As if trying to survive on a hostile, alien planet wasn't enough to manage already, The Alters also tasks you with keeping a group of crewmate copies of yourself alive and happy.

When you crash-land on a barren and desolate alien planet like Jan Dolski in The Alters, you're really spoiled for choice when it comes to things to complain about.

The Alters is a game where adapting to your situation isn't just important, it's essential if you don't want to die.

The Alters is a game all about key choices, branching paths, and 'what if?' moments. So, naturally, it's a game that allows you to freely choose your own adventure to an extent, and your run tends to fluctuate wildly depending on which Alter you choose for your crew.

While the interstellar setting, the rich survival systems, and those snazzy Ally Corp jackets are definitely aspects of The Alters that add to the experience. Let's be real, the unique hook of this game is the freedom to create clones of your protagonist, Jan Dolski, and indeed, the freedom to create whatever Alter that you see fit.

The Alters is a survival game that feels like a quintessentially punishing 11 Bit Studios game in many ways, but with the added confusing layer of offering an experimental design approach.

It’ll eventually be available to everyone, and it’ll be cheap. We won’t worry about energy costs either. This is all part of the vision laid out in Sam Altman’s latest essay about the path OpenAI is on, and the role it has in developing advanced ChatGPT products. If you were wondering, the CEO did acknowledge some of the risks along the way. But he also chose to downplay them. One quote from the blog is worth remembering, as it applies to the entire AI landscape, not just ChatGPT. “From a relativistic perspective, the singularity happens bit by bit, and the merge happens slowly,” Altman said. That “bit by bit” part couldn’t be more accurate, considering how we’ve experienced AI innovations in the last few years. We’ve been flooded with new AI products and features, with announcements coming at an unpredictable pace. Each one is slowly getting us closer to AGI and superintelligence, even if the progress feels almost imperceptible. OpenAI’s ChatGPT announcements this week reflect that perfectly. The company hasn’t unveiled major new AI products, but it has improved ChatGPT in meaningful ways. A few days ago, it released o3-pro and announced a major price drop for o3 queries. On Thursday, ChatGPT upgraded the Project feature, adding several important tools that should improve your productivity while using the chatbot. Continue reading...
