EA could maybe harness this energy by putting together a new studio for Mass Effect with the right team, but that would take some effort to find and hire the right team
The #SaveMassEffect petition has reached over 200,000 signatures, gaining even more traction after Commander Shepard actors Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer, along with the Destiny community, showed their support. https://bit.ly/3VUZnO5
i was going to make some post about the upcoming golden age of the auteur game developer. we've seen it for years now with indie games, and Kojima in the AAA space but it's about to go mainstream as the kids from Roblox grow up and take their game ideas to full fruition using AI.
The baseline concept of "I don't want to have to bug a dev over and over to make small adjustments" is a fair one but that just means you need to stop obsessing over those little tweaks and just move on!!!
another week, another devlog. this time with the first video teaser. pretty basic for now, maybe in a week or two we'll be introducing cuts along with a more dynamic camera and more interesting features on the map.

Are you a PhD student in quantum computing and interested in working with our team in 2027 as a student researcher (i.e., an internship that's ~3 months and in-person at our office)? If so, apply here: www.google.com/about/career...
to put it simpler, if you dropped a single adult human into a troop of chimps they would not build a flourishing civilization however intelligent that human is
i could see us entering a regime where we've hit the ceiling of intelligence for AI as a tool, and now it's just a competition on price, speed and skills or knowledge. and to unlock the full advantage of AI as autonomous agents, there's some chasm in capabilities and diffusion.
i might have been wrong about this, the Kimi Pro sub is getting pretty good value atm, with Kimi Code through Paseo.
i'm not sure, the sub has a monthly reset instead of weekly and i don't think there's 4 weeks of Claude Opus 5.5 in that month. if i had to pick one out it would be Anthropic sadly (i really want the ecosystem to diversify).
this is amazing actually
i got bored of imagegen/video/sunoslop and figured: what if demoscene? here's ring0, a 64k intro for native macOS arm64, single self-contained 53,304 byte Mach-O, no static assets used, all completely synthesized in C and arm64 assembly. opus 5.5, "make a native 64k intro" and a single moodboard
i was thinking about this yesterday, the right analogy for the relationship between humans and ASI, trying to liken it to school friends who grow up and humans remain small, hometown, while one friend goes on to be a billionaire but still treats their old friends like friends, helping where they can
It’s been astonishing to me to see people talk about the future of human-AI relations in terms of forecasting what *will* happen, but not what they *want* to happen. The reactionary wants “not this” and doesn’t care how. I don’t know what to call someone who just doesn’t want.

Bit of an odd job here. Anthropic looking for a person to design and run tabletop exercises and wargames.

apply.interfolio.com/195460 new post-doc at Princeton: AI as a "cultural technology" — its role across arts & humanities & knowledge infrastructures, AI's societal effects on creative & cultural industries (literature, music, film, visual arts). Looking humanistic approaches to AI systems!
i am not good at marketing but it doesn't matter because i'll probably just make this game free to play given how flooded the market is, or will be soon. don't even care about anyone decompiling it or copying it, the pirating of our time.
