The mechanics are old school, as with basically all RTS, but the openness allows for far more experiments than one would assume in a proprietary game.

From an outside perspective, it is perplexing to see the constant back and forth webdevs do between making website more complex and rediscovering the simpler first principles

Ok, zero data, except the data used in the teacher model.

Thought it could be a useful precision.

US grandparents think you can buy a house with a part time job, Japanese ones think that you could save a life with a watermelon. Different delusions.

Still needs work

Do users care about that? I care about features stability and avoidance of shitification.

That's why I am usually preferring open models to depending on OpenAI's API. This drama has me curious about the outcome and if it leads to more openness from OpenAI, it may gain me back as a user.

But nothing forbids people to pursue less efficient endeavors during their free time. There are people maintaining old cars and locomotive. There are people gardening or woodworking "inefficiently" for their own pleasure.

What we remove is the need to force people to work on these fields. Whether we abandon them altogether depends solely on our culture.

We should be embarrassing the weight of labor lifted from our shoulders and organize society so that it becomes desirable. Replaced professionals should be allowed to go into retirement directly and access some form of basic income. There should be incentives to automating your own work.

Now incentives are on the other way: everyone tries (understandably) to make it as hard as possible to be replaced but this just leads to a world of bullshit jobs pretending to be useful while the AIs do all the heavy lifting.

These are the downsides. These are promises. Not actual performances.
