I agree that it's bad. I'm just saying that there is no way to stop it without some sort of massive government intervention, and even then it's going to happen anyway. And you can say the government SHOULD do that, but the government is so split that it never gets anything done. AI is coming, and I'm sure it's going to continually erode what's left of what we call a society.

> I agree that it's bad. I'm just saying that there is no way to stop it without some sort of massive government intervention "Massive Government Intervention" used to have a much less scary sounding name called "Public Policy" or "The Law" and it gave us all kinds of good shit, things like the highway system, the National Park system, an electrical grid, building codes and standards, a currency that is practically t…

This is called a multipolar trap. “If I don’t build it, someone else will, so I might as well cash in”

So you want to ban AI for 30 years, that's just completely impractical. It's also the government insisting that they can know whats good for you better than you can. We allow all sorts of food additives that are only now being banned because they turned out to be bad. I'm not saying we should allow them, but in general we do. All of your complaints may be valid but you are living in some sort of fantasy land if you t…

> So you want to ban AI for 30 years, that's just completely impractical. Yeah I'm sure there was a legion of corporate whining when they said the same thing about banning children working in coal mines. We'll adjust. > It's also the government insisting that they can know whats good for you better than you can. I mean most AI researchers seem at best unsure about the technology they're building. That being said, I d…

Sure I can imagine a better world but that's not gonna happen

It may have already been solved, in the way that cars were "already solved" by the model-t or airplanes were "already solved" by the Wright brothers. That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement in this space (for some definition of improvement). I just see a lot of people in this thread (and other related threads) seemingly suggesting that since these videos aren't already better than Pixar or some other arbit…

I think the room for improvement is much smaller when it's content aimed at toddlers. I don't find it improbable that we've already reached the "peak".

Hi Kiro, sorry for the random contact on a thread, but you posted a game of mine a couple of months ago (a 3D Minimalist Tetris game) and I only just now discovered your post - which explains the massive amount of traffic I got for a couple of days. I wanted to say thank you for posting.

I'm new to HN, but can see that the thread is no longer active (as in I can't reply). There was lots of great (and entertaining) feedback on the thread (especially about the terrible font). I would love to reply to those who fed back on the game and the page, now that I have ironed out some bugs with the game, and importantly changed the font to something that is much more readable (and with much better CSS). I've also released a mobile-friendly version of the game. Do you know of any way I can engage with those that commented?

Again, thanks for your interest and the two days of excitement I had looking at those analytics.

Hey!

That's funny. I checked out your Twitter after the submission started trending on HN and saw that you posted the traffic stats. I actually wondered whether you would figure out where it was coming from, so I'm glad you eventually did!

Regarding your question I don't think there's any good way to engage with people after the thread has been "archived", especially since there are no DMs on HN.

Glad I could contribute to some excitement nonetheless. I posted it because I thought it was a cool and novel approach to a classic problem. I also really liked the article (and your homepage/games in general). Keep up the good work!

Thanks Kiro, I really appreciate it. What's your twitter handle? (If you care to share).

BTW - There's a mobile version of the game too now https://nonzerosum.games/tetrings_mobile.html

It was really cool seeing all those comments about the terrible font, and the game of course.
