interesting

Wanna add that while a failure in logic for a program might not be the end of the world, it can be a big problem if we use these machine learning systems (not calling it AI cause it's really just pattern matching) to work on serious things that can have big consequences. Imagine making big machinery like powerplants or even weapons (some idiots will do it) with help or even guided by chatGPT like systems. They won't understand what it is that actually matters but they will produce good looking designs because that's what they do. And if people are foolish enough to use them or forced to, we'll have machines that don't necessarily do what was intended and we won't realise until something bad happens.

One way I can see "AI" turn bad, including the kind we have now, is not necessarily that the machine itself turns on us. Even if the machine is chatGPT style, you give it input and it gives you output, it can still cause harm by providing you with the wrong output and the human trusting it. And I'm not talking about trust like "chatGPT says I should kill my family so I will". If the AI is really powerful and you ask it really big questions, it might fool you into accepting an answer that sounds good at first but turns out to be a really bad idea. And if you can't understand the answer yourself, you might not realise until it's too late. I'm a programmer and people around me have already started using chatGPT to code stuff. And while I can see why it's attractive to use, I can also see how the fact that it doesn't really understand coding and reality matters. It's still just pattern matching input to output. So I've seen some weird issues that arise in the code it outputs and it's usually about deeper logic that chatGPT just doesn't get, the code is proper C/python/whatever and the programmer might just use it because it runs in most cases. The problem is how to figure out why it doesn't run once it reaches that weird corner case. And the more we use this kind of technology the less we will be able to understand the systems around us and the how to fix them. Even if we don't get wiped out by the AI itself, we might be painting ourselves in an idiocracy situation.

Yep. This is the only important thing we should pay attention to.

Also, I didn't have “Tr-Trickstyle” stuck in my head but I do now. Wtf :D

Hi Ross, this is maybe off topic in a way but I had trouble logging into the forums. Using the username seems to fail but it still locks me out after 3 failed attempts. Using the email though, it worked ok. Also, I know it's not a bad security practice to lock people out on too many failed attempts but maybe you can increase the limit a bit? 15 min after 3 attempts seems too high and too restrictive. Brute forcing someone's password takes a lot more tries than that. Don't really have questions but like, good work on all the stuff. I love all your videos and I hope you'll be able and willing to continue with them for as long as possible. Also, this is said by others, but never stress about putting out 'too little' stuff or getting it out 'too slowly'. What you do is art and art always takes as long as it takes, no more no less. If you put hard deadlines on it, it becomes "content" and that's superficial crap that there's enough of on the internet.

Android is just one of many ways in which huge corps are taking over the open source world. It's not free and it's not open source so I dunno wtf you're talking about.

This was a great game dungeon! I didn't even realise it was long because it was an exciting journey from start to finish. The delivery and the intricate structure of it was awesome. And about the awards, ye, I noticed they were gone too but maybe they just didn't make sense in this one. It was more of a performance, an art installation disguised in a game review. The awards would have been out of place. Ross is good at figuring out what works so I don't see why you'd wanna push for something that would limit his creativity. Anyway, great video, thanks Ross!

Woah, I used to play this game when I had my first computer. If only I had known where it came from...

I'm not sure if this an April fool's joke or if you're serious

I agree completely with you - it's amazing that after all this time he can still do Freeman's Mind with the same dedication (if not more) as in the beginning. In this Internet Era there are a lot of people with talent that start interesting (sometimes amazing) projects but lose interest after a short while, let alone finish them. I also agree with RGD which got me hooked since episode 1 - I was like "yes, Tyrian is a great game, why don't more people know and talk about it?". I do want to see more of those, it's nice to see other people interested in those "old school" games. Those were true games in the sense that you wouldn't talk about realism, you would only talk about the _game_ part. An analogy would be some kids playing with sticks and complaining that they don't represent swords very well instead of focusing on their game and its rules (if any). Anyway, I'm not going to go too much off topic with that idea. Since this is my first post here, I want to end with congratulating Ross on his work and this fund raiser. I wouldn't consider this payment for work to come but rather for what you already created and gave to the fans and community. So, I wish you all the best to Ross and everyone here, you all seem like good people
