the game memorizes these moments, what you say, how they react, and creates story arcs based on it
LLMs famously can’t be consistent, so your fantasy game would have story arcs that doesn’t fit together, brings back characters that are already dead as if nothing happened, and everyone would have a son named Dorian.
Throwing rocks into an increasing pile and after each throw burning offerings to evaluate how much closer we are getting to having a cathedral.
Possibly the worst way of building a cathedral, except it doesn’t really qualify as “building a cathedral”. Some workmen may take the pile of rocks and build an actual cathedral, but that doesn’t mean that the step of throwing rocks was necessary or desirable.
Good point.
Heinlein is a bit tricky because on one hand he clearly has a Point of View, but on the other he tends to reuse material, which includes prodding at earlier systems until they get sufficiently dystopian to demand a strong Individualist Man to step up. Don’t know if he set that up on purpose or if it was a consequence and set up things, or just the need to churn out new books. Sometimes I got the feeling that he tried ideas on for size.
I didn’t know that uwu news influencer was a thing. Kind of a clash between style and topic there, but hey whatever gets the word out.
I think he means “mass sterilisation of a population” Vs “mass murder of the same population”, which is genocide either way, and then he would opt for the faster method.
Or something. Feels extra creepy discussing which genocide is better with the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
I think this is correct.
Nokia managed to push Ericsson out of their dominant position because Nokia were more of a consumer products company, including consumer electronics. But because Nokia did phones as consumer electronics, they didn’t think about them in terms of a platform and had a poor position to compete with smart phones. Their best bet would probably have been to make hardware that ran Android, and at the time I was a bit surprised that they didn’t. Their hardware reputation was stellar.
Elop’s and Microsoft’s actions were still scummy, though from Nokia’s perspective they sold a failing part of their business for billions. Microsoft of course continued to run the phone sales into the ground.
