A game I'm likely to push forward and open source. An ASCII Diablo lite, built entirely by Codex in Rust. I've told Codex to implement a preview system so it can run preview any UI or game state so it and debug/fix it.
❗️🇺🇦 GTA V is being used to train drone operators. Ukraine's Ministry of Defense drone school WeTrueGun has turned GTA V into a working FPV drone simulator. Soldiers say it feels "surprisingly close" to a real setup.
WeTrueGun is one of the most serious FPV training operations in Ukraine. The school trains future Armed Forces pilots to become UAV operators, is officially accredited by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, and runs a 35-37 day course covering 340 academic hours: drone assembly, programming, tactical theory, electronic warfare countermeasures, situational-awareness systems like Kropyva and Delta, aviation meteorology, and live-fire flight training on targets.
The team built an FPV simulator inside GTA V's open world. Pilots can connect a real radio controller (the Radiomaster TX16S MK3 in the demo), fly anywhere on the massive map, design their own missions, and tune the simulated drone to match the response of their real rig. The mod even includes thermal vision modes.
Why GTA V instead of a dedicated simulator:
🔴 The map is enormous and unrestricted, no arbitrary boundaries
🔴 Dense urban terrain, moving vehicles, and pedestrian targets mirror real combat scenarios
🔴 No software gating, mission scripts, or canned scenarios
🔴 Pilots can practice tracking moving targets through complex environments
WeTrueGun is clear that GTA V is not a replacement for actual training. The GTA V build is for keeping fingers sharp between sessions, experimenting with mission design, and lowering the barrier for new recruits.

Announcing Talkie: a new, open-weight historical LLM! We trained and finetuned a 13B model on a newly-curated dataset of only pre-1930 data. Try it below!
with @AlecRad and @status_effects 🧵
We're even building a historically-appropriate OCR pipeline to avoid leakage from the future.
If you’re interested in helping out, get in touch at hello@talkie-lm.com Or, feel free to download the weights and build on the models yourself!
