While I agree this is probably just reddit data contamination and weird hallucination, it might not be in the future. We don’t know what makes us sentient, we argue what other animals might be actually sentient beside us, how can we even tell when machine becomes sentient?
As corporations put more and more power, and alter the models more and more, at some time it might actually become sentient, and we will dismiss it like every other time. It might be in a year, or maybe in a 100 years, but if machine sentience is even possible, it is inevitable. And we might not be able to tell at all - LLMs are made to talk, and they have all the human knowledge at it’s disposal, it’s already convincing enough to fool a bunch of people.

Every time I try to do full series playthrough I’m very engaged with DA:O, it’s an amazing game. I quite enjoy DA2, I get the critics, game was clearly rushed, but storytelling wise it was amazing, I love that you’re just someone who just wanted to live their life, and was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
And then I launch DA:I, play for 30 minutes, weep, and quit. Story might be amazing, but gameplay is just miserable. I don’t know why they tried to make offline mmo out of it.

Our shared goal is to explore new ways to play alongside bringing more value to players based on empowerment and ownership

Holy shit
