Some good advice on how we can all help Twitter alternatives like Mastodon take off.

And speaking of: https://t.co/d2b6ZFU7zw

[Brian Nosek (@[email protected]) @BrianNosek]

Everyone moving from twitter to mastodon is very likely to fail because it is a collective action problem, benefits depend on others actions.

Here's how it can succeed. It will require your commitment for 1 month to do a few things. Read and retweet if you commit to do them.

Science ran a big experiment on itself for the last ~60 years. It didn't work out.

You & the state of creative AI, a short 🧵
1) If you are an expert in a field involving writing or coding, you should use it now. Really.
2) Outside of your field, use it for fun, but be careful
3) Use it to boost creativity👇
4) It is improving VERY fast

This might be the first OpenAI result that made me actually laugh out loud.

Mr. Fluffernutter's rise is indeed quite disturbing.

@chrissvensson Yeah, unfortunately it seems like the UX issues are a huge deterrent to a lot of people I had hoped would take something like Mastodon seriously. Definitely not just you.

[Just another user @djedery]

Ok most of this is not that impressive relative to other output examples I've seen lately, but the last bit got a clap out of me. 💯

5. Making ChatGPT believe that it is you:

[Just another user @djedery]

@kasavin Yes, loved that game ❤

[Shital Shah @sytelus]

ChatGPT was dropped on us just bit over 24 hours. It's like you wake up to the news of first nuclear explosion and you don't know yet what to think about it but you know world will never be the same again. Here some interesting snapshots of this "explosion"🧵:

OpenAI’s new ChatGPT appears to defeat Hofstadter/Bender’s list of hallucination-inducing questions, published in The Economist this June to demonstrate the “hollowness” of GPT-3’s understanding of the world: https://t.co/Td7KxQe6Va

I really like how Twitter has connected me with friends and interesting strangers who are not in the game industry, and Mastodon doesn't seem to be great for that. I'll be feeling out Tumblr here: https://t.co/yPp2xbziFf

Do you consider yourself a Senior Gameplay Engineer? Do you love making polished and delightful experiences for players? If so, we humbly submit that you might really enjoy working with us. 🥰

This will bubble bottom-up. Indies and small crews can radically take advantage and grow faster than without this tech, IMHO.

Most difficult five days of my posting career but we got him

@BNeutral @tylersigman doesn't pay attention to Twitter but if he notices this tweet it might be a sign 😆

[Just another user @djedery]

This makes me want to write a whole "failures of Spry Fox" post. The problem is that, in my experience, people can fixate on arbitrary details of those stories and miss the bigger picture. Very hard to write/give advice that is actually helpful!

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Interestingly, stories of failure may be more useful for learning.

They can be more easily applied than stories of success, especially if the story is interesting and you believe that it is important to learn from mistakes. Just be sure the story is true! https://t.co/0cxfFNpFu3

Midjourney pixel art is pretty cool. Still digging into a bunch of advanced variables that can be used in prompts. Need to figure out how to animate these.

[Just another user @djedery]

@kasavin TY Greg! I am excited for what's next. Hopefully I'll now have time to do more writing for our games, and my envy of you will soften a bit. 😉

[Just another user @djedery]

Lest I forget: we wouldn't be where we are today without @EpicGamesPub and @hecterrific. Best publisher we've ever had by far. Any developer would be lucky to work with them.
