I've always imagined my last few days on earth as being in a nursing home playing Runescape Classic (2001-2003 runescape) with just me and a bunch of bots, recreating the glory days.
I used to play on the regular world (RSC Preservation, non-bot). There's not enough people. And probably won't be hardly anyone there when I'm old enough to be in a nursing home.
I could join the bot worlds, but I'm fairly certain that they don't talk much or behave like a normal player in general (stumble through quests, make friends, trade with other random players, etc.). They probably just grind skills in some optimal way.
It's definitely sort of that. You can run your own server, as well, though this comes with its own limitations (and inherently takes away from the want for more players). Most of the developers have varying goals with the project. When I was working on the project, my care was primarily for making the game as close to the original as possible using "replays" by dedicated players before the original shut down. It was fun to write code for something that felt like it would give some folks a nostalgia hit.
I think optimally, you'd do something more akin to a "group ironman" with some friends. This guarantees you've got others around.
Does AutoRune still work on there with auto catcher when PKing? The concept of "having catch" on another player based on player ID was just crazy. All these weird bugs that ended up being core mechanics of PKing.
What year was it when you were 18? Facebook was enormous for me when I was 18, in 2008, for similar reasons. However, these days facebook is mostly just ads and generic modern feed garbage content in general.
The headlines around this are misleading potentially. I think instead of "Without Real ID" it means "Without Real ID or other acceptable forms of ID" (such as passport).
Nonetheless, ask it to “create an infographic on how Google works”. Do you not see any excitement in the result? I think it’s pretty impressive and has a lot of utility.

Humans have soul and magic and AI doesn't? Citation needed. I can't stand language like this; it isn't compelling.
I think the "soul" is coming from the fact that a human has worked, experimented, and tested with their physical senses a specific recipe until it tastes good. There is physical feedback involved. This is something an LLM cannot do. The LLM "recipe" is a statistical amalgamation of every ramen recipe in the training set.
