I am not at GDC, so if there is a public demo it is the duty of one of you to make this to create the most copyright-infringing, NSFW, rancid thing in front of as many investors as possible.

That tech your dad invested thousands into isn't worth dick mate.
"due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering" <- a lot of linguistic gymnastics to say that "hallucinations" are a feature, not a bug
OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.”

Having a beer and thinking wistfully about how games companies are spending untold amounts of money on AI R&D projects, and not one has even meeting the bar Façade set in 2005.
Also not realising LLM-powered NPCs will have the appeal Façade did, at most somewhat interesting, for normals a laugh.

I think Sabre Interactive is probably for me - at least from purely a business sense - the most exciting publisher around right now.

This will sell 5 million copies in a month easy, there's the predict.

The absolutely gorgeous-looking Replaced has a demo out now, and I highly recommend giving it a go. I loved Replaced when I previewed it last month. You can read my thoughts about it all here:

That's exactly the kind of review score spread that I'd hope for in a Grasshopper game. If there aren't some folks absolutely loathing every second, it's not interesting.

If nothing else, this weeks Castle Super Beast will be a good listen... This 2XKO shit sucks man.

This 2XKO news is really sad - I think if you played the game at all you could maybe feel it had launched to a niche audience, but the game was *very* good with room to grow. More than anything I feel bad for the devs, who have been suddenly laid off into a brutal hiring environment.
