Launch Trailer | ARC Raiders

I started working on #ARCRaiders nearly 7 years ago when it was just a bunch of wild ideas in documentation and concept art sketches.
It's cool to see how many of the original ideas made it in - this launch trailer really captures how fun and epic the game turned out to be:

The more I use Windows 11, the more convinced I am that big tech companies are desperate for AI to succeed because not only do they not know how to improve their software anymore, in a lot of cases, their broken architecture means that they don't know how to stop their software getting worse.

Lots of leadership loves talking about iteration and being agile, but when you need to put effort into making workflows fast, suddenly there’s no time available.
The cure is simple: Sit behind someone who is actually doing the work. If their tools are bad you’ll get frustrated in minutes.

I think most game dev teams underestimate how damaging slow workflows are to the ultimate quality of their game.
If it takes 5 minutes to launch the game and see your changes, I think your game is going to be MUCH worse than the alternate timeline where it took 1 minute

The BBC did what I feel is a decent analysis of the footage of agents killing Alex Pretti & how it *didn't* happen like authorities tried to suggest.
They consider the evidence carefully and draw indisputable conclusions.

In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

Extremely disappointing from someone who could have been (and still could be, if he tried) a good role model.
But no, just obliviousness and lack of care on display here. What a shame :(

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Grok Can't Apologize. Grok Isn't Sentient. So Why Do Headlines Keep Saying It Did?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.
