![]() Nobody Saves the World, Metal: Hellsinger, etc), even though personally I enjoy reading every single article by anyone still posting on my blogroll. I’ve always struggled with “justifying” creating a blog post about some of the random shit I try to play (e.g. I really enjoyed Void’s “Games of the Year” schtick over at A Green Mushroom, where there was a running tally of games played and how they sorted themselves over the year. Which is like 5 hours a week, so not unreasonable even if I pretend to be a responsible father figure. According to HowLongToBeat, that lineup is 256 hours all by itself (main stories only). And finish off Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon: Zero Dawn. Maybe Assassin’s Creed Odyssey or Origins. Looking at 2023, my goal is to actually sit down and play Red Dead Redemption 2, Disco Elysium, Death Stranding (played 7 hours and fell off), Chained Echos, Wildermyth, and… SOMA. We’ll see if I ever pop back in.įor completeness’s sake, I also continued to play Hearthstone and Guild Wars 2 throughout 2022. Of the list, Grounded was the clear winner here with a whopping 68 hours played… and I haven’t even beaten it yet. Once again, Game Pass is the de facto best place to try out games you wouldn’t otherwise play unless they were wedged in a random bundle. You can’t even have the games sort themselves by most played. When I go to my library and choose “Sort by Recently Played,” I would expect the games to be sorted by, you know, how recently they were played. Sometimes the sidequests end up being much more interesting than the main quest for a lot of those kind of games.īy the way, the Epic Store interface is still embarrassingly shitty in 2022. Going forward, I think I’m going to have to start making a concerted effort to completely ignore side quests and such for the more open-world games. And again, I only really finished FF7R from that list. Just a shame that games stop being fun before they’re over. Play games when they are fun, stop when they aren’t. At the same time, I have been trying to embrace the whole “Spark Joy” Kondo-ism a bit more than in years past. It was especially egregious with games like SOMA, wherein I played to the first area where the first monster appears, Alt-Tabbed to see what happens if they get you, realized that there is an EZ-mode with no real consequences, and then never actually booted the game back up again. Which, if you are catering to just a few, federated groups of people anyway, maybe that is all you need.Īlthough many of the games don’t necessarily have a defined “win state” (and many are Early Access besides), realistically I only finished Meteorfall, FAR, Per Aspera, and Borderlands 3. And even in the best case scenario, doesn’t that mean tight, private control over the only unsullied datasets? Maybe the programmers can whitelist a few select, trustworthy sources, but that limits the scope of what ChatGPT would be able to communicate. Once a few of the nonsense AI get loosed in a Dead Internet scenario, there is going to be a rather sudden Ouroboros situation where ChatGPT consumes anti-ChatGPT nonsense in an infinite loop. A lot of these machine-learning algorithms get their base data from publicly-available sources. Having said that, I’m not super-optimistic about ChatGPT in general. How many thousands of professionals started over-prescribing Ox圜ontin after attending “all expenses paid” Purdue-funded conferences? Do you know which conferences your doctor has attended recently? Do they even attend conferences? Maybe they already use AI, eh? But surgeons, doctors, and everyone in-between are constantly lobbied (read: bribed) by drug companies to use their new products instead. The other funny thing here is the implicit assumption that a given surgeon knowing which drug to administer is better than an AI chatbot. It’s like the old joke: what do you call the person who passed medical school with a C-? “Doctor.” ![]() Does the lawyer win their cases? Do the patients have good health outcomes? It would certainly suck to be the first few clients that prove the professionals had no skills, but that can usually be avoided by sticking to those with a positive record to begin with.Īnd let’s not pretend that fresh graduates who did everything legit are always going to be good at their jobs. Even if we assume ChatGPT somehow made someone pass the bar or get a medical license – and they further had no practical exam components/residency for some reason – the ultimate proof is the real world application. When it comes to doctors and lawyers, what matters are results. Comment from discussion from_dust’s comment from discussion "Professor catches student cheating with ChatGPT: ‘I feel abject terror’".Īlthough I am bearish on the future of the internet in general with AI, the concerns above just sort of made me laugh. ![]()
