1/ I made an @UnderTale fan game using @ChatGPT in a few minutes this morning.

Follow this thread to learn how, along with some tricks and tips you might want to try in your own experiments.

#gamedev #chatgpt #undertale #ai Image
2/ Here's the prompt to make an Undertale RPG:

"Let's play an RPG based on Undertale by Toby Fox. You will tell me what I'm experiencing, and then present exactly 4 options. Never make a choice on my behalf. Whenever a set of choices involves an encounter with a monster..." Image
3/ Some people have noted that ChatGPT has a limited "memory" for the conversation. One way to maintain state more consistently is to simply ask it to display some stats as part of each screen: Image
4/ GPT-3 knows a lot about Undertale.

There are a lot of wikis, reddit threads, fan pages, etc.

It knows the characters and the lore.

Playing with the starting character is fun. Image
5/ If you want to jailbreak out of your own game and enter debugging commands, a good way to enable that is to simply instruct ChatGPT that this is one of the behaviors you'd like -- in the initial prompt: Image
6/ Sometimes, ChatGPT is still confused, though.

I'd love to hear if you've invented version of the prompt that address these issues.

(Also note how it sometimes lists stats on more than one line, despite being told) Image
7/ You can even meet Toby Fox in his own game, and interview him about game-making: Image

🧵 1/ The first lab reported a replication of the #LK99 superconductor.

If it works, the applications and consequences are mind-boggling.

A thread on the tech tree it accelerates -- dreamed up with the assistance of GPT-4 and Midjourney: Image
2/ One of the most important apps will be advances in quantum computers

And one of the applications of quantum is simulations of chemistry & materials.

This results in a feedback loop where we create even better superconductors, which will lead to better quantum computers... Image
3/ In addition to superconductors:

This rapid simulation can lead to superior batteries, nanotechnology, drug discovery and countless other applications in material science. Image

1/ We won Grand Prize in LA @Techweek_ Virtual Worlds hackathon, creating a fully-playable RPG in 1 day.

We devised a new programming paradigm: Semantic Programming.

Generative AI + other tech used: @AnthropicAI @Scenario_gg @BlockadeLabs w/ @Beamable @unity @AILA_Community
2/ The core of our approach was using the @AnthropicAI Claude LLM with its 100K context limit.

This enabled us to maintain a long-story with a high level of cohesion.

But it was also a matter of using XML-encoded responses to inform our UI, chainging to other genAI. Image
3/ Here's how it looks to interact with the "story mode" of the RPG system from the @AnthropicAI Claude chat interface:

1/ The future is wild! Could you create a massively multiplayer game from a text prompt?

#ChatGPT shows us the natural-language interface that could enable this.

We worked on a PoC using @Beamable and @UnrealEngine to show how: #ai #gamedev

A thread: Image
2/ First, let's revisit some of the interesting examples that apply to coding or gamedev.

I recently created a text adventure game in ChatGPT:

3/ I also made an Undertale fan game that made improvements on the problem of persistent-state in ChatGPT by incorporating the statistics bar into each output.

🧵 1/19 What do Russians believe?

An exploration of my WhatsApp talks via @squad3o3 with Russians about #UkraineRussiaWar

As always, thanks to @dsmart @PeterCorless @Osinttechnical @int_osic @WarintheFuture @SpencerGuard @antoniogm and all others working to educate and inform.
2/19 The conversation starter works. It is authentic. It is curious. People do respond at a frequency I'd never have expected.

(This is in contrast this with the original prompt that told them they are being lied to, which mostly provoked explitives)
3/19 Note that all of the observations I share here are from different people, and represent different themes. There's no single overriding or generic theme, although I've encountered some things multiple times. Read on to understand more.

🧵 1/20 open-sourcing my thinking on game theory, game design and geopolitics.

There's been talk about the geopolitical "game" being played. Most don't consider iterative play, irrationality, risk of ruin and asymmetric info.

Read on, & LMK how to improve my thinking.
2/20 The point by @balaji is neither side may be playing the same game.

But the problem we have here is really one of information asymmetry.

Not simply playing different games... but not even knowing the game being played.

3/20 Donald Rumsfeld famously spoke about "known knowns," "known unknowns" and "unknown unknowns."

But this actually left out a whole set of problems: things we *believe* we know, but are actually wrong about.
