In my spare time I've been working on training an AI to be an RPG GameMaster, starting with a short basic single character adventure. Finally got it to the point where I can consistently do a full play through without it going sideways.

If you think AGI is almost here, just try training it to be a semi-competent DM. 🙃.

It is funny that AI is more confused about server components than I am. Come on buddy, this ain't 2023.

Training an AI DM to not suck at running games is way harder than you think. Might be the true test of AGI 🤣.

One nice thing about AI programming is that it makes it easier for us old farts to remember what the hell we were working on.

Not getting the Claude hype over Gemini 2.5. So far (in Cursor) having better luck providing massive context to Gemini that Claude which seems to be lost in my medium-sized project which has a decent bit of logic (building an AI acting as a DM via server actions).

Day 2 progress on my new online rpg platform project. Very much inspired by the @jonnybernthal #realonespodcast podcast interview with @DeborahAnnWoll - can I capture that on the web? We’ll see.
