Dwarf Fortress creator pretty much hit the nail in the head when it comes to the current landscape of tech. We are in a barren wasteland where terrible code goes into the main branch and the only thing we can do is just watch as it all crumbles. All of this is thanks to the fact that the executive class has decided to not think and live solely on hype and fake promises, which is very curious because they are supposedly very smart people if they are in those positions. Anyways, the fact that there is promises of replacing a ton of people in the tech sector is very tempting.

Unfortunately it will take a while more for all of this to end and actual thoughts start to emerge, for anyone who doesn’t know, Dwarf Fortress is a very complex game that leverages a pretty advanced AI. Not to be confused by the LLMs that scam peddlers push us into, the Dwarf Fortress AI is merely iterating from some lines of code and some huge chunks of randomization. It truly is something amazing to look at, and the things that you can see in the game are nothing short of crazy.
Dwarf Fortress shows that game AI hasn’t been fully solved yet, and this is a very interesting field of game development that has a ton of future ahead. Alas, trying to learn about this topic is very hard due to the fact that scammers are using the term for their own financial gain and the ruination of our own species. When they said they would revolutionize knowledge, what they meant is that they would make it less accessible for us. It is all tied to the plan that we shouldn’t own anything of course, not even our thoughts or the things we create.
