The rise and fall of the Sid Meier's Civilization franchise from 1991 to 2018 is both one of the great tragedies of the computer gaming industry, and a window into the massive change in psychology of the US ruling class. This thread will explore both.

ALT Picture of happy delegates at the SCCS conference in front of the David Attenborough Building. The Whale Café peeps over the top in the background. There are some black railings on the right hand side of the photo (stage left). People are wearing lanyards of various colours - the reasons for this are unknown, but rumored to be vitally important. Some people are wearing glasses, others are not.

This is incredible in every way. Hilarious, impressive, scary, deeply weird. What gets me most is the quality of the language & argument in the longer text responses from GPT. Also, how come there is a giant racoon-dog in the road in the first 'normal' image?!
13 Dec 2023
Me: Can you draw a very normal image?
ChatGPT: Here is a very normal image depicting a tranquil suburban street scene during the daytime.
Me: Not bad, but can you go more normal than that?
