model with seasonal events.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

It’s so plainly obvious this is happening right in front of our eyes.

@arsenyshestakov @TylerFCloutier You are not going to rely on Steam, MS, Sony, etc, to provide usable BI platforms, much less the infrastructure and tooling needed to do liveops.

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

@ryxcommar Okay, but what's his EQ?

I think you are misunderstanding what this tech demo actually is, but I will engage with what I think your gripe is — AI tooling trivializing the skillsets of programmers, artists, and designers.

My first games involved hand assembling machine code and turning graph paper characters into hex digits. Software progress has made that work as irrelevant as chariot wheel maintenance.

Building power tools is central to all the progress in computers.

Game engines have radically expanded the range of people involved in game dev, even as they deemphasized the importance of much of my beloved system engineering.

AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics.

Yes, we will get to a world where you can get an interactive game (or novel, or movie) out of a prompt, but there will be far better exemplars of the medium still created by dedicated teams of passionate developers.

The world will be vastly wealthier in terms of the content available at any given cost.

Will there be more or less game developer jobs? That is an open question. It could go the way of farming, where labor saving technology allow a tiny fraction of the previous workforce to satisfy everyone, or it could be like social media, where creative entrepreneurship has flourished at many different scales. Regardless, “don’t use power tools because they take people’s jobs” is not a winning strategy.

@CoryBooker Weird, it's almost like they don't care about public support, or the midterm elections.

I'm sure there are a ton of apps you can download that either implements it directly or allows you to download from within the app itself.

@emollick GPT doesn't have to deal with the conditioned brainrot of upcoding for hospital administrators. It's not surprising that a system that is told to optimize for accuracy outperforms one that is conditioned to optimize for profit.

[Geoffrey Litt @geoffreylitt]

I feel like AI coding tools have exposed the vastly different motivations of programmers: “coding is a joyful problem solving activity” vs “coding is a necessary means to an end”

knowledge synthesizers start slowly and get ignored for a long while, but make the biggest ripples in the long run

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

What are you guys talking about? I just really like matrix multiplication.

[Pedro Domingos @pmddomingos]

The most terrifying words in AI are, "AI is dangerous, so we'll control it for you".

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

@danfaggella 4 years seems a plausible timeframe. I'm constantly reminded in conversations just how little attention most people give to this sort of thing.

I think it depends on how much other drama happens in the world / economy, and what if any regulations are enacted.

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

@danfaggella When politicians start talking about virtual fentanyl that'll be a pretty good sign that it's too late.

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

@danfaggella People behave statistically in groups.

Except me, because I'm an individual.

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

@danfaggella Personalization of interactive content has been the thesis of my entire career ;)

Most people don't give a shit unless it makes them see dollar signs.

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

@danfaggella Same here on timeframe. Everything I say has the caveat that we don't get turned into paper clips, nuclear slag or batteries for the basilisk.

[Obvious Honeypot @DocRobins]

@danfaggella I'm really glad you're writing about these things.

It's mirrored conversations I've had with people in my industry, but there are definitely not enough people who are thinking about these problems or taking it seriously.
