I noticed I hadn’t posted something personal on here in a while. Not sure why I should, though. I don’t think that this world deserves me contributing anything of value. But I’ve been busy, so I may as well post and distract myself while Claude Code finishes what I told it to do.

I’m working on the two most compelling programming projects I’ve ever developed: one, One More Branch, a platform for interactive branching storytelling led by large language models. I’ve vastly upgraded it to the extent that it’s now capable of generating story kernels, evolving them, generating concepts, evolving them, generating story spines, generating architecture from the story spines, and then planning, accounting, lorekeeping, writing, analyzing, and scheming NPC agendas related to the next page of fiction. It’s a money sink. I’m trying to produce the perfect app of this kind, although it’s in truth dependent on near-future hardware, when we’ll be able to own silicon-based LLMs that will answer to our requests in the blink of an eye. That’s already possible for small Llama models, so I assume we’re about two years away from having Claude Sonnet 4.6-level LLMs working for us without pay-for-token schemes. If the world doesn’t end, that is.

My other project is named LudoForge-LLM. It’s a version two of what I attempted to do earlier. This time I’m focusing on developing a game-agnostic engine for running any card/board game. I’ve already implemented Texas Hold ‘Em poker in YAML files, and I’m working on Fire in the Lake as well, one of the most complex board games. My goal is to present this tool to the BoardGameGeek community as a prototyping tool; I’ll also add comprehensive analytics in the future. Indirectly, it will serve me as a couple of lines in my curriculum, to let employers know that I haven’t been fondling my balls for the last six months since I last worked. Well, I haven’t only been doing that.

My unemployment benefits, after seven years of working in IT and having to quit because of health issues, are running out next month. I’ll have to figure out how to survive as a programmer that has only worked about nine months as such in the last twelve years, in a time when programmers are going the way of the dodo due to AI. On top of that, I have to push myself to try, given that I don’t even care about whether I live or die. Been getting plenty of those “close your eyes in bed and hope you don’t wake up again.”

I haven’t been going outside much. I don’t recognize what awaits out there. It has nothing to do with me. The Western world is governed by the Epstein class, and those who pretend to be on our side are nothing but lapdogs for a psychopathic peoples who believe themselves to be the chosen ones of a non-existent god. In less than a month we’ll be at war again to serve the genocidal interests of those people. And Europe will take the brunt of “refugees” that they’ll sweep our way to get rid of our societies at the same time.

Not much else to say. People are beyond disappointing. I wish I could move to the middle of nowhere and not have to deal with human beings.
