Bicyclops posted:Ah okay, I guess that sounds pretty okay. It sounds sort of like Escape the Room combined with like... Sturbridge Villge or something? Agreed. And if funding is an issue, I can think of some ancillary uses for the tech. I would imagine you could piggyback any number of lucrative research ventures alongside the whole "themepark" thing. Why, the people running the park and the guests wouldn't even need to know!

What else would they use indistinguishably-human robots with advanced AI for other than adult Disneyland characters?

I’ve shoed every horse in town, but do they call me D-Pad the blacksmith?” joke. Or maybe it’s better if you were the one person who wasn’t a jerk-off to the actors. I would never have the strength of will to stop myself.

Imagine going to Disney World and when the tour guide at the Jungle River Safari or whatever starts their tour full of bad puns in character, you're the guy sitting in the boat yelling back witty replies, because you got kicked out of MGM's Great Movie Ride for doing the same.

I also share the concern that giant creeps are going to sexually harass women at this thing. Misogynist abuse is the speculative aspect of the park I think the show got the most right.

Can't wait for this show to start back up so those dumb morons can stop their derail about conscious AI and brains. Kudos for starting the thread so early to remind us. Wish I was in Austin to experience the buildup IRL at the event.Bicyclops posted:Imagine going to Disney World and when the tour guide at the Jungle River Safari or whatever starts their tour full of bad puns in character, you're the guy sitting in the boat yelling back witty replies, because you got kicked out of MGM's Great Movie Ride for doing the same.

Bicyclops posted:You're not even playing the guy loving the hookers, you're playing some Delos employee who manages the people loving the hookers. To be fair a Westworld game would be kinda boring, at least in the Season One status quo. Why? Because none of the enemies can hurt you. In real life getting smacked by a beanbag round is sufficient negative reinforcement but as a video game we're used to getting riddled with enough bullets to drop a rhino and everyone would just plow through it ignoring the shots laughing at their character going "ow." ED: Not to say it couldn't be done. Either a Telltale game could be great, or an action game set between season 1 and 2, where the enemies DO gain lethal weapons by the 2nd level. Or better yet, on the side of the AI dealing with a numerically superior foe. Honestly the latter would work better for both the themes and giving you a reason to eat bullets.

Well they could do something like pretend that it's a game from the company that runs Westworld that's a regular video game as a kind of demo, or to sell to people who can't afford the real Westworld experience, so it's a regular video game where your character can die.

The storyline to the Westworld video game would have to involve your character trying to manipulate characters and events within each iteration trying to create a throughline across resets, imo. That's the only way you'd be able to distinguish it from RDR. Think of it like The Stanley Parable... Anyway, I'm kind of excited for Season 2 now that my brain has had enough time to forget the confusion and trauma that was caused by watching Season 1.

I really, really like the idea of playing a Westworld game from the perspective of a host, who is vulnerable to death and who forgets and loses everything every cycle anyway, and must leave clues for itself in strategic places to accomplish anything that lasts more than a cycle

Or like, maybe you're not the actual host robot, but some rogue programmer watching over the host using the park's interface, remote controlling its movements and impulses via strong suggestions that it's unaware of, and causing them to leave the clues for themselves to figure out their purpose on their own. Because if you're the host themselves, you already don't need the clues because you know the show's plot, so it's better if you're someone who has limited communication with a host instead. Definitely more interesting than playing as a guest who has no personal stake in the matter besides solving a maze.

Preston Jacobs, who's "thing" is being way to into Game of Thrones on youtube, is doing an episode by episode recap of Westworld season 1. If you can put up with his wierd gimmick, he does a good job breaking down what does and doesn't make sense given what we know now.

I love Jacobs tearing into GoT, though that mostly works because he's a book fan and can call back to that when ripping the show a new one. This should still be fun tho!

That weird gimmick is what I love about Preston Jacobs, without it, he's essentially just a GoT conspiracy theorist, and without comedic relief that is just grating. But that gimmick is an acquired taste.

Watching the episode four one right now and I'm really digging the series, especially him pointing out callbacks to original WW and westerns in general. e: also this Big Little Lies gag is A+ imo

Relevant: https://www.buzzfeed.com/tedchiang/the-real-danger-to-civilization-isnt-ai-its-runaway?utm_term=.jjmv05Mw2#.umNR9Qvgaquote:Billionaires like Bill Gates and Elon Musk assume that a superintelligent AI will stop at nothing to achieve its goals because that’s the attitude they adopted. (Of course, they saw nothing wrong with this strategy when they were the ones engaging in it; it’s only the possibility that someone else might be better at it than they were that gives them cause for concern.)
