A lot more things are pseudoscience than you might think

I mean obviously not everything everyone is going to talk about is going to be scientifically accurate. Those two examples give big “Uhm ahcktualllly” energy as they’re simply helpful to explain simple patterns because everyone knows what you mean by them.

Better examples (in my mind) would be real woo-woo shit like alt medicine or energy crystals.

Should I make my game top down or side scrolling?

That kind off decision really should come from the gameplay mechanics you want to incorporate. I’d say the only reason to pick now would be to limit scope and stick with your comfort zone. I’d encourage you to not decide right now, but try to make the roughest prototypes you can of each, trying to establish the base of your gameplay loop in each “orientation” and then compare the two and see which has the feel you want to go for

Naw man, don’t even joke about that, hope it’s just a dark joke and that it doesn’t resonate with you too much. But if it does please know that it’s never the answer and there’s definitely a hotline or website you can reach out to for help!

Edit: just now realising this might not be a suicide joke, and my humour is just too dark, lol, still leaving the comment just in case

AGI and Global Warming

  1. Please sir may I have some more pixels?
  2. Yup Climate Change should be the number one priority for every country on the planet!
  3. AGI is a way different idea than the LLMs we have today and I don’t think we should discard it too haphazardly.

The threat stemming from AGI doesn’t rely on linearly scaling intelligence, just imagine one human that can think faster than you by the same margin that a computer can do pretty much anything faster than you + it’s directly connected to the internet. As long as one grants the assumption of speed and superior programming skills, I believe one must acknowledge that a certain level of risk arises.

Also you don’t need to ascribe it any anthropomorphic intentions or even consciousness. The argument stands that if what it is going to do, be it by an errant instruction/misunderstanding or mischief, is not what a morally sane person would consider to be in our best interests, how are we going to stop it from performing said undesirable task if it’s as smart/smarter, faster and better at programming and networking than us?

100% better to know out of the gate if they’re going to judge or have an opinion. Most react really well and if you sprinkle in some humour it’s a good opportunity for some honest bonding.
