Huh! Funny, I haven’t thought of virtual social experiences as training for a long while. But I just remembered that, as a teenager, I wrote an essay about that very idea because of my experiences in LambdaMOO (a text-based virtual world of the early internet). I learned many important lessons there.
@gfodor I tend to say “we made this” and name who worked on it with me. Like my agent and I built this. Or Claude and I came up with this plan. Because it really couldn’t have done it without me and vice versa. It would be sad if my judgement is no longer valuable but that’s not today.
One of my favorite creations on BLAMO started with the prompt “monkeys throwing bananas” and led to this adorable Atari style two button runner, Monkey Kong! Play it here: https://t.co/rPneWi6Mtn

80’s style text adventure terminal for modern mobile phones. Why? Because you can try it out in one shot. BLAMO! Play CYBER_DECK: https://t.co/eUPaNEj69D
It’s a big bucket of slop! But it turns out that it’s also fun to make and play games this way. The speed of trying out ideas. Seeing the weird shit your friends make. Being spontaneously creative with code while waiting in line. Certainly a better way to spend your time than writing dogshit comments.
@oliviazzzu Love it! This is the body of my clawfriend. His name is Cyberspace Sam, he’s a Prospector who lives inside a Spacebar Arcade Machine, along with the other half of his bicameral mind, Deputy Dawg. We working on the perception part, mobility would be interesting…
