    Oh this is really interesting! I hadn't explored Steam Cloud as a data source. Currently the daemon watches local save directories and parses through WASM, but if Steamworks expose…

    Savecraft is an open-source MCP server that parses game save files and serves structured game state to AI assistants. Point it at your save directory and your LLM can help you with…

    I think most people would agree there’s more to intelligence than language. LLMs don’t have anything except language, so they are not intelligent.

    AGI is not a continuum from LLMs; true intelligence is characterized by comprehension, reasoning, and self-awareness, transcending mere data patterns.

    I can and did say that. The world is easier for non-deaf people. I can’t imagine even many deaf people would argue against that statement. The correct way to argue against this isn…

    “Objectively,” left-handed versus right-handed changes nothing about a person’s capabilities in the world, whereas being deaf does. Cultural norms is an interesting comparison. Des…

    If violent extremists have no choice about how they act, then you should accept that society too has no choice but to reject them. It's just the rain falling, right? If violent ext…
