I met my wife through facebook and built my entire career through twitter so yeah a few great things to say the least

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

you (and I..) gotta just go small scale and finish something, better to get reps than agonize over doing the most satisfying and best thing on the first try

I bought a 10 dollar crunchy-ass indie game with PSX visuals and a killer setting and concept and it just... wasn't fun. this has never happened to me before I have no clue how to feel

Sunder @sunder.bsky.social · 2d

this is mostly how I felt while playing the demo, it's got sauce and is very satisfying when it hits but I rarely felt like I had set up the pins to be knocked down rather than crossed my fingers and things just worked out. in that sense it very much emulates slot machines at least

I was talking about this with a friend and we were talking about the like theoretical "LLM Skyrim" and I said, if it ever works on a large scale AAA, it will only work once because the next time around they will realize, as they play a completely different game, that the dialog is still the same.

it's gonna be great in five years when the novelty wears off and everyone realizes LLMs just produce the same things over and over

Sunder @sunder.bsky.social · 4d

forever late but I rolled epilogue in hades (1) and it's actually kind of unreal how much sauce the supergiant devs have

is this good

LLMs, he argues, already are at the scaling limits. “We don’t know exactly when LLMs might hit diminishing returns hard, because we don’t have a measure of the statistical complexity of language. To find out whether we have hit a wall we have to watch the LLM developers. If they release a model that cost 10x more, likely using 20x more compute than the previous one, and it’s not much better than what’s out there, then we’ve hit a wall,” he says.

And that’s what has happened: ChatGPT-3 cost $50 million, ChatGPT-4 cost $500 million and ChatGPT-5, costing $5 billion, was delayed and when released wasn’t noticeably better than the last version. It’s also easy for competitors to catch up.

“So, in summary; you can’t create an app with commercial value as it is either generic (games etc), which won’t sell, or it is regurgitated public domain (homework), or it is subject to copyright. It’s hard to advertise effectively, LLMs cost an exponentially larger amount to train each generation, with a rapidly diminishing gain in accuracy. There’s no moat on a model, so there’s little pricing power. And the people who use LLMs the most are using them to access compute that costs the developer more to provide than their monthly subscriptions,” he says.

Old #swordtember Void & Obsidian.
The void is a desolate place, yet there is life here. The tides of force break down the remnants of planets that slip into the event horizon. The few creatures that survive in this harsh environment use obsidian blades formed by the pressures & tides of this plane.

Tell your favorite artists you love their work

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.
