I'm the author of the presentation. When I was designing this talk, the end game I had in mind is to have a starting point. I think bringing more awareness to the depth of the problem and some behaviors we can change can start us down the road is good enough to get the ball rolling. I don't think this is going to be solved in one generation.

The idea of how algorithms and scrolling get in the way of contemplation is an intriguing idea.
I had some other similar ideas come up in that past that are similar to this concept.

We get what we invest in. My feeling is there are other services to invest in like Bandcamp where at least you get an option to download a copy of the music. If people invest in Spotify with out thinking about the consequences then the the world we live in is exactly what we deserve. This same thing is happening with other form of art. Until people start making conscious decisions for world they want to create, the dark times will prevail.
The cloud gaming echo chamber has conveniently arrived to save the day by mimicking the solution to fix the problem the same industry created. Problem, Reaction, Solution.
I feel like Apple makes MacOS really difficult to use with all the unessessary security components. Plus they treat there users like idiots, they hide advanced operations behind keyboard shortcuts. Then there's the need to control the ecosystem.
Agreed. It was very difficult. I bounced off it myself. But I really respect the design elements of the game.
So the trailer for 2.0 is exactly what I was thinking of for continuation of this kind of game. I was missing a lot that would have made it deep like a backstory. I was thinking it would be great to tell that back story through the logs you find on derelict ships.
Im really glad this appears as if it's going to happen. Duskers was a great game even in its limited story driven context.
We bailed out the banks during the housing crisis and nobody went to jail. And look at where we are at now? In 20 years we are going to have smart cities run by tech barons where we are all serfs
Not me. I always get the real information before I pay. But you have to be persistent and have a desire to know. Medial fees is the same you have to contact them and have them look up the code for the fees. We are in this situation because people don't challenge this shit.
I'm wondering when we will get the hint that voting isn't fixing these problems. our systems of government appears, to me, that they have been taken over by special interests. If we want things to change, we have to get involved. I'm sure that looks different for everyone but we clearly need people we can trust in government institutions.
Sounds like an unlawful law to me, but hey. Im an American, what do I know.
Yeah there is proof of that. I wonder if most of those Americans that believe in freedom probably are the ones that voted in Trump and now look at where we are at.

Alright, you won me over. I emailed my congressman from the EFF website with my own message. That's the best I can do right now. I just feel like politics is a losing battle. If its taken over by special interests and there doesn't seem like there is any end in sight, as it gets easier and easier for them to sway the people that are actually suppose to be working for us. What is the point? When we are combating legislation that no sane person should have to deal with there comes a time where the whole thing is unlawful and it we should stop investing our power into it.
I'm sorry, your response does not adress the real world concern about the powe that for-profit entities wield over the entire software industry. So I am going to assume you just want to focus on part of the problem.
Yep. This was my first thought when I saw what it does and who's on board. The commons cannot be in the hands of for-profit companies. What ever this needs to be it has to be distributed so no single centralized location or entity can exercise control over it.
What's interesting about those documents you asked to sign, at least at hospitals, it's not a requirement even though it may appear that way by the interaction. I suspect it's the same for other medical professions as well.
I still am struggling to understand why they informed the government about something that is known to be an issue in every LLM. There is no LLM that cannot be jailbroken, so unless this means that we have reached the absolute maximum publicly accessible US made LLMs are allowed to operate at with GPT 5.5, this is not grounded in any sane regulation attempt.
I wondering where you are getting the idea that there is an sane regulation right now?
I agree. people should be shutting down all commerce, but people are so overworked or living from paycheck to pay check its probably hard to do the kind of protesting that needs to happen. Seems like UK is bad.
I appreciate that you are looking at this problem and I hope you found some interesting things to help point to something worth bringing awareness to. I don't like the business perspective on things and that sounds like the perspective you are coming from. IMHO the world is too focused on business and not enough around creativity, kindness and helping the world heal.
IMHO we are dealing with a cultural domination movement centered around authoritarianism and its engulfing everything. The business world is being used as a weapon wielded against the world, I don't think this is a leadership problem, its a problem with selfishness and whats going on in the heart.
There’s also a fear I have that designing with Claude keeps me out of a fluid, creative mindset and stuck in an iterative one, constrained to the outcomes I think Claude can produce. That’s fine for mature tools, where changes are iterative, but might mean I miss ideas when working on something new
I some times notice this. the LLM cant see past the interation so I have to think outside the box and say, what if we look at it from this perspective, and suddenly a new way of designing it comes into existance. Somes times I have to create a flow chart to get the LLM to see past its own progression steps.
No you should be clear that its not purchased product but a subscription. Don't expect people to buy into the model that people can take away your right to use a product as you wish.
Then switch to a subscription model. nobody is forcing you to operating your service indefinitely. Just don't sell something, the say you are not supporting it any longer and remove the ability to use a purchased product.
That... basically kills the entire gaming industry.
The AAA industry are already destroying the gaming industry with there shit games and stupid DRM pratices. This would be returning balance to the game industry.
Yep another lost soul at the parent that thinks piracy equals death.
Everything you are talking about appears to me as AAA. There will be many game companies that dont think it's worth the time to do this for the reasons you describe, but IMHO they shouldn't exist in the first place. The way online only games are made right now is destroying the game industry so im glad to see them go. We will see better iterations of games once the bloat is removed.
I think this will bring everything back to where it needs to be. We depend way to much on third party stuff as it is.
I'd argue that games being open source and being pirated does mean you can't make money. I think you are looking at this backwards, like the rest of the industry. You don't need to force people to buy your stuff by making it closed and preventing people from getting at your stuff for free.
THe people that matter will compensate you if you make something that matters to them.
The whole idea that you need to force people to by your stuff through restrictions is a perverse way of looking at the world.
The problem is conditions are the main reason for shit people. so its kind of a chicken and the egg problem. Its a both and problem.
I think people should use AI to start their own business instead of working for someone else's vision. I mean if you're working for someone else your choices are limited. And I'm not saying that you should be mistreated. I'm just saying you have more control of your life when you're working for yourself.
