  • Absolutely. AI is really good at single tasks of specific types. For example, it’s great for organizing your emails, or creating filler content for a website, or helping suggest responses for customer support people. And sure, it did an amazing job creating code for a Google spreadsheet so I could easily scrape radio websites for their competitions and win festival tickets for the seventh year in a row. But in all these things it’s incredibly one dimensional, and still needs a human to guide it. People come to my demo calls thinking that AI agents are fully possible and capable. Nope, not yet.



  • Nope. There’s a whole thing where a human can’t move the joystick quick enough on full speed to clear the blocks so they invented a new method of tapping the joystick. This only got discovered in the last decade, and meant world record holders went from games at level 29 to games in the hundreds. This kid played until the game’s memory couldn’t cope anymore. That’s now the competition, pushing it until it crashes and hoping it happens on a higher level than the last person. The only achievement beyond this is mid-200s level when the game would roll over to 0. But that’s basically impossible because it’d crash far before that.







  • Previously not much of a gamer, I saw all the Starfield hype around release and decided to get an Xbox to play it. Didn’t like it initially, started to enjoy it around 5 hours in, have come full circle and am getting bored now (level 35) with all the repetitive stuff.

    Starfield did show me that maybe i enjoy a wider range of video games, so now I’m starting on Fallout 4, and so far I LOVE it. I’ve pretty much only done one mission and spent a looooooong time building my first base.

    I really love open world/exploration games, especially where there is crafting, hoarding, and killing bad guys in comical ways. Just Cause was amazing for that, I liked tethering people to trains because I’m secretly a maniac.
