The main thing to know about Inscryption is that you wanna know as little as possible about Inscryption before you play.
Also if Inscryption works for you, check out the other Daniel Mullins games. He’s got mould-breaking down to his own quirky idiosyncratic science.

No no it’s fine it’s just that if we want people to behave and think in certain ways, we can shape that by controlling what language they have available to express certain fuck I’m doing it too, aren’t I?
- Comment on What does "legitimate interest" mean in cookie settings? 2 months ago:
“Legitimate interest” is a concept from GDPR, which is the EU’s major legislation around digital rights. “Legitimate interest” is an extremely soft concept that basically says “a company must have some reason that is not obviously bullshit to process your data.” That includes advertising. “We need to know your age, gender and city so we can decide what ads to show you” is considered “legitimate interest.” See? Soft.
What it doesn’t cover is “We just think it’s desirable to accumulate as much data as we can about you for no particular reason and maybe we can just sell it one day, idk.” That would not be considered “legitimate interest.” Similarly, asking for e.g. a user’s phone number but having no particular explanation for why you need it would not be “legitimate interest.”
So when you see “legitimate interest” cookies as a category, you can interpret that as “cookies that have some purpose-- including advertising-- as opposed to literally no purpose other than superstitious data hoarding.” Block them.
- Comment on Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code? 2 months ago:
Those kinds of patterns are already emerging! That “mulling the result through a loop” step is called “reflection,” and it does a great job of catching mistakes and hallucinations. Nothing is on the scale of doing the whole problem-solving and implementation from business requirements to deployed product-- probably never will be, IMO-- but this “making the LLM a component in a broader system with diverse tools” is definitely something that we’re currently figuring out patterns for.

- Comment on Chat is this real 2 months ago:
Disney said late Wednesday that it is “deeply saddened” by the family’s loss but stressed the Irish pub is neither owned nor operated by the company. The company’s stance in the litigation doesn’t affect the plaintiff’s claims against the eatery, it added.
“We are merely defending ourselves against the plaintiff’s attorney’s attempt to include us in their lawsuit against the restaurant,” the company wrote in an emailed statement.
For some reason that word “merely” just gets right under my skin. Like they KNOW it’s peak slimy, but they are just trying to do their job, man.
…Which is to protect the company at the expense of anything else: Reason, decency, consumer rights…

- Comment on Crush House is a parody of reality TV with nothing real to say about its subject 3 months ago:
Seems like a cool concept that they just didn’t execute super well.
Like having two behavioral simulations (cast simulation interacting with props you place, and audience simulation that reacts to where you place the camera’s attention) that you need to navigate sounds cool, and bound to lead to some interesting and funny emergent experiences… but it sounds like the implementation was just undercooked.
I’d probably still give it a try on sale or something but g o d d a m m i t does that Corporate Memphis art style rub me the wrong way. Lmk when the San Andreas texture mod drops though.

- Comment on OpenAI’s latest model will block the ‘ignore all previous instructions’ loophole 3 months ago:
I don’t think it’s just marketing bullshit to think of LLMs as AI… The research community generally does, too. Like the AI section on arxiv is usually where you find LLM papers, for example.
That’s not like a crazy hype claim like the “AGI” thing, either… It doesn’t suggest sentience or consciousness or any particular semblance of life (and I’d disagree with MW that it needs to be “human” in any way)… It’s just a technical term for systems that exhibit behaviors based on training data rather than explicit programming.
