@tyronerodriguez Time thief was uninstalled for stealing my time. And now... this? FML I guess I need to start streaming full-time again... Y'all wanna sponsor me?
@STGshmups "Quarter-eater" say what? Arcade was hard, in order to make us throw in more money :D The Konami code was so home users could play Konami games at home without the luxury of a token slot to continue endlessly.
Let's explore this subject! Thoughts on the Konami code?
@GamersNexus Thanks Steve! While you are at it, do y'all wanna go in with some friends on an equity firm and we'll all buy into Bolt Graphics collectively?
@commonordinarym@TheoryForge If they've got money to market, they've got money to develop. For their sake I hope there's a lot of near-complete stuff that's gonna be delivered soon.
Prosecute felonious hyperscalers and halt their buildout plans, ban "forced opt-on", and prevent "no opt-out training", and you'll address the ACTUAL problems. Re-prosecute the Memory Cartel too.
Every AI company is trying to fully automate AI research; to allow the AIs to build the next AI.
This is called Recursive Self Improvement (RSI).
OpenAI says they are on track to do so by March 2028.
Anthropic employees say they are on track to do so by 2027.
The METR report below suggests they are likely right.
This is a bad idea given current technology. Any mistake or misalignment in current AIs could be multiplied in each generation.
We don't get another election before AI companies reach this threshold.
Congress should ban RSI, this year if possible.
This is a remarkably consensus opinion, supported in various versions by:
-Bernie Sanders
-Steve Bannon
-Ralph Nader
-Glenn Beck
-Republican and Democratic attorneys general
-Whistleblower Daniel Kokotajlo
-Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio
-Humans First
-Open Markets Institute
-Ezra Klein
-Arvind Narayanan (a Princeton computer scientist known for arguing that “AI is a normal technology”)
The exact mechanism can be debated. The ban doesn't have to be permanent either (see below for both). This is not the only thing we have to do in regards to AI, far from it! But it is urgent.
Congress must ban RSI.
@TheoryForge The problem with everyone being the hero and having to do the hero's tasks conflicts with the rate of heroic targets. Imagine 10,000 Hercules queuing up to do his daily chores.
Okay so I know there's versions and variations of it now, but real talk... rebuild the whole of WoW as a single player / limited multiplayer action RPG and I might unban BlizzActMicro from purchases. But it needs to be a one-time purchase on Steam or GOG. Those are my terms.
@STGshmups The same thing they've been up to:
1) Greenwash the brutal regime with entertainment investments.
2) Throw stupid money at profit-hollowed entities who are susceptible to an easy buyout.
"The new owners TOLD us to do a license rug pull!" plus "We're desperate and the Kushner-Saudi greenwashing connection is a fast track to cashing out!"
First off, the workers deserve better...

@MorgondagDev Oh very nice! I thought this was going to be a trippy puzzle game.... and the fact that it could become one is rather exciting. Keep up the awesome work!
@RobertsSpaceInd I disagree with the narrative presented here. 432 days ago, the loading system was finicky AF. Even placing ONE box without shenanigans was a feat. @snipehunter was there, it was his hauler!
@rebbford@xiFlynn Okay but like... you have an open invitation to throw a Stalker at me any time I'm playing Rhino! Or not if you wanna make me look silly...
