When a vibe becomes a target, it ceases to be a good vibe

considering what form 'norvid derangement syndrome' would take

i have conceived of a story like this, where after every cycle you're asked if you want to replay, and when you say 'no' you're logged out of 'the matrix'

tfw you rolled existence in the amish sim instead of the lotr sim

the samsara gacha is cruel

should've extrapolated it from 3 scoops of the powder, skill issue

right, but all we get out of this, for now, is italian brainrot animals

so i think, what does 'genie add to this?', and the answer seems to be sim of 'tralalero tralalala vacationing in naples', which will be amusing for like 5 minutes

tbc im judging genie as it is now, not in 5 years or whatever when it can sim arbitrary physics

imo, the central 'problem' is it looks like being dropped into an alpha test of unreal engine 6 with some baked in physics but no custom logic, how much fun can it be before you click away to youtube/tiktok?

i think it'll be used for advertising and indie short film

while the world sim is impressive, people will get bored of it fast until someone productizes it

then on the other side of the spectrum are games like eclipse and root, so-called euro games where you're constantly positioning against other players and trading resources between past and future

above that is monopoly, where there are choices, but such obviously good/bad moves that it feels like the previous type, eg its almost never 'optimal' to not buy certain properties; fake agency

using your terms, i would call 'life' or 'snakes and ladders' 'performative'

as in, there's no agency at all, you execute the loop as instructed, if you gave everyone a sheet of their next dice rolls, you can calculate who will win without playing the game

no, you cannot get into YC with this, by nature, it's anti-value extracting, glass chewers like @gracekind.net could build it though, as a boutique product

a tuned RAG seems to enable this

like a crawler that is so 'you' it just goes through stuff all day to just to bring you highlights/digests

how is second-order resource management not the same as first-order resource management ('robotic best moves')?

is this not just your email in some abstract sense?

threaten your family, works every time

Real Life With Pause

my friend jokes that if you transported karl to google campus, he would think he won

one man's gambling is another man's 'variable rewards schedule'

i thought not, it's not a story reddit would tell you, it's a mobile legend

'biskeets'

it does have an offboarding problem, tbf, not that the haters care about the technical details

a lot of lego sets are made for adults i feel

nobody gets into archery not to look cool

in defense of depressionposting, though, i think about this a lot

Wittgenstein Private Notebooks: 1914-1916

(this would've been during WWI, 5 years before the Tractatus)

you conveniently cropped out 'Elvish (First Age)' and 'Elvish (Second Age)

i think the takeaway from brennan's post is nowhere did it say 'i posted on reddit a lot about my depression'

in the chinese pvp arena mecha game, mechabreak, bots populate the ladder until you're 'master' (after 'diamond')

they are not entirely useless and can hold their own, unlike most 'tutorial bots', but you can see this market desire for ego-soothing rankings
