“SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?” It was 40 years ago today, on June 3, 1983, when “War Games” was released in the US, giving us all a taste then of the dangers of giving full control to #AI systems. Watching the trailer now, it’s fun to hear all the modem sounds and everything else:

(More about the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames )

I was in high school at the time, and was dialing into BBS’s and services, so I absolutely loved the film. 40 years!!!

"Former senator says new film shows ‘how close’ we came to losing democracy on Jan. 6"

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4433751-former-senator-new-film-losing-democracy-jan-6/

"Former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones (D) said that the new film 'War Game' shows 'how close' the U.S. came to losing democracy on Jan. 6, 2021."

“And there are forces still out there that are making plans for the future doing the exact same thing or a variation of that,” Jones said.

So cheesy das klingt, war der Film, der mich als ziemlich junger Mensch mitgerissen hat in Richtung Informatik, Netzwerke, IT.

Er ist nur so halb-gut gealtert, seine Botschaft ist aber immer noch aktuell. Sowohl die Warnung vor "KI", als auch das manchmal gilt:

"The only winning move is not to play."

Little palate cleanser figure before I dive into heresy ultramarines. A Stormcast Eternal with badly chipped enamelled armour and an opalescent prismatic sword.

Don't know what army I want to do for 4th edition AoS but I loved painting this woman in a way I wasn't expecting and it's nice to do a more grounded, weathered armour for a change.

#HobbyGamesRecce
Early wargamers used two play styles, “rigid” and “free,” each reflecting a certain reliance on either detailed rules or intuitive judgment. During their evolution most modern games rely on the “rigid,” rules-focused style, though many players still exercise their creativity adjusting such procedures to craft a more satisfying game experience.
