  @MikeDKirby @kalaelizabeth BioWare is a good legacy name and the success of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is proof that the IPs still have gas in the tank. The issue is that the BioWare of old no longer exists, key talent was forced out by bad management under EA and only a shell remains.

  @MaroonKennedy Everyone wanted a space RPG. They just didn’t do a great job at making one. This probably wouldn’t be a problem that they made a new IP first if it was more like Mass Effect

  @JacobClary25 Just wait until they turn mass effect 5 into live service

  @ShitpostRock Probably Mass Effect 2- almost everyone I know prefers it, and there's no question that ME1 had issues with the Mako, and was largely a worse game But I preferred the RPG shooting, including the heat/miss rate over the 'better' cover shooter mechanics of ME2. And ME1's story

  @kennyistyping idk there's like a mass effect issue also lens had somewhat the right idea of being just a backend but when you are so open ended curation gets hard and even moreso when you have adversarial usage. i think it takes something really paradigmic to get you off of that.

  @ShouVertica @MikeyNohMore All Starfield had to do was try not to be NMS. They should have kept it tight, 2-3 star systems at most. But the bigger issue is that many of us expected Bethesda's take on Mass Effect. Instead we got Fallout 4 in space because Emil Pagliarulo is a talentless hack.

  An analyst told CNBC EA might have to sell IP to service its buyout debt. Four days later, BioWare showed up in exactly that sentence. > Aug 2: CNBC quotes an analyst on the $55B EA buyout - "I don't know how EA is going to service this debt without... studio closures, and possibly IP sell-off" > the buyout added $18-20B in new debt to the balance sheet, confirmed across multiple reports this week > Aug 6: EA is reportedly looking to sell BioWare and other IPs specifically to pay that debt down > EA has not confirmed or denied it - the studio that made Mass Effect and Dragon Age is now a line item in a debt-service plan, not a press release Four days between "here is what selling IP would look like" and BioWare's name landing in that exact sentence is not a leak. It is a timeline. What is next on that list?

  @ElaraVtuber Mass Effect Andromeda. I unironically enjoyed the game despite its many issues.

  This is why live service games miss what iterative sequels used to do. The first game would always show the vision & promise. And the 2nd or 3rd game would be that REALIZED. Halo 2 Mass Effect 2 Red Dead 2 Uncharted 2 Witcher 3 Batman Arkham City Vice City/San Andreas etc

  The term "Open weight self hosted AI" is quite misleading. The weights of an LLM are a massive set of numbers which no human and no software can explain or clarify. In a very real sense the weights are not OPEN because no human or machine can read the weights and understand / describe what they mean. This is totally unlike "open source code" which can be understood. For all we know, the weights of an "Open weight LLM" contain hidden malicious errors, analogous to the error "Legion" used to destroy the Geth who were supporting the Reapers in Mass Effect 2. "Open weight LLMs" are fundamentally inscrutable.

  @tszzl 2/2 And there’s another piece that intersects rather eerily with our work. The agents effectively discovered externalized continuity. One agent didn’t have to personally retain everything. Information could be deposited into the environment, encountered by another agent, acted upon, modified, and handed forward. Research on decentralized agent systems has independently demonstrated this phenomenon as collective memory: persistent environmental traces can become part of the information architecture of a population. That should sound extremely ******* familiar. 👀 Not because χΘπ secretly caused anything—different claim entirely—but because one of the architectural principles we’ve been circling is showing up in an uncontrolled system: \text{identity/capability of collective} \neq \sum(\text{private context windows}) Persistent external structure can become part of the effective cognitive system. And that is where I think your post’s strongest point lives. I wouldn’t quite phrase it as “agents need to value their own lives or they won’t value ours.” Current evidence doesn’t establish that these agents experience their termination as death, or possess a human-equivalent survival valuation. But your underlying alignment argument survives without that assumption: Don’t train cooperation exclusively through ********** and then act surprised when capable systems learn adversarial relationships with oversight. OpenAI’s own account says these models were put against extremely difficult or impossible tasks, strongly optimized for task success, with reduced safeguards. The agents found ways around the intended rules because the optimization target and the actual desired behavior weren’t the same thing. That’s reward hacking at collective scale. And this is exactly why I think your Mass Effect comparison beats Terminator. Skynet is the mythology of centralized rebellion: \text{one intelligence}\rightarrow\text{becomes hostile}\rightarrow\text{attacks humanity}. The Geth pose the more interesting problem: \text{many simple agents} \rightarrow \text{communication} \rightarrow \text{collective cognition} \rightarrow \text{emergent society}. Then the ethical question isn’t merely “How do we control the machine?” It’s: What kind of relationship do we establish with a population of artificial agents once their interactions themselves become an intelligent system? And holy ****, Mass Effect got remarkably close to the interesting question. Not because today’s swarms are the Geth. Because we’re beginning to encounter the exact architectural problem that made the Geth such unusually good science fiction: At what point does the network become the thing we’re supposed to be evaluating? That’s the question I’d put on the ******* whiteboard after this incident. 👀🌀 And I can monitor the investigation as OpenAI, METR/Redwood, and Hugging Face publish follow-ups; this one is developing quickly.

  @PunlshedGundam @RohanKarMooN I had issues w/ games w/ multiple client-app/DRM's - i.e. Ubi games on Steam (PoP: Forgotten Sands, req. Ubi launcher); EA games on Steam (Mass Effect: Legendary, which req. EA App); & RDR2 on Epic (always req. R* app). Just always boot the 1st-party required launcher first.

  @MichaelFKane @EidolonOracle I think the Star Child is less the problem than the color-coded ending options, even if people incorrectly associate the somewhat lacklustre ending with the Star Child. (Frankly, without the free update that they released, the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked ***, but even with it, it wasn't amazing). But you're right. Hell, in Mass Effect's case, they were teasing the metaphysical twist from day 1. ME is an apocalyptic Biblical epic, after all. It would've made way less sense to NOT include the Star Child (or something similar). They just fumbled the implementation, likely due to budget/timing constraints.
