@Jbotsx@aus_fella@bearmccreary You can find bad games with both male and female protagonists. You can find good games with male and females protagonists. The gender of the playable character isn't what makes a game good or bad.
@ISkyline86@Dexerto So a business that runs off of users self promoting in a plethora of ways doesn't want users who self promote at a social event that is all about self promotion?
This indie dev is making a PS2-style cosmic horror game inspired by Alan Wake, Twin Peaks, and The X-Files
- LoFi style cosmic horror
- Search an island for your missing brother
- Moody, creepy worldbuilding
Would you play it?
It's called Pinnacle Point.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
In case you missed it, the Silver Pines demo will be available to play on June 1st.
