I made a conscious effort to unplug during my vacation. Coming back, I noticed the lovely new Substack feature: Scan for AI text. Coincidentally, I had updated the About section for my Substack a while back with some notes on what my blog is *not*: "## What this isn’t Content creation isn’t my job. I write these articles because I a) love to write, and b) care deeply about our profession. It’s a fun hobby, not a job. Consequently, I don’t feel any pressure to publish on a schedule. I’d rather publish less and maintain a higher quality bar. So far, that has worked out to roughly one article pe… Related

Game designer and programmer, co-founder of id Software and co-creator of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein 3D. Now runs Romero Games in Galway, Ireland.
Sandy is conflating four stories: - The story of the contract programmer is incorrect, and was before Sandy’s time at id. The contract programmer was hired to do the SNES port of Wolf 3D (not the network code). They ended up not doing it. So, we had to stop development on DOOM for three weeks to do the port. That person was employed by another company at the time, and although they assured us they had approval to do the work, that was not true. To avoid a lawsuit, we gave them rights to publish the Mac version of Wolf 3D. See ch 12 DOOM Guy for this story. The person was a good programmer, bu… Quoting @SandyofCthulhu The house doesn't always win. Four anecdotes in which "I was there" when game companies got fleeced.

Something I've been thinking about - I am bullish on people (empowered by AI) increasing the visibility, legibility and accountability of their governments. Historically, it is the governments that act to make society legible (e.g. "Seeing like a state" is the common reference), but with AI, society can dramatically improve its ability to do this in reverse. Government accountability has not been constrained by access (the various branches of government publish an enormous amount of data), it has been constrained by intelligence - the ability to process a lot of raw data, combine it with doma… Quoting @Hrushworth The British Government is a complicated beast.

Next to proper ownership of your own work, my favorite thing about POSSE is that it massively expands what you can publish, far beyond the limitations imposed by most social media (and especially microblogging) platforms that try to enforce some uniformity in post style, length, and appearance.

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
