Has there ever been a worse Premier League season for a team?

Features, mechanics, content...all important parts of a game, but also the easiest parts to get fixated on. "The game worked because of this mode!", "It worked because it shadow-dropped!", "It worked because of the art style!". Too few folks know where the experience comes from.

So much of what is talked about here, the difference between these successes and failures, is the industry's weak understanding of gameplay dynamics. Dynamics are the glue of the experience, but frequently the least focused on and discussed side of dev youtube.com/watch?v=9Q7TAk…

🚨BREAKING: Every book you have ever read. Every novel that has ever been published. It is sitting inside ChatGPT right now. Word for word. Up to 90% of it. And OpenAI told a judge that was impossible. Researchers at Stony Brook University and Columbia Law School just proved it. They fine tuned GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and DeepSeek V3.1 on a simple task: expand a plot summary into full text. A normal use case. The kind of thing a writing assistant is built for. No hacking. No jailbreaking. No tricks. The models started reciting copyrighted books from memory. Not paraphrasing. Not summarizing. Entire pages reproduced verbatim. Single unbroken spans exceeding 460 words. Up to 85 to 90% of entire copyrighted novels. Word for word. Then it got worse. The researchers fine tuned the models on the works of only one author. Haruki Murakami. Just his novels. Nothing else. It unlocked verbatim recall of books from over 30 completely unrelated authors. One author's books opened the vault to everyone else's. The memorization was already inside the model the whole time. The fine tuning just removed the lock. Your book might be in there right now. You would never know it unless someone looked. Every safety measure the companies rely on failed. RLHF failed. System prompts failed. Output filters failed. The exact protections these companies cite in courtroom defenses did not stop a single page from being extracted. Then the researchers compared the three models. GPT-4o. Gemini. DeepSeek. Three different companies. Three different countries. They all memorized the same books in the same regions. The correlation was 0.90 or higher. That means they all trained on the same stolen data. The paper names the sources directly: LibGen and Books3. Over 190,000 copyrighted books obtained from pirated websites. Right now, authors and publishers have dozens of active lawsuits against OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta. These companies have argued in court that their models learn patterns. Not copies. That no book is stored inside the weights. This paper says that is a lie. The books are still inside. And researchers just pulled them out.

A nice breakdown of some of the design/thinking that goes into our game.  youtu.be/ywUHM8qQnlc?is…

its really funny if you watch this clip it becomes clear he thinks "introspection" and "guilt" are synonymous

Rich people used to build parks and museums.

saying "we know who the sleeper cells are and have our eye on them" is so funny like you are violently arresting people for all sorts of shit and here you go "yea we know who the undercover terrorists are and we are going to just kinda watch them I guess"

I appreciate you sticking around, even though it's been years since I left Star Wars Battlefront. I built my own studio and we're revealing our first game at @pax on March 27! It's a rustic fantasy, co-op RPG with action combat. Modern retro, I'm told. We call it @wyldheartgame
