The opening of the movie features the MIT campus full of students navigating its grounds and all the promise and status that higher education brings. [0]
Gave me the same sense of sadness realizing how much will fall to AI.

UO was the only Ultima game I played. I got into programming doing Sphere and RunUO emulation as a kid without ever knowing about the long history of Ultima games. Assuming that all of the brilliance of UO was architected in a few year span of development. Now looking back at the series seeing all the foundations is incredible. Overnight success 20 years in the making.
So many fond memories of that time.
I remember getting VB3 in 300 emails from an AOL chat room.
As an Unreal game dev what I’ve wanted to remake in QT is the Epic Games Launcher.
I think Epic may be underway on this now but if you did a good enough job I feel like there may still be a window to pitch them on acquiring your work.
Feels inevitable that code for aviation will slowly rot from the same forces at play but with lethal results.
Karpathy says if you want to truly understand something then you also have to attempt to teach it to someone else ha
Yea but for how long? Go back and read any code you wrote a year ago and realize it could have been AI that wrote it.
To the creators I think there is something here worth continuing to push and try to find traction. As a game developer this is just a matchmaking algorithm with a week to month long wait time :)
My plan was to try to prime the pump with a few popular games and reaching out to existing communities to make them aware and possibly help organize the software/tools to help onboard new players.
For example Ultima Online has Outlands. Tribes2 has a popular discord that arranges matches. I imagine WoW classic and I know C&C Generals have active communities on Discord and I think they’d be willing to work with you to help prime the pump.
Then once you’ve got that critical mass of usage hope that players will participate in other games outside their main passion to make other game dates a success.
I don't think there are enough artists in the world to achieve this in a reasonable amount of time (1-5 years) and you're probably looking at a $10M cost?
Part of me wonders if you put a kickstarter together if you could raise the funds to have it hand drawn but no way the very artists you hire wouldn't be tempted to use AI themselves.
