Coming as kind of a surprise even to myself, here's finally part II of a series on Baldur's Gate 3 I started almost 1.5 years ago.

This one is all about pessimist philosophy, Thomas Ligotti, cosmic conspiracies, (elder) brains and a sprinkle of Gnosticism. 🧠✨

A pixelart of a humanoid creature in a snowy landscape, with the upper body of a stern falcon, wings spread out and three pairs of arms with raptorial talons, some crossed over its body and some gesturing around floating, glowing balls of energy. There is a black band of short feathers around its waist, and below are its relatively unelegant human legs with a texture of rough clay

Commissioned by @ hiveshin (tumblr)

$Side-view of a shadowy figure with lanky limbs and black tangled hair, looking at the viewer with an ambiguous side-eye and crawling forward (viewer's left) while a chaotic stream of bloody hands erupts from the area of its mouth (and possibly throat) and reaches out, splitting in uneven fractals into more and more fingers and hands, some of which lean on the ground$ A figure, back to the viewer, standing in the moonlit field of grass with arms outstreched and their shining skin almost merging with the moon in the center of the picture. Below the waist the skin of the figure unravels into (or is not yet sewn from) blades of grass wrapping around the bones

Pixelart of the giant Mongolian Death Worm from Dandadan - an enormous earthworm "staring" at the viewer from among the ruins with its eye-like maw of human teeth, surrounded by a circle of tentacle/rays/eyelashes, radiating an aura/korona/iris of dazzling, nauseating yellow light

Just some maps of games I played recently that I think are really neat (Tunic, Animal Well, Midnight Walk, Silent Hill f)

Agreed, it can be surprisingly direct compared to SH2 in getting across the broad strokes of the story, but there's still plenty of nuance, ambiguity and unresolved mystery to keep tickling that part of the brain that makes you feel like you're so close to untangling something fascinating.

Currently obsessing over how ominously beautiful Silent Hill f is. They really nailed that delicate balance between fascination and repulsion.

Molly Templeton @mollytempleton.com · Jul 8

tbh I kind of think the increased use of language like "consume" and "content" about art and the experiencing of it is part of what led us to this shit timeline where everything seems disposable and people are happy to let a delusional robot do their writing for them

It's the difference between designing a piece of art and, say, a toaster

Black Tabby Games (This is Tony) - Slay the Princess @blacktabbygames.com · Jun 27

I feel like the "smoothening" of game design over the past decade or so has changed the way many players interact with the art form for the worse.

Friction often serves a purpose.

If something feels unsatisfying, why? Does that feeling contribute to the meaning of what you're experiencing?

This is it. This is why the alarm about AI mostly ought to be a much much deeper and more urgent alarm about the completely broken social and cultural environment many of us live in now.

John Herrman @jwherrman.bsky.social · Jun 26

The real AI arms race is between one another 🥰 nymag.com/intelligence...

Stories about Al deployment tend to fall into a few categories. You've got productivity stories, where workers — most visibly at tech companies — talk about how Al tools are making parts of their jobs easier or harder, increasing their workload or simply making them redundant and taking their jobs. You've got top-down management stories, where Al use is suggested or mandated by leaders demanding more efficiency, who are either betting that a great deal of automation is possible within their firms, or who are just worried about getting left behind.
Then you've got the stories in which people are more clearly using new Al tools against one another in an escalatory way.
Job hunters, now able to generate custom applications instantly, flood employers, so employers turn to Al to manage the glut. Spammers and other bad-faith actors flood social media with near-infinite material, pushing the platforms to double down on automated moderation.
Rapidly generated presentations lead to rapidly scheduled meetings recorded and automatically transcribed by AI assistants for machine summarization and analysis. Dating-app users generate chats with Al only to be filtered and then responded to by someone else using AI. The starkest and most consequential such story is what's happening in education: Teachers dealing with students who generate entire essays and assignments are turning to Al-powered plagiarism detectors, or getting pitched on ed-tech software that solves cheating with surveillance - with, of course, the help of AI.

These are stories about AI, but they're also stories about broken systems. Students flocking to ChatGPT in the classroom suggests that they see school in terms of arbitrary tasks and attainment rather than education. The widespread use of Al in job hunting drives home the extent to which platforms like LinkedIn, which promises to connect job seekers with employers, have instead installed themselves between them, pushing both sides to either pay up or dishonestly game their systems. A dating app where users see opportunity in automated flirting must already be a pretty grim space. If Facebook can be so quickly and thoroughly overwhelmed by Al-generated imagery and bots, it probably wasn't much of a social network anymore — a low-trust platform better at monetizing users than connecting them. Smaller-scale AI arms races like these don't take hold unless users (or workers, or students) have already been pitted against one another by systems they don't respect. In an uncomfortably large portion of modern life - especially online - that's exactly what's happened.
