Hi all, so it's been awhile since the last dev diary... I've still been working on Project OY, but there's been a bunch of personal & family things going on over here so there hasn't been time to communicate much about the project. (That'll likely be the case for the next month too, FYI.)
(An in-engine shot of something being worked on.)
I did make a start on one dev diary, which was going to be a structured rant about how I hate "AI", but there's just so many reasons that it became a bit of a mess. It was either going to become a disorganized manifesto, its own project that sucked up all the negative free time I had, or both. In lieu of actually writing that whole thing, here are the headlines for each section (most of which have not been filled in):
What is "AI", Actually?
False/Misleading Advertising
Even the Cases Where it Works Are Problematic
Sucking Away Investment & Resources
Environmental Impacts
Deaths
Offloading Thinking & Humanity
Efficiency... for What?
The Greed of Capitalism
Nuance?
At one point I think there was also a "They've Invented a Computer That Can't Do Math" section. Instead of turning that into a full article/post/rant/manifesto, I'm wrapping up some new scenery in-game that should get everything in place for the reveal trailer, hopefully making the big announcement in a couple of months.
P.S. If anyone reading this is around, I'll be at GodotCon Boston in a couple weeks!
