from the things that we say, the things that we don't, or by inferring or political stances, thoughts and the like by understanding our interests from the way we talk.

Are we feeding all of our thoughts into the very machines the thought police could use to profile us? Some interesting things to think about. Or, as my favorite friendly neighborhood LLM would say. "It cuts straight to the heart of the matter"

But really, we tell these models so much about us, and they can easily create psychological evaluations on you or be used for predictive policing. I think this game brings to light some of the questions that we've been shying away from.

Bigger table, a night sky, and a camera that moves with your mouse. Here's what's in it: staging.arcanetable.app #arcanetable #tcg #ccg #playtesting

Moving your mouse causes a subtle camera sway. A small head-tilt that makes the whole thing feel more physical and immersive. It's one of those things that's hard to describe but immediately noticeable.

here is a before and after pic staging.arcanetable.app vs arcanetable.app

The table has been widened to support 4 players, with each player getting their own side of the table. Multiplayer just got a lot more interesting.

The scene now has a full HDR night sky environment. It adds real depth and atmosphere and the table actually feels like it exists somewhere now.
