Why am I seeing people comparing BotW to the OoT remake visuals as a “wow, they leveled up graphically”
Why can people not wrap their heads around things having intentionality with their visual direction? “Gamers” are a blight.

…for making art is different from machine generated art itself as a question of intentionality. I find AI produced art itself somewhat trite and boring, but when a human is making tools, intentionality returns.

Measured across 40 models: a 2x preference inside the model reaches published output at 5.5x. Every layer of knowledge work inherits the last layer's framing, and the multiplier compounds silently.

what does it mean for the act of play to have meaning?

i'm looking for something that evokes randomness, lack of intentionality, a certain mechanistic quality, and the possibility of bad outcomes

It is so very fucked that the intentionality of it all becomes almost inescapable.

In a pluralistic, modern world, a "Jewish household" is not defined solely by strict lineage or rigid compliance. It’s a dynamic space built on intentionality, culture, values, and the living choice to engage with Jewish peoplehood.

The core insight is the link between intentionality and teleology- between aboutness and goal directedness. I say that only living beings have mental states because mental states are purposeful and only living beings originate their own goals. 2/5

This is the intentionality problem of AI writing. I'm working on a blog post about it.
Beautifully put and I think a compelling reason not to start with model-written first drafts. If there were actual errors, we could fix them. But “too streamlined, somehow” is hard to revise.
Editing LLM-written text is so difficult. It's just an alien set of patterns, a local minimum I don't know how to tell someone else how to escape

One of the things for me is that intentionality in games is the thing I value over all else. Carefully constructed vignettes, and meaningful encounter design, interesting platforming challenges. It's weird that C1 has this one beat on all of those fronts.

as "good" as AI art generation gets and as many glitches and tells it gets rid of, for me at least, as someone who has studied/practiced art my entire life, it's still obvious for me to pick out, and its because it lacks intentionality behind it, and it's not really going to be able to escape that

On autoethnography as method for (queer) game studies: While queries are good, you are removed from their experiences and internal intentionality - but you do know your own internal experiences more intimately.

something something how this is a peak example of how genAi content is Not Art because art requires intentionally even if the intentionality Was "for the lolz"
A random ass French racist decided to generate a Video to Own The Libs and failed miserably because AI can't infer "intent"

Bolting AI into every layer of your development pipeline is just amplifying the distortion inherent in a process that already obfuscates the fundamental mechanics and the intentionality behind every important decision. You're lobotomizing yourself from step one and making it worse progressively.

And then this thought on AI in writing. At what point are we eschewing or offloading intentionality, vs reducing barriers to it?

Been thinking about this a fair amount recently (especially as I’ve been doing a bunch of proposal writing and such) - how even mundane writing tells you something about the person who wrote it.
