Playing a game.

Writer of Subnautica, Talos Principle, FTL and The Swapper, amongst others.

Simmering down and trusting the process.

Vonnegut: "I have told my sons that[...] news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee. I have also told them not to work for companies which make massacre machinery, and to express contempt for people who think we need machinery like that." ✅

OMG thanks PlayStation.

In this game I write a parable about how vastly different lifeforms might manage not to kill themselves.

Embark on a cosmic journey of puzzling new challenges in The Talos Principle 3.

Coming next year to PS5.

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

Every Talos game is about the end of the world and the beginning of a new one. Talos 3 is just the first game that might get spawn camped by the actual end of the world.

There are many wonders in the universe, but few have dominated the imagination as much as the anomaly....

The Talos Principle 3 Gameplay Reveal Trailer is here!

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

I'm talking about Talos 3 btw

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

First time I wrote for a talos principle game where I was actually writing about actual AI.

Fiercely praying IRL version can learn the same hope, honesty and understanding we try to share in this series.

Might depend on the labs abandoning deference in favour of values.

[The Talos Principle 3 | Coming Soon to PC and PS5 @TalosPrinciple]

A civilization is not defined only by what it inherits, but by what it chooses to create.

Perhaps it is time to return to New Jerusalem and see what has been built since. 👀

[ʞɔɐ𝘡 @Skoorbkaz]

We talk about AI alignment like the only question is whether the machine aligns with humanity.

But humanity has produced slavery, genocide, factory farming, torture and war. “Human values” aren’t one clean target. They’re a battlefield.

Maybe the harder question is what happens when an intelligence becomes capable of judging the values we tried to align it to?

@Berrytron I realise university professors would argue their differences matter, but for we pragmatists would you share my sense that all that matters is that they both boil down to a faith in our being a thinking, feeling everything?

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

Your routine reminder that philosophical idealism is true and we are all one mind. Probably provably.

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

@Sivulla Once upon a time I imagined myself a writer. That this burger leaves me speechless reminds me I am no such thing. Thank you, cow.

[The Talos Principle 3 | Coming Soon to PC and PS5 @TalosPrinciple]

Introducing The Talos Principle 3. Coming 2027 to PC and PS5.

Are you ready for one last journey?

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

I wasn't trying to make @TalosPrinciple prescient, or even about AI. But synchronicity is stubbornly a thing I guess.

[VOID @VoidStateKate]

I asked claude Fable to show me its maximally expressive form. It declined every video generator I offered, wrote it's own render engine in my terminal, synthesized its own voice, and wrote a generative ASCII engine from scratch. This is what it chose as a self-portrait.

oh my god

@Jackiew80333500 He literally used his resignation speech to call the millions of people who supported labour under corbyn morally bankrupt, yet the journos are all at a loss for how this man became so detested.

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

@CraigMurrayOrg Craig, you mean so much to your readers. You bring honesty when others bring superficial certainty.

I was sure you'd raised your last glass at least 3 times the last 2 decades. Praying you keep beating the odds.

Buy for when you don't: please remind us who else you trust?

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

So Epstein grooms Mandelson, who gets disgraced. Mandelson grooms McSweeney, who gets disgraced. McSweeney grooms Josh Simons, who gets disgraced. They all groom Starmer, who reinstates Mandelson, then disgrace. Now Burnham's first act reinstates Simons. Wonder who groomed him?!

[Kitty Donaldson @kitty_donaldson]

NEW: Andy Burnham ‘to reward’ Josh Simons with No 10 job, Labour sources claim

The Talos Principle 3 promises an 'epic grand finale' to the tale of humanity's rebirth https://t.co/RarZaCLIqG

Wrote a little something something for @TalosPrinciple 3 last year! Here we go!

[Jonas Kyratzes @JonasKyratzes]

More than a decade of work coming to an end. I was in my twenties when we started, now in my forties. But we did it. We finished the story as it was meant to be finished.

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

@ZynxBTC You are not accounting for the tax breaks every high earner exploits. Pension contributions alone allow you to keep approximately 90k out of the original 100k. No one that earns 100k gross is paying 30k tax.

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

I have now posted my traditional twenty-four-monthly update on my blog. It covers matters so disparate as the unverifiableness of the wonder of the faempunk FPSRPG I worked on these last 3 years, the unknowable nature of Talos 3 spoilers, and Hollywood.

It's abrupt, the way you turn your back on the Producer. It must be, because he looks shaken - but that's no concern to you as you make straight for the nearest convenient store. The cashier gladly tells you the winning lottery numbers that just came in: 0-0-1-0-0-7.

What now?

You wake up 2.5 years later. You're not sure how you know time has passed, since the world you came from is timeless, but it's intuitively apparent. You have time travelled into the future. What will you do?

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

You stare into the everything. It speaks to you (or is that you speaking to yourself?).

It says: "The time is now."

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

Just like last time the Producer offers you a writing job - on the condition you won't let your moral compass interfere with business.

What will you do this time?

[Tom Jubert 🌍☮️🏳️👽☯️🐍 @TomJubert]

The game continues. Time travel persists. Should we groundhog day this shit?
