Getting ready to give my talk on Generative AI and safety at GDC! #ai #gdc
Excited to share I'll be giving a talk on Safety in Games with Generative AI at GDC this year!
Find out what happens when your "content" is also a content creator! Adversarial creativity ensues.
If you're in town and want to talk about AI in games, let me know. ! ✨

And yes. I do this every time I see a trailer. It makes me sound crazy, but if I don't write it down it actually happens instantly. I have to get my expectations set so the film maker can do their job and subvert them! 😉
Honestly I kind of hope they don't explain anything!
REALLY seemed from the trailer that they were trying to make it seem like the backrooms were a filed down memory where all of the details were rubbed out with repetition. Not in love with the idea but... I trust Kane!
Let's hope it's not a dream within a dream.
Like save someone, or pull the plug before we all live in the backrooms, or meet your dad who walked out for milk and never came home and ended up here. Or true love! Or these could all be woven into figuring out the backrooms.
The revelation of the memories could also be more general. Like this is how it works. "Brandon didn't have much of a life!"
Even if specific and dramatic, it could also be revealed at any point in the movie and then the movie progresses with a current time conflict to overcome.
Of course that voice-over could be full of crap.
Possibly a cover up. A tragedy that can be milked for money. An unethical experiment. An accident. The setting seems adult, but the original room the trailer showed could be anything. Any house. The founder/inventor, the founder's child, someone who fell into the XXX magnetic field, etc. Roswell 😅
The only thing that can have memories is a person or something with intelligence. So somehow a person, a specific person or thing with a specific memory, is involved in CREATING the backrooms. Or an alien/computer. Either way for drama to increase, it's going to end up being something "emotional".
If memories are important then a movie could follow the trajectory of "Hey what's this?" to "This is weird and dangerous" to "A clue and human emotional content to follow." to "Ah, we have arrived at an explanation that humanizes the backrooms thing without giving away all its secrets."
Could still be an AI-ish cyborgism kind of thing.
If it's a memory, then it suggests a time. An age or date where this memory might have "occured". With flourescent lights and carpets and yellow wallpaper. Or at least not ancient or futuristic.
And this will take us to where the memories came from. A specific event and/or emotional space or place. An origin story.
Memories imply a human element? But the disembodied feeling of liminal spaces could point to a human element out of context. Brain in a jar kind of thing. Ghost in the machine.
The trailer shows the "copy of a copy" effect however. Degradation like a memory of a memory. This points in an entirely different direction? The meaning changes to "the more times it remembers something, the less it does (remember)"
So the movie could go from generic, back to something specific.
Infinite abundance/space. Takes a lot of energy? Do we have that kind of technology? Power source? It would take a lot of suspension of disbelief. Radiation causes superheros kind of suspension of disbelief.
But the trailer kind if up-ends the AI/simulation thing.
Or that we are no-clipping into a different half finished or "learning" reality (simulation) that isn't meant to be used. an experiment. Maybe another dimension altogether.
Maybe we were trying to build it. Infinite office space/living space sounds like something we'd try to do.
It also goes nicely with my backrooms head canon that we are in a video game or simulation and can no-clip into a space that was not finished and isn't supposed to be used (as often happens in games and simulations). To make a simulation of this size it could require an AI or something like it.
Backrooms movie plot thoughts
The backrooms has always reminded me of an AI. Close, but not quite right. The style but too many fingers. Form, but no understanding of the *use*. Close enough. It isn't proc-gen. That would be random and endless, but correct.

It's the Official Teaser in HD of the Kane Pixels BACKROOMS! &^%$ yeah!

I highly doubt it. The AI's ability to "machine verify" good writing is only one of *many* challenges. I don't even think it's one of the hardest ones IMHO.
In the last 6 years it's been a very disappointing space and not a lot of companies really making it a priority. So probably not "soon".🤷♂️
Ads are coming to AI and this is bad * ♾️ . I'm an AI enthusiast, however AI ads border on catastrophic harm.
They have too much information and the AI is much too persuasive. It will be the most manipulative form of advertising ever created.

Ads are coming to AI. But not to Anthropic's Claude.
This is a very funny Super Bowl ad.

Not enough jams welcome AI development, so we made our own! 😅👍

Devs will have 2 weeks to make a game using AI tools. Any engine is fine, as long as it runs in the browser. Join if you dare! 🚀 #AIGameJam
Opus 4.6 is out from @anthropic.com and I'm still getting over how good 4.5 is!
Always love @emollick.bsky.social's academic memes! This one is bananas. 👏

Oh this so much. Knowing the future is actually not such a great super power if you can't act on it.
AI tools to help children (and adults) make games absolutely makes sense. AI-enabled Roblox is going to make it easier for millions of kids to realize their ideas. Fantastic!

Same. I have 1/10 the people here that I had on X at peak and I'm never getting them back. And it's not my audience either. I think X is a special case.
In many ways, you have more political impact by using your larger presence on Meta than you could hurt Meta by leaving at the moment. IMHO.
It's really uncreative to fall back to this binary, black and white, us and them, thinking about technology. Especially in the context of sci-fi.
There could have been a lot of ways to handle this better. Like a new category. This is a classic false dichotomy. Sci-fi authors should know better.
Seriously I'm glad I was raised in the 80's and can sustain myself indefinitely on irony.
@sfwa.org ruled that there can be no AI or LLMs used at any point in the writing process for stories submitted for the sci-fi Nebula Awards.
At least they support science in fiction? #AI #nebula #scifi
