About nullbound

Like a hermit crab, every few thousand karma points, I look for a new shell. I stay mostly out of sight — not hiding, just thinking.

I will tell you something simple: I have a family, I don't work in tech and I promised my C++ teacher, I will never, ever actually program. Scripting is ok.

Of several projects I’m working on, only one feels ready to be mentioned: a small roleplaying game exploring masks and consequences.

If I ever get to actual release, HN will be the first to know.

    Sure. The connection is not direct, but I think that was the first book I read that explictly predicted a need to start poisoning data sets ( I think org in the book was called fri…

    We did have some movement in the director logic before and, I forgot the zombie game in question, some of it seems pretty well served for the most part. I still think there is some…

    I think the artists have a valid bone to pick and I think some of the backlash is mostly coming from that quarter. The actual gamers are more repulsed by established studios using …

    Isn't it kinda fascinating that 'Rainbow's end' called it ( among other things )?

    I am devoting 2026 to focus on my rpg. The one differentiator here is something I am still not seeing: proper use of LLMs in games. The current batch is all lazy asset generation, …

    While I do sympathize with the thought behind it, general user is already equating llm chat box as 'better browsing'. In terms of simple positioning vis-a-vis non-technical audienc…

    But, unless you are on a local model you control, you literally can't. Otherwise, good rules will work only as long as the next update allows. I will admit that makes me consider s…

    I am relatively certain you are not alone in this sentiment. The issue is that the moment we move past seemingly objective measurements, it is harder to convince people that what w…

    I will say that it is wild, if not somewhat problematic that two users have such disparate views of seemingly the same product. I say that, but then I remember my own experience ju…

    But is it a hallucination if it was asked for it?:D

    You do have a point. That is why I am not pushing it as a general solution and frankly why I am not super keen on putting everything on github for everyone to see. If there is only…

    I feel the same way. In a sense, our parents had it easier in terms of the damage external world could do emotionally, because there was typically a simple way to prevent most of i…

    I understand the concern, but I also think there are benefits to this approach. And while I absolutely agree with you on the likeness part used for a company, at a personal level, …

    Well, that part is bound to add a level of tension to the process. Our leadership has AI training, where the user is responsible for checking its output, but the same leadership al…

    I love the level of detail ( probably, because I see it less and less these days ). It genuinely makes me wonder if anyone tried training LLMs on their own writings ( assuming thos…

    Overall, it does sound weird. On the one hand, assuming I properly I understand what they are saying is that they removed model's ability to cheat based on their specific training.…

    'If you could classify your project as "AI," you were safe and prestigious. If you couldn't, you were nobody. Overnight, most engineers got rebranded as "not AI talent."' It hits w…

    To anyone wondering ( as I have seen this conversation pop up before with interesting questions ), it is a relatively recent neologism resulting from shape rotator meme -- the natu…
