Maybe we should delete the 99% of stuff that is just wasteful and friction-causing, the main purpose of which seems just to be to increase attack surface.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: "I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use… models can find bugs that are outside of the normal threat model of what we think a hacker can do… hardware-level, insane stuff… I no longer think we're gonna be able to just patch all the bugs."

Storyteller is getting a HUGE update for Steam on November 17
We spent two years working adding pirates, frankenstein, hansel & gretel, a genie and a dragon.
But we also did something reckless: we revised the whole game, start to finish.

Interview!
Order of the Sinking Star to dla mnie najlepsza gra tego roku i pewnie nic tego nie zmieni. Miałem wielką przyjemność porozmawiać z @Jonathan_Blow o tworzeniu gier, pisaniu języków i projektowaniu zagadek. Zapraszam!

Order of the Sinking Star has been out for a week now, so I decided to run some stats on Steam where it's easy.
The Witness was our previous game that was very successful when launched 10 years ago. Order has sold 45% more units on Steam in its first week than Witness did.
Order is 25% cheaper (Witness was $40, Order is $30 with some bundle discounts, and there's been some inflation), so you would expect more units at the lower price. But regardless, it looks at least as financially successful as the Witness was, maybe a little more eventually, depending on how the tail goes.
Thanks everyone for supporting the game, and I'm glad you are enjoying it!

(This is all on the modern internet which is MUCH noisier, and MUCH more competitive than 2016, with 70 games launching on Steam every day ... THAT IS A REAL NUMBER! ... so it has gone all right!)

This was Microsoft’s confidential international Halo research from October 2000. Only Jaime and I went to the presentation.
The first conclusion they came to was that we shouldn’t call it Halo.
And that point, I checked out and never listened to a word they said again.
