Udara retweeted
Udara (@TGUPJ) on why he lets every project sit for months on purpose, and what that does to the work.
Udara Jay (@TGUPJ) is a designer, engineer, explorer, and the founder of UNMS.
In this conversation, Udara walks us through New Dawn Protocol, a globe-scale civilization sandbox game about rebuilding shared systems and living with what they make possible. What once took a triple-A studio, Udara is now building on his own.
The game opens onto a larger question: what does this technology make possible, and what is it changing that we can’t see? The GPU was built to draw games and now runs AI. A phone sets a photo’s exposure without asking, and without our noticing that a decision was made at all. Agents will soon make choices for us the same way. Udara argues that most people experience AI only through their social feeds or a narrow slice of the world as it currently is, and that even the people building it can’t see where it’s going.
internetVin and Udara push the question as far as it goes: what do people become once machines run the systems we built, and why learn anything once knowing is no longer an advantage?

Udara (@TGUPJ) and @internetvin on why AI output alone isn't impressive.
"It's just demoing the outcomes of a transformer. It's not necessarily demonstrating understanding, and understanding is often the most interesting thing."
They discuss how games differ in this case, as games have to be played, and in playing you move through the maker's understanding yourself.

Udara retweeted
Udara (@TGUPJ) demos New Dawn Protocol, a globe-scale civilization game he is building entirely by himself.
In the game, you play the steward of a settled planet. Its districts and states run themselves, so you can't just order them around. You have to design things they want to take part in.
Every layer is simulated, from terrain to weather to trade. If you see a cloud, it's because there's a cloud in the sim.
His vision of the game is one in which you make decisions on behalf of millions of people and experience their system-level effects through the stories told by the individuals themselves.
