LOL. Thanks!
I think a lot of videogaming ideas took off after Spore that were very likely influenced by it. Shades of Jodorowsky's Dune? (But I think Spore was actually more successful than many give it credit for, which has been pointed out to me many times. 191m+ creations and counting on Sporepedia.)
Generative AI certainly opens up new possibilities! It's analogous to GPUs (enabled real-time 3D) which opened new possibilities and audiences for videogames. I also think that the fundamental magic of creative tools doesn't actually need fancy tech at all.
Jodorowsky's Dune is perfectly apt actually.
I think you were the right people with the right vision but very early and we all simply fell into the darkest timeline because what should have been hasn't happened.
If you think about it this sort of your responsibility to save the universe by embarking on this quest with me and righting a cosmic wrong. Otherwise another Covid might happen.
Also VCs have moneybags for you we got all the buzzwords neatly lined up. Come Mr. Gingold, you cannot resist this potent of a reality distortion field from an internet stranger. Or dare I say... internet friend? ;)
I definitely feel like I've made a new internet friend. :D
Besties with testiees.
I'll drop you a line sometimes later this year. Enjoy the baby good buddy!
