🧟♀️ NEW VIDEO🧟♀️ To celebrate 10 years of AI and Games, I wanted to go back to where it all began. The F.E.A.R. Retrospective: ~1 hour deep-dive into the making of the game as I interview Jeff Orkin @jorkin - F.E.A.R.'s AI programmer. Live on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=3Of2Nt…
After 2 years in the GDC Vault, I'm excited to share our AI Summit talk on Age of Empires IV: Machine Learning Trials and Tribulations is now freely available for all to watch at gdcvault.com/play/1027936/A…
Today's newsletter is the story of how Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's former head of ads - led a coup so that he could run Google Search, and how an email chain from 2019 began a cascade of events that would lead to him running it into the ground. wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-ki…
Huge news for anyone working in tech in the US. Noncompetes are now banned: not just in California (like before), but nationwide. Very, very relevant for anyone at Amazon (which is the Big Tech that has enforced noncompetes even for low-level engineering positions).
Incredibly honored to be featured in the latest edition of @edgeonline ! #VoidSols #indiedev

It's hard to overemphasize the extent to which so much of the problems in the games industry, a creative industry with more revenue than just about every other creative industry combined, is not "challenging economic headwinds" but fucking dogshit management.
I’ve been seeing more and more posts about game development job scams — something that seems even more cruel than usual given how many people are looking for jobs. Wanted to post this from a few years back as a reminder of what to look out for: polygon.com/22822273/riot-…
From the jump I was annoyed with Jeff Strain for taking "Possibility Space" as a studio name, when it had been a Mike Cook blog for years in this space. But then he hired a whole bunch of fantastic people, a dream team for a new narrative game. Now he's fired them.

.@UpolEhsan documented a case where de-commissioning an algorithm caused massive ripple effects in the Global South, and coined the term "algorithmic imprint" to give name to the phenomenon arxiv.org/abs/2206.03275
.@UpolEhsan spent months working with NIST to convince them to create a new category of algorithmic harms. Algorithms change human behavior. The sudden removal of algorithms--even harmful ones--can also cause unintended, harmful side-effects that should be fully considered.
As you probably know, @NIST is at the heart of the US government's AI strategy. They just released their Playbook for Trustworthy and Responsible AI airc.nist.gov/AI_RMF_Knowled… NIST has adopted our work on post-decommission algorithmic harms (under Manage 2.2)
AIs make mistakes, but knowing what they are or how they happen is not always obvious. New research led by @UpolEhsan identifies some #AI flaws and how to leverage them to help people make better decisions and contest AI results if necessary. cc.gatech.edu/news/new-strat…

@MatthewGuz Alberta must be wild in the spring! Where does all the snowmelt go?
Apparently it's in the print version as well!
one of the urgent, but depressingly low, bars we must fight for AI governance to clear is not letting the foxes guard the henhouse (and its going to be an incredibly difficult fight to get even that)
There is no reason for us to accept the generative AI crisis as inevitable, and the solutions tech companies are putting forward are not the best. They are just the solutions they agreed to 404media.co/tech-companies…
How did the idea that good performance means code that is otherwise compromised (hard to read, write, maintain) become so persistent. Often, simple straightforward code performs the best. Some of the worst code has bad performance
Very often, when solving a complex problem, we have 2 choices: 1. Clean code, but bad performance 2. Better performance, but dirtier code What would you choose?
Farewell baboos, here's to finding your loving forever home asap!
This is merely poorly-worded (they’re praising the level!), but I want to emphasize that “bad design + context = good design” is nonsense. You don’t design a “bad” thing and then “fix” it with a “good” context, the entire craft of design is about creating for a specific context
Actually this is also bad game design, but it's optional and very late in the game. It has become one of the most iconic part of VVVVVVV because of how frustrating it is. So context can make bad game design = good ? GD Platformer make me wanna dissect every video game ever.
