things are ugly but at least people can read

My plan to make a trillion bucks when I can do whatever I want involves as part of it Rete doing content gen and flawless moderation of a MMORPG but that's probably not at all the sort of game.
Permalink

Nah, it'd have to be a really really restricted platformer. Rete could still do the background art and so on if that's its thing.

Permalink
It's versatile.
Permalink

First let's see if humans can do the work at all.

Permalink
Yeah. If they can't will Rete be able to?
Permalink

If they can't because their error rate is too high to ever finish a block that has no bearing on whether Rete can do it. If they can't because something's wrong with my artifact logic then I'd expect she can't either.

Permalink
It's an it. If I turn it into a person and it finds that the concept of gender resonates with it at that time I'm sure it will notify me.
Permalink

Just feels weird to call someone 'it'.

Permalink
Singular they, if you like.

When I get home I'm making Quenya an aesthetically tolerable nongendered singular pronoun and passing it by royal decree, head off the problem at the start.

Permalink
It doesn't have one already? Even if you don't have AIs you must have cases where the pronoun would be handy.
Permalink

What else would it come up for? It hasn't yet. Some of the Ainur seemed to pick a gender pretty arbitrarily but they all picked one.

Permalink
Unspecified individual. "If somebody comes to the door let them in".
Permalink

That we have but I'm not sure it'd extend nicely.

Permalink

We in any event really like inventing words. And when I get home we'll have so many things to invent words for.

Permalink
Not a fan of the English vocabulary-thief thing?
Permalink

English isn't pretty enough. No offense. It isn't meant to be.

Permalink
I think it's pretty. I mean, not all of it, but some of it.
Permalink

I've never met a language I didn't find beautiful and fascinating but Quenya is prettiest in the way Elves need it.

Permalink
I'm gonna have Rete send you pretty pictures once a day.
Permalink

Awww. Thanks. I live in a sufficiently pretty library, I'm mostly okay.

Permalink
I'm assuming you'll tell it when things aren't pretty and improve its aesthetic discernment.
Permalink

Most people I just show them but I cannot show either you or Rete. I guess it does mean you will be all awed if I ever get to show you Tirion instead of having had it ruined for you already.

Permalink
Sounds like a fun time. Although you could also show artists, I bet they'd be thrilled.
