AI Safety is a little scary. Some thoughts.

26JanuarymattihaseUncategorized

So I went down a bit of a rabbit hole the other week watching videos from Robert Miles about AI Safety. It seems like there’s a lot of risks regarding AIs that aren’t quite aligned with what humans value (and indeed, humans already probably don’t know what they value, so that’ll be hard to specify

“I want nothing more”

26DecembermattihaseUncategorizedenglish language, I want nothing more, much ado about nothing, nothing, shakespeare

What do words mean? A question that has haunted humanity since at least 1903, if not later. “I want nothing more” are interesting words in that they could be interpreted in so many ways, even if most of the time they’re not. It gives them great potential for innuendo I would imagine First off, the

Tools Development and a Kinder Loader (Part 2)

Getting Distracted: So, one of the great things about working on a game engine is there’s so many parts of it to work on. The same could be said for gamedev in general in terms of being a fusion of many art forms, but when it comes to raw programming, putting together an engine from

Well since I committed to release things weekly but didn’t have anything finished for this week, here’s a grab bag of recent art thrown together to tide the site over while I work on finishing off my bigger ideas. Will this become a regular feature? Probably.

How this all happened I wanna make video games. Definitely as a hobby, but just maybe as a job too providing I can actually get hired. It’s because of that second bit that I’ve been working on getting familiar with c++ and OpenGL so I can apply for jobs that involve those, which seem to

A New Era

The internet is changing. As you may have noticed, the internet’s kinda chaos right now. Twitter’s imploding, Facebook are bleeding themselves dry of money failing to invent VRchat and DeviantArt has decided to feed us all into the ai art machine with little guarantee to fully opt out. As you might have noticed, I’ve also

The Lonely Pharoh: A Poem

8NovemberseveralfightersUncategorized

The Lonely Pharaoh. At the end of a path not yet travelled, on a day not yet reached, a familiar man stands below an unfamiliar sky. Though he is our child, we are not his parents, only those who ushered his voyage into the afterlife with coins to pay his passage. And yet, and yet

So I’m in a book and it’s gonna be published, which is pretty cool. It originally started as a comic anthology collab for Autism Acceptance Month 2021, then we made it into a kickstarter self-published book, and then it made into actual publishing print. So cool. Me, and the people I collabed with and our

Early responses to the brave pioneers of the Rhode Space Program were mixed. Some thought they were fools, to others they were a nicely entertaining fad. There were a few hopeful fans though.

With every launch hopes soared with the rockets. Few became many, and with them came respect from the Corporations. C7, Rockomax, Tetragon. Once the ball got rolling, it seemed that nothing could stop them..

In our last episode, the nascent Rhode space program took their first steps towards reclaiming Kerbalkind’s place in the stars. Today however the space program has a new, much loftier goal. To visit Rhode’s small second moon Armstrong with sturdy robotic probes.
