A big retro gaming milestone today. Kings Quest turns 40 🎂🥳 !! Sierra forms part of many childhood memories for people worldwide. Ken and Roberta made the gaming industry what it is today. Here’s the CGA version of KQ1.

@JenPanepinto @icreatelife @JenPanepinto looks amazing!! What did you use to create it?

[Simon Johnson @SimonJohnsonAU]

@rpotter_9 Really @nphair ? Is this true?

[Simon Johnson @SimonJohnsonAU]

@icreatelife Well said. 😎

@MossRC @Terrorbytesdoc @caboken @AkiraYamaoka @DUSKdev @romero @ThomasGrip @zaphodgjd @JeremyBlaustein @hifumi_kono @Airdorf As a vintage game collector (who spent his childhood playing Sierra games, doom, quake, duke nukem, Wolfenstein), then in ‘89 used the Internet and eventually played networked games etc .. I can’t tell you how much I love this !!!

[Simon Johnson @SimonJohnsonAU]

@MossRC 👀 Sounds like something I need to take a look at !!!

@MuseumCommodore Favourite Commodore 64 game is Rambo !!! Why? Who doesn’t love to shoot bad guys? And it has the cool Ocean logo!!

Great article by @tburton - I wish the rest of the media would call this out. 🇦🇺 is decades behind our adversaries. Gov doesn’t know the right questions to ask & is stuck with advisors from the Canberra bubble. Certainly the top people in cyber security don’t support it.

Australia’s watered-down cybersecurity regime is laughable #auspol #cyber https://t.co/OgUWpfAcCv

@MalWalden10 @9NewsMelb Agreed. This is about @phitchener9 his lifetime of achievement, dedication to his craft and his legacy. Many of us literally grew up with him - every night (like you Mal back at 7 then 10). Could have been handled a lot better. Wish more newsreaders were like you guys!

I’m getting Dotcom flashbacks from the craziness at #OpenAI - the truth will eventually come out. Shocked at how @sama and others were reportedly treated.

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.

Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.

We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know:

- Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon.

- At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.

- As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior.

The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.

@heidimur @heidimur this sounds suspicious and raises a number of questions. Was the “routine software upgrade” properly tested? Were the safety thresholds appropriate? Seems that there is a big gap in terms of Disaster Recovery. If upstream routing was wrong - WHY? Was it deliberate?

[Simon Johnson @SimonJohnsonAU]

@Apogee_Ent @romero @ScottApogee This would be awesome! Spent my teenage years playing Wolf3d.

Hey @AlboMP - Call a meeting of the National #Security Committee. Pro Hamas & Al-Qaeda protests on the streets of #Syd & #Mel and Police did nothing about it. Jewish people told by Police to stay home. Where is @ASIOGovAu & why has there been a failure in HUMINT? cc @SenPaterson

[Imam of Peace @Imamofpeace]

Palestinians making Hitler proud today in Sydney, Australia. Yelling “Gas the Jews” while waving black Al-Qaeda flags. Focus on the flags, they reveal a lot about who is supporting Hamas.

In line with the UAE's vision for the Metaverse field, we launch today the “Responsible Metaverse Self-Governance Framework” white paper in collaboration with @DubaiDET to ensure the growth of the metaverse economy, identify challenges, and capitalize on opportunities in this promising future sector, which impacts vital sectors in the UAE.

[Simon Johnson @SimonJohnsonAU]

@elizlaraki For clarity Google copied Infoseek and other search engines prior. It also copied AdWords from https://t.co/l6TE0PuTBX (then Overture). IMHO Google is not the innovator many people think it is. Agree with you on AI.

[Simon Johnson @SimonJohnsonAU]

@SenPaterson Not surprised. The Australian Government (including agencies & law enforcement) are decades behind our adversaries when it comes to #cybersecurity. The Government doesn’t know the right questions to ask. All of our top #cyber experts are in the private sector, not in Government.

@AgainPlay @CyndeMoya @Swinburne Hey @AgainPlay was this recorded ?
