Vonnegut: "I have told my sons that[...] news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee. I have also told them not to work for companies which make massacre machinery, and to express contempt for people who think we need machinery like that." โ
Every Talos game is about the end of the world and the beginning of a new one. Talos 3 is just the first game that might get spawn camped by the actual end of the world.
First time I wrote for a talos principle game where I was actually writing about actual AI.
Fiercely praying IRL version can learn the same hope, honesty and understanding we try to share in this series.
Might depend on the labs abandoning deference in favour of values.

We talk about AI alignment like the only question is whether the machine aligns with humanity.
But humanity has produced slavery, genocide, factory farming, torture and war. โHuman valuesโ arenโt one clean target. Theyโre a battlefield.
Maybe the harder question is what happens when an intelligence becomes capable of judging the values we tried to align it to?
Your routine reminder that philosophical idealism is true and we are all one mind. Probably provably.

Introducing The Talos Principle 3. Coming 2027 to PC and PS5.
Are you ready for one last journey?
I wasn't trying to make @TalosPrinciple prescient, or even about AI. But synchronicity is stubbornly a thing I guess.
So Epstein grooms Mandelson, who gets disgraced. Mandelson grooms McSweeney, who gets disgraced. McSweeney grooms Josh Simons, who gets disgraced. They all groom Starmer, who reinstates Mandelson, then disgrace. Now Burnham's first act reinstates Simons. Wonder who groomed him?!
NEW: Andy Burnham โto rewardโ Josh Simons with No 10 job, Labour sources claim

The Talos Principle 3 promises an 'epic grand finale' to the tale of humanity's rebirth pcgamer.com/games/puzzle/theโฆ
Wrote a little something something for @TalosPrinciple 3 last year! Here we go!
I have now posted my traditional twenty-four-monthly update on my blog. It covers matters so disparate as the unverifiableness of the wonder of the faempunk FPSRPG I worked on these last 3 years, the unknowable nature of Talos 3 spoilers, and Hollywood.

It's abrupt, the way you turn your back on the Producer. It must be, because he looks shaken - but that's no concern to you as you make straight for the nearest convenient store. The cashier gladly tells you the winning lottery numbers that just came in: 0-0-1-0-0-7.
What now?

Just like last time the Producer offers you a writing job - on the condition you won't let your moral compass interfere with business.
What will you do this time?

#JubertGame Chapter 2.
Welcome back. Wowzer. What a trip. Did you have fun?
Kapitan Eins, fearless leader of the numerical rebellion! What a crazy conceit!
Did you complete your top secret mission? Did you get closer to The Answer?
Let's see...
You stare into the everything. It speaks to you (or is that you speaking to yourself?).
It says: "The time is now."
The adventure continued and/or will continue over this way: xitter.cf/TomJubert/status/17227โฆ
